I have turmeric in my kitchen and use it from time to time, mainly in Indian cooking. I don't make curries very often, but I do enjoy them a lot. I always thought that turmeric was very healthy for the body. But apparently there are some side effects. What can you tell me about that?
Hi Brunhilda! As far as I know the Turmeric is considered a safe herb. However, I red somewhere that prolong use of higher than recommended doses can cause stomach upset and other gastrointestinal disturbances. I also found that there is no recommended daily allowance on turmeric because it is not considered an essential nutrient. Thez say that a typical adult dosage as a stand-alone supplement is 400 to 600 of curcumin a day. There are also some categories that should avoide tumerc : Pregnant women, women who are trying to conceive or women that have a history of fertility problems, women who are nursing, people with a blood-clotting disorder, people on any type of medication, people with health conditions. If you recogniye youself in one of theese categories I guess you should avoide it. I also have some tumeric in my kitchen, I don't even remember how I got it XD . I'm not realy sure how to use it. So if you have some advice it would be useful. Thanks. All the best to you!

I have been taking Active Atoms Turmeric Supplement and it has been great for my overall health. No side effects known. I've been buying it from Amazon and it's one of the legit kinds of turmeric supplements.
