ou might not think of curcumin when you
think about bone health. Perhaps you
should. In this study, it was shown that adding
curcumin to the usual bone health
supplement regimen resulted in significant
improvement!
Bone loses density with age and becomes
fragile, a condition called osteopenia. In this
study, 57 healthy people with low bone
density participated in a standard
management plan with or without 1,000 mg
of curcumin per day. The plan consisted of
taking vitamins C, D, and calcium
supplements, plus regular exercise for 20
minutes, four times per week.
After 24 weeks, while the non-curcumin
group had not improved, the curcumin group
saw significant increases in bone density at
the heel, small finger, and upper jaw. Doctors
said taking curcumin along with an
appropriate lifestyle may help delay the
effects of aging on bone density.
