Key Takeaways:

Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It can be as effective as NSAIDs for issues like joint pain and arthritis, without the negative side effects. Curcumin may also benefit brain health, metabolic health, and the immune system.
To get therapeutic benefits, it's best to take curcumin in supplement form rather than just using turmeric in cooking. The supplement should contain an extract that concentrates the curcuminoids. Absorption is enhanced by including black pepper extract (piperine) and healthy fats.
