Summary

Curcumin is the main bioactive polyphenol in turmeric, studied for its ability to modulate inflammatory and oxidative stress pathways. It is commonly used for joint comfort, metabolic health, and as part of an anti-inflammatory dietary pattern. Because plain curcumin is poorly absorbed, many products include bioavailability enhancers such as piperine or specialized formulations.
