Is there a way to remove oxalate from turmeric?

Considering it is high in oxalate (just as black pepper, that I also use to increase its bioavailability) and that could lead to developing kidney stones, how could I remove it from the powder? Should I soak it, just like with vegetables?

I don’t have full knowledge of this, but isn’t consuming curcumin extract a good idea in that case? The amount of turmeric you have to consume to get the same amount of protective effects is very high, and that will only increase oxalate intake.

The opposing view can be that along with curcumin, turmeric has other protective compounds, and we will lose them if we consume curcumin instead of turmeric.

Do you have risk factors for kidney stones/have you developed them before? Simply having high mineral content in your diet wont do it alone without additional risk factors at work (that’s why only ~tenth of people will develop them even though many people are chronically dehydrated). Ensuring you are always hydrated enough for dilute urine is the easiest way to prevent them.
