I took Kurk for approximately 25 days.
Had some routine bloods taken and these showed I had elevated liver function (LFTs), indicating liver stress or/and damage. I also experienced debilitating fatigue, severe abdominal pain, and nausea so intense I couldn’t eat for three days—every attempt ended in vomiting.
Thankfully, my blood results gradually improved upon stopping the Kurk and my latest bloods 2 weeks later have shown improvement and I'm slowly feeling a little better.
I contacted the company to inform them of what had happened. I received a generic apology, along with a vague acknowledgment that curcumin *can* cause liver issues in some cases. I wasn’t offered a refund, so I asked if I could have one—given the product not only failed to help but clearly made me unwell I felt it was only fair. I said I could even send evidence in the form of my GP notes if necessary.
I was told I couldn’t receive a refund because more than 60 days had passed. Considering it takes several weeks for these kinds of adverse effects to present, it wouldn’t have been possible to notify them any sooner.
To make matters worse, they offered to send me a free bottle of the product that had harmed me—an offer that felt dismissive and frankly inappropriate.
I’m sharing this experience to make others aware: while curcumin is often seen as safe, it can have serious side effects for some people. Please consult your doctor and monitor your health closely if you decide to try it.
