2. Curcumin, a yellow component of turmeric or curry
powder, however, is an exception. Almost 2000
papers have been published on the subject. Its
mechanism of action can be compared to inhibitors
of cyclooxygenase-2 (Celebrex), HER2
(Herceptin), TNF
(Enbrel, Humira, Remicade), EGFR (Erbitux and
Iressa), and vascular endothelial cell growth factor
(Avastin), all of which have been approved for
human use by the FDA.
3. Turmeric’s main ingredient, curcumin, has been shown
to have a wide array of antioxidant and anti-
inflammatory effects. Indeed, eating turmeric in their
daily curries appears to be one of the main reasons
that elderly citizens of India have very low rates of
Alzheimer’s disease. Curcumin incorporates itself into
cell membranes and makes them more orderly. This
allows the membranes to more effectively control the
flow of substances in and out of cells, which improves
cells' resistance to infection and malignancy.
4. • Curcumin is effective in reducing the
incidence of cholesterol gall stone.
• Reduce the cholesterol crystal growth
rate and the cholesterol crystal
concentration.
• Curcumin is found to be effective in
preventing the inflammation induced
increase in rat liver enzymes.
5. It has been estimated that the average daily intake of turmeric in the Indian
diet is about 2-2.5g which equates to about 60-100mg of curcumin daily.
Curcumin at a dose of 1.8g/kg/day was given to rats and 0.9g/kg/day to
monkeys with no toxicity or adverse events in India.

6. Curcumin is found to be effective in preventing the inflammation induced
increase in rat liver enzymes such as serum glutamic axaloacetic
transamilase and serum glutamic pymvic transamilase [Srimal & Dhawan
1973; Susan & Rao 19911. Curcumin is a potent scavenger of active oxygen
species including superoxide, hydroxyl radical and nitric oxide, which are
implicated in inflanimation. Studies show that it is a good scavenger of
hydroxyl radical at high concentrations but at low concentrations activated
the Fenton system to generate an increased amount of hydroxyl radical.
