Gurley said it’s important to check with your doctor before trying any supplements.
Dr. Bill Gurley, the principal scientist in the National Center for Natural Products Research at the University of Mississippi, has dedicated decades to researching the safety of herbal supplements.
Although his research covers a wide range of supplements, Gurley personally takes a minimal amount of supplements in his daily routine.
In an interview with Insider, Gurley revealed the three supplements that he personally takes and believes are beneficial:
Turmeric
Turmeric has gained popularity as a treatment for indigestion and reducing inflammation.
Gurley takes turmeric daily because of its general anti-inflammatory properties. One study found that curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, may relieve joint swelling, pain, and morning stiffness in patients with osteoarthritis.
It’s important to purchase turmeric supplements from reputable brands to ensure they don’t contain contaminants that can be harmful to your health. Gurley recommends using turmeric formulated by the brand Thorne, specifically their phytosome curcumin supplement.
Tea tree oil

Gurley uses tea tree oil daily to maintain healthy skin.
Tea tree oil is known for its benefits in various skin conditions such as acne, dandruff, wound healing, nail fungus, candida infections, and skin allergies.
Gurley recommends caution when purchasing tea tree oil products as some companies may substitute it with cheaper alternatives like eucalyptus oil without informing the consumer.
A multivitamin
