Curcumin is a chemical compound belonging to the group of polyphenols, which is the main active ingredient of turmeric (Curcuma longa) – a spice with a characteristic yellow color, widely used in Asian cuisine.

Curcumin is known for its numerous health-promoting properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral and anticancer effects. Studies have shown that it can support the treatment of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, as well as neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Due to its low bioavailability, curcumin is often combined with piperine (contained in black pepper), which increases its absorption. Regular consumption of curcumin can support the health of the immune and digestive systems and reduce symptoms associated with inflammation in the body.
