Throw up. Wonder what sort of alien plague you've contracted before remembering you took turmeric capsules yesterday.

My husband was on that trend a few years back, he lasted about 1 month.

I remember Michael Mosley did something on this a few years ago. It’s only effective when eaten, supplements don’t work. Something about heat activated or fats to absorb it. So just enjoy some curries instead! Huh I actually found it Tumeric

I cook with it all the time. Just found these in the cupboard and thought why the heck not?

Back when I was in cancer treatment, a few people (actually quite a lot of people) recommended turmeric tea/capsules to help settle a very disturbed digestive system. I took ONE dose and was spitting/shitting bright yellow for several days. This never happened when I cook with fresh turmeric root which I actually like. Stick with the real thing I reckon.
