Curcumin may have a number of benefits that may confer neuroprotection

[austinlewis]

So turmeric alone, gives you only 3% curcumin and the bioavailabity is low... but would taking concentrated curcumin be more effective? Alongside pepperine to promote absorption?

[alibuchh]

Can it help in patients having liver serocises

[annalisette]

Even though curcumin may be as low as 3% in the turmeric spice, I wonder if there are other phyto-chemicals in the whole spice that enhance the available curcumin?

Guess we are allergic.. Nobody i have seen have talked about this, so it is off the menu.. Sad since i had some hope for this..
