Orlando, FL — April 08, 2016 — The popularity of natural alternatives has been increasing over the years. This is not just due to the side effects associated with the use of medications, but also with the growing interest of scientists and experts on natural medicine. One of the most popular natural remedies nowadays is turmeric.
A study finds turmeric to be effective for reducing pain linked with muscle soreness. Turmeric contains curcumin, which is a phytochemical thought to be responsible for the spice’s therapeutic benefits.
Curcumin has long been believed to be effective infighting a range of medical conditions such as hypertension, heart disease, and cognitive decline. It is more popularized by the antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties it contains.
The European Journal of Applied Physiology published a double-blind, randomized-controlled study in March 2015. It was revealed that curcumin has the potential ability to decrease the pain linked with delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). It also aids in muscle recovery among individuals who are physically active.
The study researchers aimed at determining whether curcumin could have an impact on DOMS and single-leg jump performance following unaccustomed heavy eccentric exercise. There were 17 male volunteers who consumed 2.5 grams of curcumin two times in a day.
While in the trial period, the participants’ muscle swelling, post-exercise limb pain, and some other indicators of inflammation and muscle damage were monitored.
According to the researchers, curcumin supplements were able to induce moderate to high reductions in pain triggered by gluteal stretches, single-leg squats, and squat jumps. Curcumin also reduced creatine kinase activity. Increase in creatine kinase in the bloodstream is link with muscle damage.
The researchers also found that curcumin has significantly helped the participants performed better in single-leg jumps. It is believed that these benefits are improvements are due to the anti-inflammatory benefits of curcumin.
Turmeric has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. This medicinal spice is believed to fight a myriad of medical conditions and improve overall health.
It is a popular kitchen ingredient that adds color and texture to dishes and beverages. However, it is more popular in its ability to deliver miraculously powerful healing benefits.
Today, people can use curcumin supplements to take advantage of the phytochemical’s therapeutic properties. Supplements are thought to have high concentrations of curcumin. There are also supplements that are believed to be more effective since they contain a bioavailability-enhancing ingredient.
Curcumin has low bioavailability, and this means its absorption inside the body is limited. There are curcumin supplements that contain BioPerine, which is black pepper extract and a bioavailability-enhancing ingredient (www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-BioPerine-Pepper-Extract/dp/B00VSVKJ8I/).
