Brief Answer:
One pill a day.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for query.
Turmeric supplements are considered safe when taken at the recommended doses. However, taking large amounts of turmeric for long periods of time may cause stomach upset and, in extreme cases, ulcers.As you already have reflux problems i would recommend you to take only one pill every day.

As they are all natural supplements so chances of adverse effect are very less.
Thanks!
