About this remedy

Curcumin, the primary active compound in turmeric, has been studied in over 120 clinical trials for inflammatory conditions. A meta-analysis found curcumin extract (1000 mg/day) significantly reduces pain and improves function in osteoarthritis patients, comparable to ibuprofen. Black pepper's piperine is essential for absorption.
