Interactions with Herbs and Dietary Supplements
Based on animal studies, turmeric may increase the risk of bleeding when taken with herbs and supplements that are believed to increase the risk of bleeding. Have been reported multiple cases of bleeding with the use of Ginkgo biloba, fewer cases with garlic and fewer cases with saw palmetto.

Based on animal data, turmeric may reduce blood sugar. Individuals taking other herbs or supplements or medication for diabetes should consult a health professional before initiating use of turmeric.

Turmeric may lower blood levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL or “bad” cholesterol) and increase high density lipoprotein (HDL or “good”). In addition, turmeric may increase the effects of herbs and supplements that lower cholesterol such as fish oil, garlic, guggul, or niacin.

Based on animal studies, turmeric may interfere with the way the body processes certain herbs or supplements using the cytochrome P450 enzyme system of liver. As a result, the levels of other herbs or supplements may become too high in the blood. It may also alter the effects that other herbs or supplements possibly have on the P450 system.

Turmeric may lower blood pressure and therefore have an additive effect when taken with herbs that also lower blood pressure.
