It is known to be an anti inflammatory. It does have some blood thinning properties according to my Nd. She suggested I take it, but had to eliminate another “ herbal” that I’ve used for arthritic/ muscular pain that also had turmeric in it. So good but needs to be managed with your entire supplement regime. Long answer, I think it helps. John,your sense?

@karinaph, I think turmeric helps keep my PMR at bay and helps with inflammation. That said, I would always run a supplement by my doctor or a pharmacist if I was taking other medications just to make sure there aren't any adverse interactions. Here's some information from Mayo Clinic that you may find helpful.
