Does anyone know if this causes itchiness all over. Bought from reputable manufacturer. Trying to pinpoint if this is culprit. TIA

@Mom in NY This has never affected me this way, but it may be any extra niacin or B complex you may be taking.

@Mom in NY Itchiness can be an allergic reaction. I'd stop taking it.

I take it daily and no reaction. Stop taking it and see if it clears up.

@Mom in NY - You may also potentially be experiencing an allergic reaction to any of the other components/fillers/preservatives/additives in the curcumin supplement you are taking, athough it could certainly be the curcumin, itself, as well, if you are allergic to curcumin. I would definitely stop taking the supplement immediately, especially if you only just started taking it, and there are no other suspected new supplements or new food items you ingested along with it. (I had a terrible reaction to sushi years ago, and as I tried just about every type that evening, I have no idea what, exactly, set me off with full body hives. I had to end my date early telling the guy that if I suddenly found it hard to breathe, he should take me to the nearest hospital. It was a scary, sudden onset experience, and my date who ate everything I did was perfectly fine with no similar reaction.)

Good luck in resolving your itchiness. Allergic reactions can be serious.

@Mom in NY This is only my second month and I haven't noticed any itching. I start anything new by taking it every other day so I will know if it's a problem. If I'm still okay at the end of the month I will dose as suggested. Good luck.

Did you look at a site like Web MD to see the list of side effects from Curcumin and Tumeric?

I just found this article on Healthline website.

Titled: 'Does too much tumeric have side effects'.

Healthline.com/nutrition/tumericsideeffects

If you scroll down, information re: curcumin.

Also, a list of interactions with certain medications, which could be very important.

As someone else said, stop taking it to see if your itching subsides.

I'm not aware of itching caused by curcumin supps. The only supp which I know can cause itchy skin is vitamin B3 (including B3 compounds).

Itchiness is definitely a side effect.

@Mom in NY

You may have a true allergy. Sometimes exposure AGAIN to an allergen is more severe than the first times.

I don't know why you take it, but I would check with your doctor about resuming it. No way would I just resume it after determining it was causing itching (possible allergy).
