Hello,
Thank you for the query at healthcare Magic
Turmeric have anti inflammatory properties and have shown to reduce pain and inflammation of joints.
You can take 500 mg capsules of turmeric twice daily.
However do not discontinue the medications you are receiving currently for rheumatoid arthritis and follow up with your doctor for any side effects you are experiencing with these medications.
Hope I was able to answer your question
Please feel free to address any more concerns
