A member asked:
Which turmeric supplements are the best? are they ok to take with plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) for uctd? what about omega 3?

Here are some ...: Reading the label and third party review will give some insights of being good or bad since these products are not regulated but oftentimes highly commercialized; that is the only possible way to discern. As to using the supplements in facing UCTD, I could not sense any potential contraindication except allergy to individual ingredients. In fact, the studies for specific concerns are lacking.
