Curcumin Boosts Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), which is a type of growth hormone, Linked to Improved Brain Function and a Lower Risk of Brain Diseases, effective in delaying or even reversing many brain diseases and age-related decreases in brain function. Many common brain disorders have been linked to decreased levels of this hormone, including depression and Alzheimer’s disease.
Improves the function of the endothelium (lining of your blood vessels).so helps to regulate blood pressure, blood clotting, and various other factors. Reduces inflammation and oxidation (as discussed above), which play a role in heart disease as well.

Alzheimer’s Disease & Dementia
Alzheimer’s disease is a buildup of protein tangles called amyloid plaques. Studies show that curcumin can help clear these plaques. Inflammation and oxidative damage play a role in Alzheimer’s disease, and curcumin has beneficial effects on both. Curcumin has been shown to cross the blood-brain barrier- so prevents & manage the conditions
Arthritis: Curcumin – potent anti-inflammatory compound, it makes sense that it may help with arthritis.
Depression is linked to reduced levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and a shrinking hippocampus, a brain area with a role in learning and memory. Curcumin boosts BDNF levels, potentially reversing some of these changes Also boost the brain neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine
Delay Aging: Curcumin prevents Oxidation and inflammation
Curcumin helps to treat aspects of Type 1 & 2 diabetes. Reduces insulin resistance by helping insulin get into cells, perhaps on AMPK pathway that exercise also opens up. Protects beta cells, which produce insulin. Helps in Diabetes induced Erectile Dysfunction.
