Product Description
Curcumin is now found in arthritis formula called Joint Power Rx, formulated by Ray Sahelian, M.D.Curcumin has the extract of the antioxidants found in the spice turmeric root. Curcumin contains curcumunoids (including curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxy-curcumin) which are antioxidants. Turmeric in Latin is Curcuma longa. The roots of the plant are stemlike and are used as an herb in Asian cooking such as curries. Curcumin is the major component of Turmeric (Curcuma longa) and extensive scientific research on curcumin has demonstrated its potent antioxidant properties. Through its antioxidant mechanisms, curcumin supports colon health, exerts neuroprotective activity and helps maintain a healthy cardiovascular system.Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a plant native to south India and Indonesia. Its tuberous rhizomes have been used from antiquity as a condiment, as a textile dye and medically as an aromatic stimulant. Curcumin is the substance that gives the spice turmeric its yellow color. Curry powder which is extensively used in Indian cuisine, is largely made of turmeric. Curcumin contains many powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.

Some speculate that this may prevent Alzheimer's January 15, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is an easy way to regularly get the essential ingredient of curry powder, which I've read in respected scientific news articles is correlated with lower incidence of Alzheimer's disease. From what I understand, Alzheimer's in rare in India, and in some communities in India which eat lots of curry, Alzheimer's is virtually unknown.
So, we're giving it a try, as well as eating more curries, since we like them. My husband gets a lot of cold sores, which I read is correlated with a higher incidence of Alzheimer's, so I figure this is one thing I can do to keep him healthy, and he also thinks it's a good idea. You hear a lot of bogus herbal "remedies" and other stuff (which has been discredited but persists urban-legend-wise)about aluminum, but this is the only measure I've read about which seems to have some real merit. I've very skeptical in general about "alternative" cures or remedies, and while this has not been tested as far as I know specifically for Alzheimer's, it's easy enough to take, inexpensive, and as harmless as eating turmeric.
