Curcumin is an active component of Turmeric (Curcuma longa), widely used for medical treatments of various diseases for more than 2500 years in Asian countries. During this long journey Turmeric has become a cornerstone in Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine.
Research from academic space has indicated that Curcumin is important for multiple aspects related to the human health. This is why multiple clinical studies have been started to evaluate the effectiveness of Curcumin in various human diseases, and some have already started to deliver promising results.
In line with the recent findings, it is now believed that Curcumin may add value on the following lines:
- Helps maintain the health of the liver [EFSA ID 3908];
- Helps to control inflammatory responses within the body [EFSA ID 2030];
- Helps to promote appetite in cases of loss of appetite [EFSA ID 2744]
- Prevents the accumulation of fats [EFSA ID 2751]
- Helps to keep the skin healthy [EFSA ID 4008]
- Helps to maintain the efficacy of the immune system [EFSA ID 4009]
- Helps to maintain resistance to allergies [EFSA ID 4009]
- Supports production and quality of blood [EFSA ID 4010]
- Supports heart function [EFSA ID 4010]
- Supports blood circulation [EFSA ID 4010]
- Helps maintain the health of the lungs and upper respiratory tract [EFSA ID 4011]
- Supports the function of the nervous system [EFSA ID 4014]

The potential added value of Curcumin to the human health is indeed indicated by the fast-growing interest of the academic research. Indeed, a search in PubMed (the largest database of life sciences publications) indicates a total of about 24.000 scientific publications so far. And this may only be the beginning. The academic attention is fast-growing, from only 100 publications in year 2000, to about 2400 publications in year 2023. Therefore, Curcumin has become one of the most outstanding and fascinating plant extract, known to us.
While the academic and clinical findings related to its potential are numerous and many are often outstanding, supporting its traditional use, inline with the European regulation, these findings cannot be addressed here.

I am very pleased with the strength and efficacy of this product. Also, it is good to have a tablet to swallow, which I find easier than a capsule. The very bright yellow of this product tells me that the source of the curcumin is a good one.
