Curcumin's Anti-inflammatory Benefits and Considerations

Curcumin has potent anti-inflammatory effects, beneficial for joint pain and inflammation by boosting glutathione. Derived from turmeric, it is a staple in Indian cuisine and contributes to low rates of arthritis. While lacking evidence for lifespan extension, its post-workout use may inhibit muscle growth. Dietary intake is recommended over supplementation, which has less evidence and safety.
