Abstract

It is with great interest that we read 2 recent complementary publications that explored the potential of curcumin to promote health through improved gastrointestinal function ( 1 ) and anti-inflammatory mechanisms (2 ). These articles are timely, following positive results in a trial investigating cognitive benefits of curcumin by Small et al. ( 3 ) suggesting larger trials are warranted to investigate the pleiotropic activity of bio-enhanced versions of curcumin as a therapeutic strategy in the management of age-related neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer disease (AD).
