This article discusses the link between synthetic curcumin and liver injury. I'm not sure if the article is by subscription only, which is why I didn't post it with my comment above. It should be noted that the Nutraingredients_usa articles tend to be supportive of the dietary supplement industry.

Interesting article. The supplement I use says it is from the rhizome of curcuma longa (the plant that gives us turmeric) so I would say it is not synthetic. We need to look for USP or other certification on herbal products, and not necessarily shop by price. Also, when supplement companies give their herbal ingredients proprietary names instead of using plain Latin, I wonder what I am getting, and whether it is from the earth or from a lab. This includes some of the big advertisers in print, on the air or on-line.
