Curcumin Benefits From Turmeric Extract In Tablets and Capsules

Turmeric consists of the bioactive compound known as curcuminoids, and curcumin is known to be one of such curcuminoid compounds. Turmeric consists of 2%-9% of curcuminoid concentration, while 75% of these active curcuminoids are curcumin. Hence, curcumin is considered the prime compound of turmeric. 

Curcumin is the most pleiotropic molecule that exhibits antibacterial activity. This polyphenol compound has shown anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, antioxidant, wound-healing, and antimicrobial activities (Aggarwal et al., 2009). Several preclinical studies have been conducted for representing curcumin’s therapeutic potential against different human diseases. Curcumin has also shown indirect efficacy interaction with several signalling molecules. 

Curcumin extract capsules have been known as the powerhouse of antioxidants. Curcumin is extracted for the production of supplements showing higher potency when compared to turmeric. Turmeric tends to have lower bioavailability, and hence pepper addition is considered an important aspect to improve its bioavailability. The addition of piperine (also known as black pepper) shows efficacy in health treatment, reducing existing inflammation and dampening future inflammatory pathways. Curcumin capsules are mainly known for reducing the pain response. 

Curcumin with turmeric extract capsules possesses several medicinal properties. These tablets are effective in reducing inflammation and supporting healthy joints. It is further effective in maintaining cholesterol and blood sugar and fungal and bacterial growth. Several other supplements of curcumin with turmeric extract are available on the market. 

The intake of curcumin capsules and tablets is recommended by doctors, and mostly 500 to 2,000 mg of turmeric curcumin per day. These tablets and capsules have a high concentration of curcumin with much more amount that occurs naturally in foods.
