Turmeric as an anti-inflammatory

Just be aware that turmeric has blood thinning properties. I found that out many years ago when I cut my finger with an immersion blender (post run failure to engage my brain) and at the ER the guy sewing it up asked me if I was on blood thinners. I told him no and he asked if I took turmeric, which I did for inflammation and joints. He said that explained why he was having trouble with it not clotting as he anticipated.
I use Thorne supplements and have been very pleased with them. Glad to hear about the Mayo connection.

I had to stop the turmeric after developing excessive bruising - I also take Repatha, Plavix and Amlodipine, which can increase bruising or bleeding.
I miss the anti-inflammatory effect of the turmeric for both lungs and joints, my hands have become far more stiff and swollen, but the alternative was to buy stock in a bandaid company!
When it comes to supplements, I stick to a few independently tested companies, and if I must buy online, I stick to their sites or authorized sellers, and not Amazon or resellers.
