In fact, Curcumin exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, antiviral, antimicrobial and neurotrophic activity and therefore holds promise as a therapeutic agent to prevent and treat several disorders. However, a major barrier to curcumin’s clinical efficacy is its poor bioavailability.

And as mentioned above, Curcumin is only around 3% of powdered turmeric weight. This means trying to take enough Curcumin to have an effect, is very difficult. When u take them, due to its bioavailability, u need to take 1000x more, not only is this more expensive, but it puts strain on your body, kidney, liver, heart, which can lead to supplement toxicity.
