Take curcurmin with (black) pepper, which increases its absorption.
"Curcumin...multiple health benefits, which appear to act primarily through its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. These benefits are best achieved when curcumin is combined with agents such as piperine [black pepper,] which increase its bioavailability significantly. Research suggests that curcumin can help in the management of oxidative and inflammatory conditions, metabolic syndrome, arthritis, anxiety, and hyperlipidemia. It may also help in the management of exercise-induced inflammation and muscle soreness, thus enhancing recovery and subsequent performance in active people. In addition, a relatively low dose can provide health benefits for people that do not have diagnosed health conditions."
Benefits in healthy people:
"Curcumin significantly lowered triglyceride levels but not total cholesterol, LDL, or HDL levels."
"Inflammation-related neutrophil function increased..."
"There was a decrease in salivary amylase activity, which can be a marker of stress, and an increase in salivary radical scavenging capacities..."
"decrease in beta amyloid plaque, a marker of brain aging..."
"One hour after administration, curcumin significantly improved performance on sustained attention and working memory tasks, compared with the placebo. Working memory and mood (general fatigue and change in state calmness, contentedness, and fatigue induced by psychological stress) were significantly better following chronic treatment."
