Many uses of Curcumin
Curcumin has been the focus of many preclinical and clinical trials over the last decade which have demonstrated its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, antiviral and neurotrophic effects.
The human microbiome has tremendous potential to impact our physiology and health, including immune defence and protection against pathogens, lipid metabolism, production of vitamins, production of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that are an important energy source for intestinal mucosa, and neurotransmitter production.
Curcumin supplementation can favourably alter the microbiome composition and diversity and reduce inflammatory bacteria count. curcumin can have positive effects on intestinal barrier permeability. Pathogenic bacterial and parasitic infections are associated with many systemic and chronic diseases such as autoimmune diseases, dementia and psychiatric illnesses such as bipolar, depression and schizophrenia. In vitro, animal and some human studies have confirmed curcumin’s antibacterial, anti-parasitic and antifungal activity.
When choosing a Curcumin Supplement, ask your Practitioner for the most bioavailable brand.
