Iron Deficiency Anemia Due to High-dose Turmeric.
Smith TJ, et al. Cureus. 2019.
Iron Deficiency Anemia Due to High-dose Turmeric. - PubMed - NCBI
..”Turmeric was associated with significant iron deficiency anemia, consistent with the binding of available iron in the gut and the prevention of absorption.
..”
Turmeric could be a viable iron binding agent to take with meals high in iron (ie red meat) if one was attempting to limit iron intake. Turmeric seems safer than the go to option on this forum for limiting uptake of iron during a meal, coffee. As coffee can cause ammonia issues when combined with high protein foods (ie red meat).
Turmeric should also be avoided around those meals if one was suffering from low iron.
