ABSTRACT

Curcumin is one of the main active ingredients of roots or rhizomes of curcuma longa. The roots are found to be medicinally valuable.[1] The molecules has many potent therapeutic activities like antioxidant, ant-inflammatory, ant0icancer, antibacterial, wound healing, anti-viral, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective. It may help in the treatment of inflammation and muscle pain brought on by exercise, improving recuperation and performance in athletes.[2] Additionally, those without medical diagnoses may benefit from a very low dosage of the complex.[3] Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties are responsible for the majority of these advantages.[5] Curcumin's low bioavailability, which seems to be mostly caused by poor absorption, fast metabolism, and rapid elimination, prevents it from providing the health advantages when consumed alone.[6] Bioavailability can be increased by a number of factors.
