10 Side Effects of Turmeric
Turmeric Side Effect #6: Iron Deficiency
It is very important that we have a diet with sufficient iron in it. This is because iron is necessary for making hemoglobin, and hemoglobin is important for allowing us to circulate oxygen around the body. Without it, our bodies can quite literally suffocate. Fortunately, iron is fairly easy to include in our diets, but that doesn’t mean to say that problems cannot occur.
Compounds that are found in turmeric are able to bind to iron. This makes it harder for our bodies to absorb the iron and this could lead to an iron deficiency in the blood. Iron supplements are likely to help if you do have difficulties with iron deficiency.
