Taking Turmeric whilst on satins

[Harry13]

Hi all hope you are coping OK. I heard that it is bad to take turmeric if you are taking satins. Can anyone confirm this please as I've been taking it for well over a year. Thanking you in advance. Harry

There both for inflammation puposes so one may be counteracting the other best speak to your doc regarding it as turmeric thins the blood also but speak to your GP regarding this xxx

Turmeric as a seasoning to food is not so bad as I power some of my food I am cooking it is when you are taking a higher dose in tablet form it can thin the blood more. Not so sure they affect Statins but would Warfarin, I am on both

Thank you Offcut. So if you were me you wouldn't take it in capsule form. It's also got black pepper in it but I've been taking it for well over a year .

Ah, I just put turmeric in their search bar, it comes up but doesn't tell you much. I'm sure turmeric in a meal is fine - I have it often whist on statins but medicinal amounts of turmerics active good bit, curcumin, is best to do what you're doing & check first. I know any part of grapefruit interferes with statins so I absolutely never have it. P
