Turmeric supplements raise liver enzyme levels.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
4 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Turmeric supplements raise liver enzyme levels?

Partly. Evidence is mixed and partial: case reports and a USP review describe rare turmeric-associated liver injury, while a large umbrella meta-analysis of NAFLD patients found turmeric lowered AST and ALT, and a 90-day safety trial found no liver enzyme changes. No source settles whether turmeric supplements generally raise liver enzyme levels.
