Turmeric Powder

1) Oxidation Resistance:

The antioxidant effect of curcumin is mainly reflected in scavenging active oxygen free radicals, inhibiting lipid peroxidation, increasing superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH- PX) and other activities, and has a significant inhibitory effect on lecithin lipid peroxidation and OH-induced DNA oxidative damage.

According to a well-known American journal (J. Am. Chem. Soc.), the antioxidant capacity of natural curcumin is 2.33 times that of bioflavonoids, 1.6 times that of vitamin E and 2.75 times that of vitamin C.

2) Anti-inflammatory and Joint Protection:

Curcumin has great anti-inflammatory properties, very similar to the effects of NSAIDs. Curcumin plays a huge role in reducing pro-inflammatory factors and increasing the release of anti-inflammatory factors, so as to achieve the effect of controlling inflammation in chronic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, type Ⅰ diabetes, myocarditis, systemic erythema Symptoms of diseases such as lupus and polycystic ovary syndrome.

3)Improve the Body's Immunity:

Curcumin can promote the body to produce more "endogenous antimicrobial peptides" and "antimicrobial proteins", thus helping the immune system to resist various bacterial, viral and fungal infections.

4) Inhibit Tumor Cells, Prevent Cancer & Fight Cancer:

Curcumin can regulate dozens of targets such as inflammatory factors, tumor transfer factors, growth factors, protein kinases, and oncoproteins, reverse tumor progression, reduce tumor markers—carcinoembryonic antigen in blood; reduce side effects during chemotherapy for malignant tumors; The number of intestinal polyps in colon cancer-susceptible population has special effects on the treatment and recovery of colon cancer, gastric cancer, breast cancer and other cancers.

5) Reverse Liver Damage:

Improve the activity of "alcohol dehydrogenase" and "acetaldehyde dehydrogenase", improve the body's ability to decompose acetaldehyde, thereby inhibiting the increase in the concentration of acetaldehyde in the body after drinking, helping the liver detoxify, and reducing the burden on the liver; in addition, curcumin also It has special anti-oxidation and inhibition of NF-kB transcription factors, so it can repair liver cells, restore liver function, and prevent various toxins from damaging the liver.

6) Enhance Memory:

Curcumin can significantly reduce the synthesis of proteins in areas of the human brain that control memory and emotional functions. A new study published in the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry shows that turmeric may improve people's memory by nearly 30% and relieve depression.

7) Prevent the Occurrence of Alzheimer's Disease:

The main pathological feature of Alzheimer's disease is the accumulation of β-amyloid in the frontal lobe of the brain, which causes the loss and apoptosis of brain nerve cell connections. American studies have found that curcumin has anti-β-amyloid formation, aggregation and Facilitates clearance, thus becoming a promising multi-target bioactive drug for the treatment of AD.

8) Gallbladder:

Turmeric extract: curcumin, volatile oil, curcumone, zingiberene, borneol and sesquiterpene alcohol, etc., all have choleretic effect, can increase the production and secretion of bile, and can promote the contraction of gallbladder, and the effect of curcumin is the strongest

9) Lowering Blood Fat and Anti-atherosclerosis:

Curcumin can reduce the level of total cholesterol and triglyceride (TG) in the blood, increase the level of apolipoprotein A, reduce the lipid peroxidation in the blood and liver, and promote the response of the liver and adrenal gland to low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and lipid. The metabolism of protein (a) increases the excretion of LDL by the gallbladder, inhibits the uptake of LDL by the spleen, and reduces the content of LDL and lipoprotein (a) in the blood, thus playing the role of lowering blood fat and anti-atherosclerosis.

10) Improve Heart Function:

Curcumin can reduce the ischemic changes induced by isoproterenol in the myocardium, improve the hypoxia tolerance of the myocardium, and have a certain protective effect on the ischemic injury of the myocardium.

11) Prevent HIV Response:

Curcumin has antiviral activity, mainly by inhibiting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) long terminal repeat (HIV LTR) activity, inhibiting virus replication-related protease (PR) and integrase (IN), inhibiting histone acetyltransferase ( HAT) acetylates HIV histones and trans-acting factors (tat), thereby inhibiting HIV.

12) Pigments:

As a natural yellow pigment, curcumin is also widely used in the field of coloring. It has the characteristics of strong tinting power, bright color, strong thermal stability, safety and non-toxicity. As a natural pigment, it is widely used in foods such as cakes, candies, beverages, ice cream, sausages and stewed products, and is considered to be the most valuable for development. It is one of the edible natural pigments in the world, and it is also one of the safe natural pigments stipulated by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
