Natural anti inflammatory supplements Curcumin

Turmeric and Curcumin has been shown to have a wide spectrum of biological actions.
Its anticancer effect is mainly mediated through induction of apoptosis.

 Clinically, curcumin has already been used to reduce post-operative inflammation.
Safety evaluation studies indicate that both turmeric and curcumin are well tolerated at
 very high dose without any toxic effects.

Thus, both turmeric and curcumin have the potential for the development of modern medicine for the treatment of various diseases.

Inflammatory diseases
Health benefits of Turmeric and Curcumin capsules

A preliminary intervention trial that compared curcumin with a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) in 18 rheumatoid arthritis patients found that improvements in morning stiffness, walking time, and joint swelling after two weeks of curcumin supplementation (1,200 mg/day) were comparable to those experienced after two weeks of phenylbutazone (NSAID) therapy (300 mg/day) . A placebo-controlled trial in 40 men who had surgery to repair an inguinal hernia or hydrocele found that oral curcumin supplementation (1,200 mg/day) for five days was more effective than placebo in reducing post-surgical edema, tenderness and pain, and was comparable to phenylbutazone therapy (300 mg/day). Two uncontrolled studies found that oral curcumin (1,125 mg/day) for 12 weeks or longer improved anterior uveitis and idiopathic inflammatory orbital pseudotumor, two inflammatory conditions of the eye. However, without a control group, it is difficult to draw conclusions regarding the anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin in these conditions. Larger randomized controlled trials are needed to determine whether oral curcumin supplementation is effective in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Curcumin and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
