Turmeric / Curcumin Extract
Anti-inflammatory botanical; rare hepatotoxicity reported (notably some enhanced-bioavailability products).
What it is
Turmeric/curcumin is used for inflammation/joint symptoms. Authoritative safety sources note rare cases of clinically apparent liver injury.
How it works
Curcuminoids influence inflammatory signaling; absorption enhancers can increase systemic exposure and adverse-event risk in susceptible users.
What the evidence says
Moderate evidence for inflammation-related outcomes; safety monitoring is important due to rare hepatotoxicity reports.
Safety Notes
- Rare but potentially severe liver injury has been reported; product formulation matters.
- Not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
- Use caution with: active liver disease (caution).
