What are the pharmacological effects of curcumin? Turmeric is a perennial herb belonging to the genus Turmeric of the Zingiberaceae family. It is a traditional Chinese medicine. Its medicinal parts are dry rhizomes, warm in nature and bitter in taste. Curcumin is the most important chemical component of turmeric to exert its pharmacological effects. It has pharmacological effects such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenesis and anti-tumor, and has no obvious adverse reactions.
Pharmacological effects of curcumin
1. Cardiovascular protection
Curcumin has been proven to be a very good antioxidant, its antioxidant capacity is about 10 times that of vitamin E, so it can effectively reduce the chance of LDL-cholesterol in blood vessels being oxidized, and reduce excessive oxidation. LDL gets stuck in the walls of blood vessels, reducing the chance of atherosclerosis. In addition, curcumin also has the function of inhibiting platelet aggregation, which makes the flow of the whole blood vessel relatively smooth; in general, curcumin contributes very much to cardiovascular protection. If you want to take high concentrations of curcumin, you should be very careful about the problem of blood coagulation. If you only eat curry, the concentration of fierce curcumin is small, so you don’t need to worry.
2. Delay Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease, also known as Alzheimer’s disease, is mainly due to problems with nerve conduction signals in the brain, and why is there a problem with brain nerve conduction? It may be that amyloid beta is deposited in the synapses of the cranial nerves, or Gang for the long-term oxidative stress caused brain cells to atrophy and research has confirmed that curcumin can inhibit the accumulation of beta-amyloid protein to form amyloid plaques, and the excellent antioxidant capacity of curcumin can protect brain cells from free radical attacks. Therefore, curcumin is an important phytonutrient for delaying Alzheimer’s disease or preventing the deterioration of the disease, which can encourage the elderly to eat curry regularly or supplement curcumin
3. Anti-cancer, anti-cancer
Many animal experiments have found that curcumin can inhibit the carcinogenic process induced by chemical carcinogens; in addition, curcumin can also inhibit the growth rate of tumor cells; some experiments have also found that curcumin can selectively kill cancer cells. Therefore, curcumin currently has significant research progress in both the prevention of cell carcinogenesis and the treatment of cancer. Curcumin will be the future star of anti-cancer and anti-cancer.
