The study found that taking Curcuma longa extract (CLE), which contains anti-inflammatory compounds, helped overweight middle-aged adults reduce body weight, BMI, and inflammation markers like C-reactive protein and complement component 3 over 12 weeks.
Participants who took CLE also reported better mental health and mood, specifically less anger and hostility, compared to those on a placebo.
Overall, the research suggests that CLE could be beneficial for reducing chronic inflammation and improving mental well-being in overweight adults.]
