Turmeric Extract in Neuralisse: How Much, What Research Says, and Who Should Skip It
Neuralisse lists turmeric rhizome extract (95% curcuminoids) fifth in its 575 mg blend, so each capsule holds at most 115 mg. The exact amount is not printed. That ceiling sits at the low end of the 100 to over 1,000 mg range sold in stores. NCCIH says there is not enough evidence that turmeric helps any health purpose.

The basics
What is turmeric extract?
Turmeric is the yellow root spice from the Curcuma longa plant, a cousin of ginger. Its best-known compounds are called curcuminoids, and curcumin is the main one.
The Neuralisse label lists "Turmeric (Curcuma longa) Rhizome Extract 95% Curcuminoids." A rhizome is the underground stem that cooks grind into the spice. An extract concentrates the curcuminoids, so the powder in the capsule is far stronger than the turmeric in a kitchen jar.
Turmeric is sold mostly for joint and general comfort. It has no special role in the label's nerve claims. It is one of six ingredients, and the label gives it no amount of its own.
| Label name | Turmeric (Curcuma longa) Rhizome Extract 95% Curcuminoids |
|---|---|
| What it is | Curcuma longa · Root spice extract |
| Position in the blend | 5 of 6 (labels list blend ingredients from most to least by weight) |
| Amount per capsule | Not disclosed; at most 115 mg by label math |
| Amount used in research | Products range from 100 to over 1,000 mg a day |
| Strength of evidence | Not enough to conclude |
| Why it is used | Spice extract sold for joint and general comfort |
| Main caution | Rare but the most common herbal cause of liver injury in the U.S.; bleeding risk with blood thinners; avoid in pregnancy. |
Label math
How much turmeric is in Neuralisse?
Each capsule holds at most 115 mg of turmeric extract. The label does not print the real figure, so 115 mg is a ceiling, not an amount.
The FDA requires a proprietary blend to list its ingredients from most to least by weight (FDA, Labeling guide). Turmeric is fifth of six in a 575 mg blend. Four ingredients come before it, and each must weigh at least as much as turmeric. Five equal shares of 575 mg come to 115 mg, so turmeric cannot be heavier than that.
| Step | Figure | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Blend weight | 575 mg | Supplement Facts panel |
| Turmeric position | 5th of 6 | Label order |
| Most it can weigh | 575 ÷ 5 = 115 mg | Weight-order rule |
| Most curcuminoids | About 109 mg (95% of 115 mg) | "95% Curcuminoids" on the label |
| Real amount | Not published | Hidden inside the blend |
The true figure is probably lower. The first ingredient, magnesium glycinate, has to supply 80 mg of elemental magnesium by itself, which uses up a large slice of the 575 mg. That leaves less room for the five ingredients after it.
The evidence
What does research say about turmeric?
The short answer is: not much that holds up. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) says there is not enough reliable evidence to show that turmeric or curcumin helps with any health purpose (NCCIH, Turmeric).
What doses do products use?
LiverTox, a database run by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, notes that daily doses in products vary widely, from 100 mg to more than 1,000 mg (LiverTox, Turmeric). There is no single "studied dose" that experts agree works.
Is there research on turmeric and nerves?
None of our sources point to good trials of turmeric for nerve comfort in people. We do not stretch lab or animal findings into human promises. If you see a website claim that curcumin calms nerves, ask what kind of study it means and who took part.
We can say turmeric extract is in the formula and what the label rules allow it to weigh. We cannot say it does anything specific for your hands or feet, because the research does not show that.
Side by side
How does the Neuralisse amount compare to research?
The 115 mg ceiling lands right at the low end of the 100 to 1,000+ mg range found in turmeric products. Of the five hidden blend amounts, turmeric is the only one whose ceiling reaches the low end of its usual range.
| Question | Neuralisse label | What sources say |
|---|---|---|
| Daily amount | At most 115 mg extract | 100 to over 1,000 mg in products (LiverTox, Turmeric) |
| Standardized? | Yes, 95% curcuminoids | Strength varies by brand |
| Absorption booster listed? | None listed | Liver injury has been linked to boosted, more absorbable forms (NCCIH, Turmeric) |
| Proven benefit | None claimed for turmeric alone | Not enough evidence for any health purpose (NCCIH, Turmeric) |
The label lists no black pepper extract or other absorption aid. That cuts both ways. Plain curcumin is poorly absorbed, so less may reach the blood. NCCIH also notes that liver damage reports often involve products made to absorb better (NCCIH, Turmeric). See how every ingredient stacks up on the full ingredient list.
