Turmeric
Studies show that turmeric can help prevent or treat virtually any condition where inflammation plays a role. Curcuminoids, active constituents of turmeric, support a proper inflammatory response and help modulate inflammatory chemicals. They also help curb activation of transcription factor NF-kB (NF-kB is chronically active in autoimmune and inflammatory issues). When shopping for turmeric, make sure to look for a highly absorbable, standardized extract, such as Meriva curcumin that uses phytosomes, healthy fats that optimize absorption.
