Memory and Brain Amyloid and Tau Effects of a Bioavailable Form of Curcumin in Non-Demented Adults: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled 18-Month Trial

Preco je to zaujimave: studia kurkuminu ktora ukazuje pozitivne kognitivne efekty napriek tomu ze nebola robena v Indii.

This is the first long-term (18 months) double-blind, placebo controlled trial of a bioavailable form of curcumin (Theracurmin® containing 90 mg of curcumin twice daily) in non-demented adults.
• We found that daily oral Theracurmin led to significant memory and attention benefits.
• FDDNP-PET scans performed pre- and post-treatment suggested that behavioral and cognitive benefits are associated with decreases in plaque and tangle accumulation in brain regions modulating mood and memory.
• Curcumin's cognitive benefits may stem from its anti-inflammatory and/or anti-amyloid brain effects.
