Curcumin, the active component in Turmeric, has been demonstrated to support joint mobility and flexibility, as well as support a balanced immune and inflammatory response due to its effects on the COX-2 enzyme and antioxidant potential.* However, in spite of all of these advantages, due to its hydrophobic quality, most forms of Curcumin lack bioavailability. Curcumin Phytosome provides Curcumin complexed with Phosphatidylcholine that clinically demonstrates increased absorption and bioavailability, delivering more of the benefits of this bioactive compound as compared to standard Curcumin extracts.

According to Herbal Remedies

Turmeric also interferes with drugs that reduce stomach acids, since it actually increases its production. As a result, it can cause stomach pain, bloating, nausea, and damage on the esophagus. These drugs include: Famotidine (Pepcid), Cimetidine (Tagamet),  Ranitidine (Zantac) and Omeprazole.

Additionally, its anti-thrombotic properties are beneficial, but if you take blood-thinning medications, they can be dangerous and increase the risk of bleeding. Turmeric should therefore not be used if you take medications like aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin), and clopidogrel (Plavix).

Turmeric is possibly dangerous if taken in combination with drugs for diabetes, since it strengthens their effects, and might lead to excessively low blood sugar levels.

The side-effects, in this case, involve blurred vision, anxiety, shakiness, delirium and reduced cognitive function.

In somecases, turmeric may also cause an allergic reaction, and outbreaks like rashes and hives. In case you experience allergic symptoms, make sure you lower the amount of turmeric you are taking, or replace it with some other natural remedy.
