5 proven curcumin benefits
Summarized from page Healthline, here are the proven health benefits of curcumin:
1. Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant
Curcumin has very strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. However, the curcumin content in turmeric is not very high, which is about 3% by weight of turmeric.
So, it is very difficult to get the benefits of curcumin if you only use it in cooking spices. If you want to feel the full effect, it is necessary to take supplements that contain large amounts of curcumin.
Unfortunately, curcumin is difficult to absorb into the bloodstream. Curcumin is also fat soluble, so you should drink it with a fatty diet.
