Curcumin

Curcumin molecular structure

Curcumin is a turmeric pigment sold in high-dose extracts for inflammation claims. Absorption is poor without special formulations.

Peat's view

Food spice amounts differ from gram extracts. Upstream PUFA and endotoxin still dominate inflammatory load. Treat extracts as drugs.
