If you watched the most recent episode of "The Pitt," you may have questions about the safety of turmeric supplements. Can they really damage your liver?

A recent survey indicates that more than 50 percent of adults in the United States look for health information on social media, particularly related to wellness and holistic medicine. Various supplements are touted as providing physical, mental and emotional health benefits.

However, some of those herbal and dietary supplements can actually cause liver damage or other serious health problems, said Joseph K. Lim, MD, a hepatologist and gastroenterologist at Yale New Haven Health who specializes in treating liver diseases. Dr. Lim is also a professor of Medicine at Yale School of Medicine.

“It’s estimated that 20 percent of drug-induced liver injuries in the U.S. are related to herbal and dietary supplements,” Dr. Lim said.
Take turmeric, for example. The spice contains curcumin, a compound known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Turmeric is a popular dietary supplement promoted as a natural remedy to improve a variety of conditions including arthritis, digestive disorders, depression and allergies. While the spice itself is generally regarded as safe, turmeric supplements can cause liver damage if taken at high dosages.
