Question : I have begun some new supplements and have begun to suffer itching on my neck, both fore arms, etc. Earlier, I had a severe pollen reaction, but that is long over. Could a supplement such as tumeric for pain, joint and muscle or a supplement of Omega 3 for general well being cause itching that is driving me crazy? XXXXXXX XXXXXXX Brick

Brief Answer:
Please provide the name of the supplements

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I understand your concern.

Yes any supplement including turmeric extract and omega 3 can cause itching.
I would need to know the names and brand of the supplements so I can give you an informed opinion. In the mean time I recommend you take Benadryl and stop taking the supplements for the time being.

I will be waiting for your reply so I can advise you further.

Take care
