Curcumin might help in Alzheimer's disease treatment

Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia, accounting for up to 70% of all cases. While there are treatments for some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's, there is still no cure. That is why it is critical to prevent it from occurring in the first place.

Curcumin has been demonstrated to cross the blood-brain barrier and has been shown to lead to various improvements in the pathological process of Alzheimer’s disease. Inflammation and oxidative damage are known to have a role in Alzheimer's disease, and curcumin possesses anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. A buildup of protein tangles known as amyloid plaques is also a crucial feature of Alzheimer's disease. Curcumin has been shown in studies to help remove these plaques. Curcumin's ability to reduce or even reverse Alzheimer's disease progression in people is currently unknown, and further research is required.
