Meru Health: Turmeric Study *

Our study focuses on determining the feasibility of asking our patients to take a daily curcumin-with-black-pepper supplement and determining whether doing so is associated with a reduction in inflammation markers (high sensitivity c-reactive protein and interleukin-6) as well as mental health symptoms (depression, anxiety, etc.) without any associated harms. All participants will receive the 12-week Meru Health Program, with one group taking mailed turmeric supplements.
