Since it is the primary source of the naturally occurring polyphenol curcumin, turmeric, a spice with long-standing medical benefits, has drawn attention from both the scientific and medical communities and foodies. It helps in the management of anxiety, arthritis, metabolic syndrome, oxidative and inflammatory diseases, and hyperlipidemia. It could also aid in the control of inflammation and muscular pain brought on by exercise, improving recuperation and function in those who lead active lives. Furthermore, individuals without medical diagnoses may benefit from the complex at very modest dosages. The majority of these advantages are related to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Because of curcumin's low bioavailability—which appears to be mostly caused by poor absorption, fast metabolism, and rapid elimination—ingesting it by itself does not provide the related health advantages. Numerous elements have the capacity to boost bioavailability. For instance, it has been demonstrated that piperine, the main active ingredient in black pepper, increases bioavailability by 2000% once it forms an association with curcumin. When mixed with boosting substances, curcumin offers a variety of health advantages. The aim of this study is to present a concise summary of the extensive body of studies on the health advantages of curcumin.
