A 57-year-old New Jersey woman, Katie Mohan, suffered severe liver damage after taking high doses of turmeric supplements daily. She experienced stomach pain, nausea, fatigue, and dark urine, leading to a hospital stay and a diagnosis of dangerously high liver enzyme levels. Doctors stated she was near liver failure, requiring an IV drip to recover. Mohan, taking approximately eleven times the recommended daily dose, now warns against supplements after her near-fatal experience. The incident highlights a rising trend of supplement-related liver damage.
