Curcumin

[M-o-ggy]

A TV programme a few days ago investigated the use of curcumin.

It found scientific proof that the Curvumin as a powder worked at cellular levels but that the tablets didn’t .They didn’t know why there should be a difference

It is a UK prog called ‘Trust me I’m a Doctor’ It is one of a series.

Thanks for the info. I try to use it in cooking each week but probably need to ingest much more to be effective. I'll try to find the "Trust Me I'm a Doctor" series. Imagine there are some interesting episodes.

Now Foods has recently come out with a supplement called CurcuBrain,that they claim penetrates the blood/brain barrier for maximum absorption. You can Google it, to get more info on this product and online sellers, and also go to Nowfoods.com.

I had a quick watch. It's on BBC Iplayer for those in the UK. I am sure it will make it overseas at some stage. To summarize the powder reduced DNA methylation which may be beneficial for cancer and depression. They speculated it may be that taking it with foods -specifically cooking with fats helped with absorption.

Also not sure if they took it with pepper:
