  • Curcumin

    Hi

    Could you please tell me what the maximum amount of a Curcumin supplement can be taken daily whilst breastfeeding a three and a half year old?

    Is 400 mg of Curcumin per day too much?

    Thank you so much.

    Nikita;

    sorry, no one knows safe limit of curcumin nor how much enters milk. I'd avoid it.

      Thank you so much.

      Has this view changed since more studies have been done?

      What is the potential risk.

      ecsyn16,

      Curcumin is rated an L3-no data-probably compatible. "Curcumin can either potentiate or decrease the action of certain medications and therefore, caution should be used when taking prescription medications and using curcumin. Probably safe during breastfeeding, but due to possible interaction with metabolism of prescription drugs, minimize use if mother or infant are on other medications concurrently."
