Abstract in brief

  • The study reviews 15 randomized controlled trials involving 1621 participants to evaluate how Curcuma longa extract and curcumin can help with osteoarthritis (OA), finding that they can reduce pain, improve joint function, and are similarly safe compared to placebo and NSAIDs.
  • Curcuma longa extract and curcumin without other treatments have effects comparable to NSAIDs in reducing OA symptoms, but with fewer adverse events, suggesting they may be a safer alternative.
  • The evidence supports using Curcuma longa extract and curcumin for more than 12 weeks for better results, making them potentially effective and safer supplement options for OA management.]

La cúrcuma tiene efectos similares a los AINES sobre la osteoartritis sin que te chinguen el hígado o el estómago. Revisión sistemática y metanálisis. Yo digo que si son mejores. https://t.co/Z6mMMLAY73 https://t.co/dEYH6u4l2S
