Turmeric, the actual ROOT,is so good for you! Grated into a smoothie is best. Turmeric pills often don't get into the bloodstream properly. Immune system and much more!

Thank you for sharing your experience with turmeric! Many people in cancer communities are curious about natural supplements and their potential benefits. While turmeric contains compounds that researchers are studying, it's always best to discuss any supplements - whether fresh root or pills - with your oncology team first, as they can interact with treatments or medications. Your care team can help determine what's safest and most appropriate for your specific situation and treatment plan.

Turmeric has to be taken with black pepper in order for it to be absorbed
