Curcumin prevents atherosclerosis

Curcumin protects the cardiovascular system multidirectionally, acting directly on the cause of systemic disorders. It manifests its antioxidant activity through its ability to neutralize free oxygen radicals and peroxides, inhibit the peroxidation of lipids and low-density lipoproteins (LDL), thereby preventing the formation of atherosclerotic lesions. In addition, it improves the production of prostacyclin PGI2, which inhibits the clumping (aggregation) of platelets, has a diastolic effect on blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. This remarkable compound counteracts myocardial ischemia and reduces post-infarction effects by reducing xanthine oxidase and myeloperoxidase activity, free radical generation and lipid peroxidation. At the same time, it increases the activity of antioxidant enzymes, i.e. SOD (superoxide dismutase) GPx (selenocysteine-containing glutathione peroxidase), glutathione S-transferase and catalase.

Curcumin against cancer

Curcumin, or turmeric's yellow pigment, is a particular ingredient that shows high anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential.

Extensive scientific research has proven that curcumin clearly slows or completely inhibits the growth of cancer cells. What's more, it improves the effectiveness of radiotherapy and chemotherapy here, or makes it possible to use lower doses in these therapies. Its effect is particularly strong when combined with other antioxidants such as quercetin.
