The Magic of Curcumin

The popularity of curcumin in traditional and integrative medicine may be attributed to its beneficial effects on low-level inflammation and free radical damage, two factors linked to many chronic illnesses. Studies show that curcumin reduces inflammation by downregulating the COX-2 enzyme, similar to the medications acetaminophen and ibuprofen. It also decreases iNOS enzymes, which are involved in the production of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is an important molecule that helps modulate certain body functions, such as vascular tone and insulin secretion.

Curcumin has been shown to provide a variety of health benefits primarily attributed to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. As a result of its low absorption and bioavailability, it’s best to seek out a supplement with enhanced absorption that has been clinically verified.
