Abstract in brief

This systematic review explores the safety and anti-inflammatory properties of curcumin, a bioactive compound in turmeric derived from the root of Curcuma longa, which has been traditionally used in Ayurveda for various medicinal purposes.
Research included in the review spans in vitro, animal, and human studies, showing that curcumin is generally safe even at high doses (up to 8000 mg daily in a phase 1 trial) and demonstrating potential anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting multiple molecules involved in inflammation.
Overall, the findings support the safety of curcumin and suggest it may have beneficial anti-inflammatory properties, although more research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms and therapeutic potential.
