Note: While turmeric is generally safe for most people when consumed in moderation as a spice or dietary supplement, certain individuals should exercise caution or avoid it altogether. People who are allergic to turmeric or its components should avoid its consumption. Additionally, individuals with gallbladder problems, kidney stones, or those taking blood-thinning medications should consult a healthcare professional before using turmeric supplements, as it may interact with certain medications or exacerbate existing conditions. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should also consult their healthcare provider before using turmeric supplements. As with any dietary supplement, it’s essential to use turmeric responsibly and seek medical advice if you have any concerns or underlying health conditions.
