We give a lower bound for the numerical index of the real space Lp(μ) showing, in particular, that it is non-zero for p≠ 2. In other words, it is shown that for every bounded linear operator T on the real space Lp(μ), one has sup|∫ |x|p-1\sign(x) T x dμ| : x∈ Lp(μ), ‖x‖=1 ≥ (Mp)/(12\e)‖T‖ where Mp=maxt∈[0,1]\frac|tp-1-t|1+tp>0 for every p≠ 2. It is also shown that for every bounded linear operator T on the real space Lp(μ), one has sup∫ |x|p-1|Tx| dμ: x∈ Lp(μ), ‖x‖=1 ≥ (1)/(2\e)‖T‖.
