When looking for a turmeric supplement that may help with HS inflammation, here are some tips on what to look for:
- Turmeric curcumin — curcumin is the active anti-inflammatory compound in turmeric, so look for this specifically on the label
- Black pepper (piperine) — this helps your body absorb turmeric much more effectively
- Ginger — often paired with turmeric in combined supplements for added anti-inflammatory support
A myHSteam member shared that they take "turmeric with black pepper," which is a popular combination for better absorption. It's worth noting that while some members report turmeric helping reduce the severity of flare-ups, scientific evidence specifically for HS is still limited. Dietary changes and combining supplements with your existing treatment plan tend to show the best results.
Always check with your dermatologist before starting any new supplement, as they can flag any potential interactions or side effects specific to your situation.
