Tumeric

As I was flicking through the Which magazine, I came across this snipet that might be good for some Tumeric users to be aware of - there is a particular tumeric supplement marketed as Fortodol or Miradin which contains a strong anti-inflammatory drug which can cause serious damage to the liver.

The paragraph does not mention any other brand and just suggests to be careful. ‘Which’ is a respected UK magazine and they are likely to have researched this carefully before printing.

I don’t take turmeric , but thank you for posting. For anyone else this I would also agree “which” is respected and would have researched the brands before printing an article about it.

Well spotted and reported Bp.

There seem to have been several people on here - in the last few months - who have been talking of /suggesting taking turmeric. I can't recall any names, but I will try to remember (increasingly difficult!) to search them out in past posts. I remember one post where I was quite taken aback, as the poster was talking of taking Turmeric instead of Urso.

Take care,

Gritty
