Natural Curcuma is a supplement made of an extract of curcumin. So many studies have shown benefits from curcumin supplementation that a number of pharmaceutical laboratories are trying to patent synthetic products which mimic its mechanisms of action.
What are the Benefits Associated with Natural Curcuma?
Curcumin is a potent antioxidant with a range of health benefits including helping to protect the body from cancer:
- Protects cells from free radicals through various mechanisms: in vitro, it even protects bacteria from lethal doses of radiation.
- Stimulates the immune system in general, as well as in a localized way.
- Regulates expression of nuclear kappa beta factor, a growth factor for cancerous cells and in vitro, inhibits the proliferation of prostatic cancerous cells.
- Blocks estrogen-like xenobiotic carcinogens such as the herbicide Paraquat, nitrosamines, and certain solvents.
- Inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX), two inflammatory enzymes instrumental in the development of certain cancers, particularly colon cancer.
- Has a similar level of anti-inflammatory efficacy as aspirin.
- In vitro, it induces apoptosis (programd death) of cancerous cells more effectively than selenium, vitamin A, vitamin D3, or green tea.
- In vitro, it stops the proliferation of cancerous cells at stage 2 of their development.
- Helps inhibit angiogenesis (development of blood vessels which feed tumors) by interfering with the enzymes AP-1 and metalloproteinases.
- It is effective at protecting against viruses (its traditional use) and in vitro, inhibits replication of HIV in chronically infected cells.
- Inhibits abnormal platelet aggregation which leads to heart attacks.
- Reduces cholesterol by stimulating bile secretion.
- Reduces excess wind (bloating) in the stomach and intestines.
