I did look into this before and it seemed like yes, curcumin is effective if it can get into the gut, but also it's mostly destroyed by stomach acid so you need to either take huge amounts or take specially prepared capsules that will release the curcumin in the intestine. I'm not a doctor and I didn't follow up on this for a few years. But it's something to consider if you plan to take this - just eating loads of turmeric is probably not going to do anything (although it's tasty and probably has other health benefits not related to curcumin).
