Curcumin for Arthritis and Tendonitis

Posted on April 25, 2016 by Steffen Toates • 1 Comment

Curcumin is the active ingredient in the Indian spice turmeric. With almost 3000 preclinical investigations, it is one of the best investigated botanical constituents in the biomedical literature. It has been shown to induce a range of positive effects, from lowering cholesterol to controlling blood glucose [1], but today we will concentrate on its application for osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and tendon injury.

“I first attended due to pain in my lower back that I had had for over a year. It was my last resource, as I had tried a lot of things before but it was definitely the best thing for me. I felt listened to and taken seriously and I’m now more or less pain free. I can now do all the things I like again, like dancing and walking. That’s just great!
