Many people complain of increased joint pain and soreness during the colder months (although there’s little scientific explanation for this).
Curcumin is an orange-hued compound found in the spice turmeric, one that is commonly used in Ayurvedic medicine for its powerful anti-inflammatory properties.
A recent study in the Journal of Alternative & Complementary Medicine found that a daily dose of 2 grams of curcumin in people suffering from osteoarthritis resulted in reports of reduced pain and increased mobility.
In addition to soothing sore joints, curcumin is a potent antioxidant, brain health supporter, and it strengthens the vascular system by supporting blood vessel lining.
