Curcumin

At Complete Health, our passion and expertise includes guidance on the potential benefits of dietary supplements.  Curcumin deserves a special mention due to its ability to lower inflammation and impact on so many areas of the body, including cognitive/brain, immune, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal/joint, liver, and gut.  Bioavailability matters and varies greatly among curcumin supplements, and then perhaps just as important is looking at human studies reflecting improvement in specific health outcomes.
