What is Curcumin?
Curcumin is a highly potent chemical found primarily in turmeric, a flowering plant of the ginger family that commonly grows in India and other parts of East Asia. Because of its distinct yellow pigment, curcumin is most often used as a dietary supplement, in cosmetics, and as a flavoring and dye for many colored foods.
Tumeric, the main source of curcumin, has been used for thousands of years in parts of Asia because of its medicinal properties. Mostly, turmeric has been added to foods and beverages like curries, stews, and teas, and in medicines like antiseptic.
What are the Benefits of Curcumin?
Tumeric is considered a superfood because of its host of health benefits, and curcumin is a large part of that. Curcumin’s main health benefits are that it reduces inflammation and increases the levels of antioxidants in the body.
Antioxidants are particles that prevent cell damage caused by free radicals, and they also lead to a better, more healthy immune system. Curcumin has also been shown to reduce LDL-cholesterol, blood glucose, and blood pressure is possible.
Additionally, curcumin provides the following health benefits:
- Improved blood vessel function
- Reduced risk for a heart attack
- Improvement of symptoms associated with depression and anxiety
- Decreased pain caused by arthritis
- Reduce blood sugar,
- Reduce tumor, fungal, and bacterial growth.
Does Curcumin Have Side Effects?
There are no negative side effects associated with curcumin if it is taken as recommended. Studies have shown that adults can take up to 8 grams of curcumin and other curcuminoids without experiencing serious adverse effects. However, long-term studies that are more comprehensive in their assessments are needed. However, at higher doses, some minor side effects can pop up. The side effects people are most likely to see are nausea, headaches, and gastrointestinal complaints, and diarrhea.
That being said, if you typically don’t eat foods with turmeric but you want to add curcumin into your diet, supplements are considered safe and no adverse side effects have been reported at low doses.
Is Curcumin Safe to Use for Hangovers?
The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of curcumin help the body fight off hangover symptoms that are the result of a night of heavy drinking. Once it’s combined with vitamins like B, C, D, E vitamins and other nutrients like milk thistle, CoQ10, and taurine, your hangover symptoms won’t stand a chance.
