Abstract

The most active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin. In addition to using turmeric as a spice to improve the taste, aroma, and color of foods, it also has several health benefits. Considering the very beneficial effects of this plant polyphenol in scientific studies, the use of curcumin as a natural, inexpensive, and safe dietary supplement is gaining popularity. The present review summarizes the trials conducted in the Middle East using curcumin on different aspects of human health and conditions. © 2024 selection and editorial matter, Victor R.
