A customer asked me about the curcumin and what they have to be careful of so thought I'd post this from someone in our group that had the same concerns and questioned our wellness team. This was the question and reply
I wanted to share some important info with you all. I was concerned about Contraindications with this product and did some Google research and found some info that alarmed me. It was saying that tumeric was bad for the liver and that it can cause kidney and gall stones. That it should not be used by people with liver issues and certainly not when on blood thinning meds. I made contact with the company and received the following reply - see below. I hope it helps others as it did me. The blood thinners as you will see below are still a concern so I suggest you be aware of that and mention to anyone you share the product with.
"I understand your concerns especially as a natural therapist. Let me explain: The products Nanofy and Curcumin Plus are based on nano-sized micellar curcumin, meaning curcumin that is nanometer-sized and wrapped in a micelle (a German technology). This technology, called Vidafy BioMs, greatly facilitates the absorption and bioavailability of curcumin in our body. Curcumin is the main bioactive ingredient of turmeric (root) and has a large body of research in various health-related conditions.
Now, addressing your concerns: Turmeric root contains various nutrients and components, one of which is curcumin, which makes up approximately 3% of the weight of the root. Another component is oxalates, which can accumulate and cause kidney stones, which is why it is said that they can affect the kidneys. However, as I mentioned before, this product is not turmeric, but only curcumin.
On the other hand, the same applies to liver health. Consuming a large amount of turmeric root could overload the liver and cause some type of liver alteration, but this changes when using curcumin, which is actually hepatoprotective. Regarding its use in patients taking anticoagulants such as warfarin, heparin, apixaban, etc., the studies are a bit contradictory, and it is preferable to consult with their treating physician, as anticoagulants have numerous contraindications and side effects. However, if the person is taking antiplatelet medications such as aspirin, there is no problem of interaction.
Regarding the amount of curcumin provided by Nanofy, 10 drops of the product provide 33 mg of maximum absorption and bioavailability BioMs curcumin, a safe and GRAS (generally recognized as safe) amount recommended by the FDA. Multiple studies confirm this.
I hope this clarifies your doubts."
