hello thanks for consulting at hcm.The average daily dosage that can be safely tolerated -400-600 mg thrice daily. This is for powdered turmeric. If the product is a fluid extract then do not take more than 30-90 drops.it can upset stomach and can cause sweating. it can lower blood pressure & acts as a blood thinner too. for low hb plz take iron supplements and also continue to take an opinion with ur cardiologist and ur general physican for arthritis.hope it helps..