Safety
Is turmeric safe to take every day?
For most adults, turmeric extract is likely safe for 2 to 3 months, according to NCCIH (NCCIH, Turmeric). Longer use has less data. A few people have real reasons to skip it.
Liver
LiverTox calls turmeric the most common herbal cause of liver injury in the U.S., while stressing that cases are very rare (LiverTox, Turmeric). Warning signs include yellow skin or eyes, dark urine, pale stools, itching and unusual tiredness.
Bleeding
Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSKCC) says turmeric can raise bleeding risk and is not advised with warfarin or other blood thinners (MSKCC, Turmeric). Tell your surgeon or dentist you take it before any procedure (ODS, What you need to know).
Medicines and kidneys
MSKCC also notes that turmeric affects the liver enzymes that process many drugs, and it may raise the risk of kidney stones (MSKCC, Turmeric).
You take warfarin or another blood thinner, you have liver disease or past kidney stones, you have surgery coming up, or you are pregnant. The Neuralisse label already rules out use in pregnancy, while nursing, and under age 18.
The other five ingredients carry their own cautions. Read them together on the side effects page before you start.

Who should think twice about turmeric in Neuralisse?
Blood thinner users
Turmeric and coenzyme Q10 both appear in sources as possible bleeding concerns. Two such ingredients in one capsule deserve a pharmacist's look.
Liver concerns
If you have liver disease or drink heavily, ask for a liver check plan before adding any turmeric product.
Numbness, tingling or burning in the feet can come from diabetes, low vitamin B12, thyroid problems and many other causes (NINDS, Peripheral neuropathy). A doctor visit comes first; a supplement does not replace one.
Our take
Our honest verdict on turmeric in Neuralisse
Turmeric is a familiar, widely sold spice extract with real safety data. Its ceiling in Neuralisse reaches a normal product range. But the evidence for any health benefit is weak, and the exact dose is hidden. Treat it as a minor ingredient, not a reason to buy, and weigh its liver and blood-thinner cautions.
All six
What else is in Neuralisse?
Turmeric is one of six ingredients. Coenzyme Q10 comes right after it in the blend, and L-carnitine comes right before. Each has its own profile with the same label math and sources.
FAQ
Turmeric in Neuralisse: questions people ask
How much turmeric is in Neuralisse?
Each capsule has at most 115 mg of turmeric extract, standardized to 95% curcuminoids. The label does not print the real amount. The 115 mg figure comes from the weight-order rule: turmeric is fifth of six in a 575 mg blend, so it cannot weigh more than one fifth of the blend.
Does turmeric help nerve pain?
There is no good evidence that it does. NCCIH says there is not enough reliable research to show turmeric or curcumin helps with any health purpose. Our sources include no solid human trials of turmeric for nerve comfort, so we make no such claim for Neuralisse.
Can turmeric damage your liver?
Rarely, yes. LiverTox lists turmeric as the most common herbal cause of liver injury in the U.S., though cases are very rare. Stop taking it and call a doctor if you notice yellow skin or eyes, dark urine, pale stools, or unusual tiredness.
Can I take turmeric with blood thinners?
Ask your doctor first, and expect a likely no. Memorial Sloan Kettering says turmeric can raise bleeding risk and is not advised with warfarin or other blood thinners. Neuralisse also contains coenzyme Q10, which can interact with warfarin too.
What does 95% curcuminoids mean on a label?
It means 95% of the extract's weight is curcuminoids, the active compounds in turmeric. In Neuralisse, with at most 115 mg of extract, that works out to at most about 109 mg of curcuminoids per capsule. The real figure is likely lower.
Is turmeric safe during pregnancy?
NCCIH says turmeric supplements may be unsafe in pregnancy. The Neuralisse label is clear on its own: it is not for pregnant or nursing mothers. Food amounts of the spice in cooking are a different matter from a concentrated extract.
How long can you take turmeric supplements?
NCCIH describes turmeric as likely safe for 2 to 3 months in most adults. There is less information about longer use. If you plan to take a turmeric product for months, tell your doctor so they can watch for liver or bleeding problems.
