Your feedback
Good for you

Curcumin, the active compound, can inhibit xanthine oxidase and reduce inflammation. Culinary amounts are safe and may help lower uric acid modestly in some people.

Bad for you

High-dose curcumin supplements can interact with blood thinners and are not a substitute for prescribed urate-lowering therapy. Clinical evidence remains mixed for urate reduction.
