(Medical-NewsWire.com, January 12, 2014 ) Ashland, OR -- A spokesperson from Apex Natural, a seller of curcumin extract who recently released a video discussing turmeric curcumin anti inflammatory properties, said "Turmeric has been used for centuries in Asian and Indian medicine for helping with inflammation issues in the body. In recent years there have many studies showing that Curcumin, which is the main component found within Turmeric, is the key chemical compound found to help with inflammation.
Curcumin only makes up about 5% of Turmeric so modern medicine is now able to formulate a concentrated turmeric extract with 95% curcumin rather than 5% to get the greater benefits from curcumin. "
How does Curcumin for inflammation for work ?
Curcumin is believed to work like a COX-2 inhibitor in the body much like Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs) work. NSAIDs are the main medical treatment for relieving inflammation in the body but can carry serious long-term side effects like gastrointestinal bleeding.
Curcumin has been tested in human studies for treatment of inflammation related ailments like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and everyday joint pain. Researchers have also been studying the use of Curcumin for targeted inflammation related conditions like coronary inflammation, skin inflammation, and areas of cancer.
Researchers are excited about the possibilities of curcumin because of its natural ability to relieve inflammation conditions without the serious side effects experienced from continued use of drugs.
Is Curcumin Extract Safe?
Turmeric is classified by the US FDA as "Generally Recognized as Safe" (GRAS) and had been ingested for 100's of years. Turmeric curcumin has been used in human studies with large dosages that resulted in no serious adverse reactions.
Where to get Curcumin Extract ?
There is a wide range of curcumin products and Apex Natural™ spokesperson offered the following comment: "When buying a curcumin extract make sure it is not generic turmeric powder which contains low curcumin. but rather the label should state that it is standardized curcumin extract. The typical highest purity is 95% curcumin. Some products include ingredients that may change the effects of curcumin so understand what you are buying."
