Ingredients
Curcumin, a major component of the rhizome of Turmeric (Curcuma longa), gives the spice its yellow colour. Combining curcumin with piperine from black pepper is one way to improve how well the body absorbs curcumin.[4]
Olive leaf (Olea europaea) is traditionally used to help the kidneys remove water in mild water retention; this rests on long experience with herbal medicines made from the leaf. Its main constituents include secoiridoids such as oleuropein.[5]

Precautions
As a food supplement it is not a medicine and is not meant to treat, prevent or cure diseases. People who are pregnant or breastfeeding should talk to a health care provider before starting the supplement. The same applies to anyone on medication. Children should be given the supplement with caution, except when a health care provider has recommended this product.[6]
- Turmeric taken by mouth can cause nausea, vomiting, acid reflux, stomach upset, diarrhoea or constipation.[4]
- Liver damage has been reported in some people who took curcumin products made to be better absorbed. Anyone who notices signs of liver damage should stop taking turmeric or curcumin products and see a health care provider; such signs include tiredness, nausea, poor appetite, dark urine or yellowing of the skin.[4]
