Turmeric does nothing for me. My sister in law does not have MS but takes turmeric and swears it works wonders.

Are you wondering if turmeric can help with MS symptoms?

While turmeric is a popular anti-inflammatory supplement, the search results provided don't include specific information about turmeric's effects on multiple sclerosis.

However, other natural supplements have been studied for MS. Some MyMSTeam members have found relief using:

- Vitamin D - Studies show it may reduce inflammatory markers during relapses
- Magnesium - May help reduce spasticity, especially when combined with calcium and vitamin D
- Ginkgo biloba - Some research shows modest improvements in fatigue and symptom severity

Important considerations:

Before trying any new supplement, including turmeric, always talk with your neurologist first. Even natural supplements can interfere with your MS medications or treatment plan.

Any supplement should be used alongside your regular MS treatment plan, not as a replacement. Your doctor can guide you on safe options and proper dosing for your specific situation.

Have you talked to your healthcare team about natural anti-inflammatory options that might work for you?
