[Barbs52]

Hi, anyone taking Mycophenolate also taking turmeric supplement for inflammation and if so any good? Thanks 😊

Hi Barbs,

I take Mycophenolate, and I understand that high doses of turmeric could have a blood-thinning effect. As with lupus we are a higher risks of strokes, plus I also have coagulation issues and I take daily aspirin, I've kept away from any turmeric supplements. It'd be good to ask your consultant before trying turmeric.

Good luck!

There is no actual scientific evidence that shows turmeric helps inflammation. There is evidence that too much, or turmeric contaminated with toxins are not good.
