Turmeric (Curcuma longa) Root
Golden spice taken for joint comfort. People take it for:
- Joint comfort in osteoarthritis (early evidence)
- Some fatty liver measures (early research)
- Traditional use for indigestion and arthritis
Why it works
People take it for joint comfort, especially in osteoarthritis, and traditionally for indigestion. Early research on osteoarthritis is positive, but higher-quality studies are needed before firm conclusions. Standard oral forms are likely safe for up to 2 or 3 months.
