- jamesblonde 8y agoCurcumin won't clear out all abeta. Just bind to some and clear it. It also dampens anti-inflammatory pathways (e.g., mild inhibitor of TNF-alpha production). I see the cost-benefit being overall positive for medium-dose curcumin (like 500mg-1g/day).
- nonbel 8y agoWhat are you basing any of this on? How much benefit are you receiving for what cost? How do you know you aren't a "low abeta" individual?
- tim333 8y agoThere is quite a lot of somewhat fuzzy evidence for curcumin helping eg. this https://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2016/05/20/eating-curry-may-help-fight-off-dementia-new-study-suggests/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2016/05/20/eating-curry-... > 96 participants aged between 40 and 90 over 12 months. >In tests of verbal and memory skills, those taking the dummy pill suffered a decline in mental function after just six months that was not observed in those who took curcumin At least it has no negative side effect and tastes good in its chicken korma form.
