ASK A NUTRITION PROFESSIONAL: DOES TURMERIC CAUSE TIREDNESS AND DIZZINESS?

Expert opinion from Livia Dickson Chen

Turmeric will hardly be the cause of these symptoms because curcumin, its main asset, is related to the treatment of symptoms such as dizziness. Evaluate if these symptoms are really related to turmeric. Consume and observe, and eliminate other possibilities such as drug interaction, especially with antihypertensives.

In normal doses, turmeric usually does not cause side effects. Some people can experience stomach upset, nausea, dizziness, or diarrhea when taking high doses.
