    Anti-Inflammatory Turmeric & Spices Bulk Mix Recipe & User's Guide. a tub of spices

    As I’m sure you know by now, turmeric has superior anti-inflammatory effects and truly amazing Alzheimer-prevention powers. I have also personally realized turmeric is also a painkiller and natural mood elevator of the first order!

    Turmeric is truly unique in its exceptionally high margin of safety versus the drugs it has been compared with, such as hydrocortisone, ibuprofen, chemotherapy agents, and more.

    My husband (68) calls this bulk mix his “concoction”! He has felt SO much better since I started him taking turmeric (with black pepper) that he has really taken off and become proactive about it – even creating his own similar Mexican Hot Cocoa Blend for his morning coffee …for about 2.5 years to date.

    I felt it was about time I do a separate post on the bulk mix recipe because so many have asked me how I do this. Making it in bulk saves much time over mixing each drink individually.

    Build Your Own Bulk Mix of Turmeric & Spices 

    I show and list the ingredients we use in our bulk mix but I’m not one to measure exact amounts. Simply create your own special blend!

    I am looking for the widest number of health benefits I can incorporate into this superfood tub. Take it once, twice or 3 times a day depending on what you want to accomplish!

    If you do not want to make a tub, you can take the capsule (2-3 a day) I take when I am not home or very busy (simply for convenience).

    Your tub can be as simple as turmeric and black pepper alone or as complex as many ingredients together!

    The dry ingredients (what we do) in descending order from most to least are:

    • Turmeric, organic (about 90% of mixture)
    • Raw cacao powder (optional – you may not want caffeine if you plan to take it before bedtime)
    • Protein powder OR chocolate protein powder or maca powder (ones I use, optional)
    • Cinnamon (we use a LOT for it’s broad medicinal benefits)
    • Ginger (another powerful anti-inflammatory which boosts turmeric)
    • Collagen (Gelatin) Powder (optional – for hair, nails, and connective tissue for beautiful skin)
    • Cayenne (optional) (to boost metabolism, gut health, and add to pain relief)
    • Black pepper, fresh (mandatory) (increases absorption of turmeric up to 2000%)
    • Himalayan pink salt (add 2-4 rounded tsp. to get a broad range of trace minerals each day)

    Note: In my photo below, I used approximately 2 1/2 cups of turmeric and only about 3 sl. rounded tsp. of fresh ground black pepper.

    Turmeric and black pepper are mandatory for this blend. The bulk mix should always consist of 85-90% turmeric.

    We now know that the bioavailability, serum levels, and levels of absorption of curcumin all improved dramatically when both are present.

    One study found that when 2 g. (1 tsp.) of curcumin alone was ingested, serum levels stayed very low. However, when 20 mg. piperine/black pepper (just a little pinch – 1/20th of a teaspoon) was added to curcumin, the bioavailability increased by 2000%! When taken with a bit of fat or oil, it enhances the bioavailability of curcumin another seven to eight-fold.

    Anti-Inflammatory Turmeric & Spices Bulk Mix Recipe & User's Guide

    How to take the Mixture Daily for Pain Relief, Anti-Aging, & Mood Elevation

    My husband takes 1 rounded teaspoon of the mixture 2 – 3 times a day when he needs significant pain relief. He is very physically active on the farm, keeping up with things like moving trees, doing heavier projects for me, and beekeeping, etc. which has caused him to ache all over if not for this. People vary in how much they need, so seek for your personal sweet spot.

    You can start with 1/2 tsp. and work up to where you are feeling results and less pain!

    He adds it to his “Mexican coffee” in the AM or takes it at other times in an inch of water and then chases it with plain water.

    He sweetens his morning coffee maple syrup or honey to taste OR stevia drops to taste. He adds a dollop of virgin coconut oil or coconut milk for the fat.

    Since 1 LEVEL tsp. of ground turmeric (alone) is ~2,000 mg., I estimate that 1 ROUNDED tsp. of the bulk mix (with other ingredients) is still ~2,000 mg. since the turmeric is 85% or more.

    We estimate 3x/d to be about 6,000 mg. a day which is a medicinal dose (as opposed to the amounts taken in food).

    According to the traditional medical community, 3,000 mg. is the maximum amount of standardized turmeric curcumin you should take per day, yet multiple studies used up to 8,000 mg. with NO toxicity. Cancer would be one situation where more would be used. I have written a post on that. Feel free to talk to your doctor.

    Note: Turmeric is not recommended for individuals prone to kidney stones. 

    When eaten with fat (virgin olive or coconut oil or meat drippings) as is done in India, curcumin can be directly absorbed into the bloodstream through the lymphatic system thereby partially bypassing the liver. This enhances the bioavailability of curcumin another seven to eight-fold.

    Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

    Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
    Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.

I just made up a big batch of this and put it in my coffee. Hope I got the ratios right. Thank you, Jacqueline, for this recipe! Praying it works for me, too!

        I just wonder, is it possible that the turmeric you took wasn’t pure/organic? Maybe there were added colors or other ingredients that caused the tint to your hair.

      Hi Jacqueline,
      The recipe calls for collagen (gelatin) protein powder. I am confused by this. I have two separate protein powders: grass fed collagen protein and a different can of grass fed gelatin protein powder. They have very different properties when used in recipes. Collagen stays liquid in both hot and cold drinks, whereas gelatin will gel a hot liquid once it is chilled. I’m thinking you are using gelatin since this is used for hot beverages??? Thanks for clarifying.

        Virginia, I think either is fine to use as it will be consumed right then and not cooled (to thicken). Our bulk tub has gf collagen in it at present! I almost always make it slightly different each time! 😀
        I hope that helps!
        Hugs, Jacque

      I just started experimenting with what to add before I make a mix. So far I left out maca (because I had none and it just arrived with my turmeric) cocoa powder and cayenne. I will be adding those at some point but right now mine tastes just like a
      Chai tea. I love it with coconut mil and the oil. It’s like chapstick in a mug too. Lol. So excited. I have been sharing this article left and right.

      Another amazing post. Can you give any information on where to buy quality ingredients? How much would someone take daily for general wellness? What is the shelf life? Do you know if a way to store it for longer term – maybe a vacuum sealed jar? I’m trying to learn as many long term storage methods I can. Thanks so much!

        Hi, Becki,
        I have each product linked in the post to the best product in my opinion. You may find them elsewhere or use another brand if you find a better price.
        They are spices and will last very well for years and retain potency (store in cool, dry, dark place).
        You can take this as much as you want. This post (at the bottom) will tell you more on how much you can take: https://deeprootsathome.com/how-to-make-use-turmeric-golden-paste/

        I hope that helps!!
