Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, has strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Researchers study its ability to reduce oxidative stress, support mitochondrial function, and slow aging.
Curcumin plays a role in reducing inflammation present in conditions such as arthritis, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s. It also helps counter oxidative stress, which occurs when free radicals outpace the body’s ability to neutralize them.
Beyond managing symptoms, curcumin may influence biological pathways involved in cell growth, repair, and programmed cell death. It potentially slows the aging process and extends healthspan.
Despite its benefits, curcumin has low bioavailability, meaning the body absorbs and utilizes it inefficiently. Researchers are developing improved formulations to enhance absorption and maximize its potential as an anti-aging compound.
