For a counterpoint, read Derek Lowe’s “Curcumin Will Waste Your Time” about all of the issues with Curcumin research: https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2017/01/12/curcumin-will-waste-your-time https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2017/01/12/cu... It’s also worth noting that Curcumin has been trialed for several conditions with no significant positive outcomes that I’m aware of. I think the truth falls somewhere in the middle. Curcumin isn’t the broad-acting wonder drug that some of these articles claim. However, it doesn’t appear to be completely inert, either. Be careful with marketing material from supplement vendors that focuses only on the positives. It’s not hard to find reports of Curcumin having various vague negative effects like reducing libido (apparently reverses several days after cessation) and other hard to pin down side effects. Finally, it’s important to keep in mind that not all inflammation is bad. Inflammatory signaling plays an important role in many biological processes and it is entirely possible to overdue it with anti-inflammatories in ways that become counterproductive.
