Curcumin – Prävention

Curcumin weist ein breites Spektrum an Wirkungen auf und zeigt vielversprechende Eigenschaften für die Prävention und mögliche Behandlung verschiedener Erkrankungen wie beispielsweise Tumorerkrankungen, Allergien, Autoimmunerkrankungen, Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen, Diabetes mellitus, Arthrose, Reizdarmsyndrom (RDS) und chronisch entzündliche Darmerkrankungen (CED) [1-6]. Die molekularen Wirkmechanismen von Curcumin sind mittlerweile gut erforscht. Viele seiner gesundheitlichen Effekte lassen sich auf die Stärkung des antioxidativen Systems, die Entzündungshemmung und/oder die Modulation des Immunsystems zurückführen.

Curcumin in der Prävention:

• Alzheimer-Demenz [7]
• Diabetes mellitus Typ 2 [8, 9]
• Entzündlichen Erkrankungen [10]
• Metabolischem Syndrom [11]
• Migräne [12]
• Myalgie (Muskelschmerzen) [13-15]
