We get a lot of questions about the use of turmeric supplements for pain and inflammation. While it is safe to include in our daily foods, higher-dose supplements may not always be a good option, especially for those with a history of kidney stones or a higher risk of bleeding (for example, if taking a medication to prevent clotting).

Please chat with our pharmacists about whether this or other supplements are right for you.

Here's a great video on this topic by Lindsay Dixon, a Vancouver Island pharmacist!
