Anyone used turmeric?

Hi just wondered if anyone has tried using turmeric either in a drink or in tablet form & if so did it have any positive effects on RLS??

Our friends recommend taking turmeric on a daily basis & looking on the internet there are some anecdotal reports that usage can help with RLS symptoms.

I have tried just about everything you can think of trying to find something that helps & am going to give this a go but would welcome your thoughts.

Hi glosman

If you type turmeric in the Search Box at the top of the page quite a few past postings will appear mentioning this. I hope this helps.

Yes I tried it but unfortunately it did not help my RLS. Don't think there is much I haven't tried but ended up on meds in the end x

I take a corned beef sandwich to bed with me, think it contains similar compounds to turmeric. Try it, works for me.

I was taking it, but then I researched more because I was getting nauseous. Took it in a hemp protein shake. I found that turmeric can affect the absorption of iron! And here I am increasing my iron intake which does seem to help. I would like to find out thoughts from others

Thank you
