Description:
nbsp; Clinical studies in humans with high doses(2–12 grams) of curcumin have shown few side effects, withsome subjects reporting mild nausea or diarrhea. More recently,curcumin was found to alter iron metabolism bychelating iron and suppressing the proteinhepcidin, potentially causing irondeficiency in susceptible patients. Further studies seem tobe necessary to establish the benefit/risk profile of curcumin.
There is no or little evidence to suggest curcumin is either safeor unsafe for pregnant women. However, there is still some concernmedicinal use of products containing curcumin could stimulate theuterus, which may lead to a miscarriage, althoughthere is not much evidence to support this claim. According toexperiments done on rats and guinea pigs, there is no obviouseffect (neither positive, nor negative) on the pregnancy rate ornumber of live or dead embryos. Curcumin has embryotoxic andteratogenic effects on zebrafishes (Daniorerio) embryos
