I've taken turmeric in capsule form with no issue, and it has really no flavor, maybe a cumin type taste. Not spicy. Warm liquid in ayurvedic is good for detoxing organs and cleansing the gut, and of course turmeric is for inflammation. I took it for a year no issues. I just like Quercetin for that now, instead. This product pictured is all in one. And I'm on Nattokinase.
