Curcumin comes from turmeric, a plant related to ginger, and has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to help with fatigue, joint pain, and rheumatism. Turmeric is a major component in curry powder, and gets its bright orange color from the active curcuminoids it contains. The primary curcuminoid is curcumin, which comprises only two to five percent of turmeric. For years turmeric has been used medicinally, and now modern science is catching up: the number of studies concerning both turmeric and curcumin are increasing and providing promising information. Curcumin reduces the symptoms of arthritis including joint pain and stiffness, especially upon waking. Research is showing that curcuminoids in turmeric have an antiarthritic effect, along with being anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antimicrobial, neuroprotective, and cardioprotective. Curcumin is promising in combating inflammatory diseases, many of which are becoming prevalent in our society. Research has shown that liposomes are an effective way to deliver powerful curcumin straight to the cells that need them, and the efficacy of curcumin in reducing pancreatic cancer growth has been demonstrated (4). Liposomes are able to effectively carry curcumin and provide a faster and better rate of absorption (5).
