Turmeric & Curcumin: The Golden Anti-Inflammatory
Curcumin is the main active compound in turmeric, responsible for its vibrant golden color. It is one of the most potent natural anti-inflammatory agents known. It works by blocking NF-κB, a master molecule that triggers genes related to inflammation. Since chronic inflammation (inflammaging) is a key driver of aging, curcumin's ability to quell this "fire" is central to its health benefits. It helps protect joints, the brain, and the cardiovascular system from inflammatory damage. However, curcumin is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb. To enhance its bioavailability, it's essential to consume it with black pepper (which contains piperine) and a source of fat.
