Description:
1. Anti-inflammatory:
Curcumin, the main active ingredient of turmeric, has anti-inflammatory effects, and inflammation is an important human function. It helps defend against foreign invaders and plays a role in repairing damage. Because curcumin has a good anti-inflammatory effect, it is as effective as some anti-inflammatory drugs to help fight chronic inflammation.
2. Antioxidant:
Oxidation is one of the causes of aging and many diseases, so antioxidants can protect the body and delay aging. Curcumin happens to be a powerful antioxidant that counteracts the damage of free radicals. In addition, curcumin promotes the activity of the body's own antioxidant enzymes.
