Tumeric (Curcumin)
An
excerpt from the following article: SILYMARIN COMPLEX FOR LIVER
DISORDERS by Michael T. Murray, N.D. published in "Health World" spring
1987
Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric. Curcumin shares some of the
same effects on the liver as
silymarin and cynarin. It has demonstrated similar liver protection
activity to silymarin. Curcumin is believed to also be converted to a
choleretic compound, perhaps even caffeic acid. Curcumin's documented
choleretic effects support its historical use in treating liver and
gallbladder disorders. Like cynara extracts, curcumin has also been
shown to lower cholesterol levels.
