How Can Osteoarthritis Be Treated?
I ve been taking Turmeric, 1 capsule daily. It has helped with my osteoarthritis. A nurse asked me if I take baby aspirin. I ve been taking an 81mg dose for the last 15 years. Anyway, she said that Turmeric will render the baby aspirin ineffective. Is this true, and should I stop taking Turmeric? I ve never had an issue with blood clots or blood thinners.

Hello,
Turmeric does not interact with Aspirin.
You can safely continue both together. It will not affect the efficacy of one another.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
