Curcumin promotes your body’s healthy response to inflammation by inhibiting key inflammatory factors such as NF-kappaB, a protein molecule that acts like an “on-switch” in genes that govern the body’s pro-inflammatory responses. Curcumin has been shown to exert powerful inhibitory effects on NF-kappaB activation.14-19

Curcumin also inhibits the metabolism of arachidonic acid, as well as the activities of cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase, and cytokines (interleukins and tumor necrosis factors).20-23 Other clinical trials suggest that curcumin can promote healthy bowel function and joint health.24-34

Immune system and brain function health

Curcumin extract promotes immune system health by inhibiting histamine release from mast cells.35-38 Curcumin can also benefit your mind: In some studies, curcumin supported healthy brain function and offered neuro-protective benefits.39-49
