Turmeric overdose is now possible

[MarionP]

Saw this in the Washington post about turmeric supplements being more than normally effective in delivering turmeric, and in some rare cases, but increasing, inducing liver damage, perhaps acute, and since we can't really get by without our liver at all, thought I'd put this up. Like I said it's rare, but increasing, and there are a few people who are susceptible.

Good for people to be aware of this danger. Case reports:

what dosage?

[park_bear in reply to Smittybear7]

Life is not that simple. Dosages varied all over the map. In one case only 250 mg. Others were higher. if you are interested I suggest you read the reports.

Thanks for the links PB! I read through them, and as near as I can tell all the patients recovered once they stopped the supplement. I take 2 grams a day of Mireva Curcumin. I will be on the lookout for Jaundice. Thanks!
