What is the recommended dosage for Curcumin?

General: 500-2,000 mg/day of enhanced bioavailability form; Cognitive Support: 90-180 mg/day Theracurmin or equivalent

What are the side effects of Curcumin?

Potential side effects include: Gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, diarrhea), Headache, Skin rash (rare), Yellow staining of teeth with powder forms.

Curcumin is the primary bioactive compound in turmeric (Curcuma longa). It has potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and has been studied for its potential neuroprotective effects, including supporting brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels and reducing neuroinflammation.

What dosage of Curcumin has been used in brain health studies?

Cognitive studies have used 500 mg to 2,000 mg of curcumin daily. Bioavailability-enhanced formulations (such as those with piperine, phospholipids, or nanoparticle technology) are preferred because standard curcumin is poorly absorbed. Consult your healthcare provider for guidance.

What are the potential side effects of Curcumin?

Curcumin is generally well tolerated but may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, or diarrhea at high doses. It may interact with blood-thinning medications, diabetes drugs, and iron absorption. People with gallbladder disease should exercise caution. Consult your doctor.

About

Curcumin is the primary bioactive compound in turmeric with potent anti-neuroinflammatory and neuroprotective properties. Enhanced bioavailability forms cross the blood-brain barrier and may reduce amyloid-beta aggregation. A UCLA 18-month RCT found bioavailable curcumin improved memory test performance and reduced brain amyloid/tau PET signals in non-demented adults.

How It Works

Crosses the blood-brain barrier in enhanced forms; binds to amyloid-beta plaques reducing aggregation; reduces tau phosphorylation; exhibits potent anti-neuroinflammatory effects; stimulates hippocampal neurogenesis via BDNF upregulation.
