Curcumin, the active compound extracted from turmeric root, is touted for its ability to mediate the body's natural response to physical, chemical, and emotional stressors. In particular, if normal oxidative stress and inflammatory pathways get out of balance a whole host of health issues may result. Curcumin may support health in a wide variety of tissues in the body as it supports normal inflammatory balance and tissue protection via its antioxidant properties.
