What the interaction means

The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements' zinc fact sheet's interactions section names only quinolone antibiotics, tetracycline antibiotics, penicillamine, and thiazide diuretics -- turmeric is not named. NCCIH's turmeric page does not mention zinc.

No documented interaction was identified in the authoritative sources reviewed. This is not a guarantee that no interaction exists for every dose, formulation, or individual -- it means the sources checked did not document one.

Practical context

Both substances' own current authoritative sources were checked directly, full text, in both directions.
