Curcumin (Curcuma longa) is the principal curcuminoid (natural phenols) found in the spice Turmeric which is a member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae). Turmeric is used in curries and other spicy dishes from India, Asia, and the Middle East and gives curry its characteristic yellow colour. Like many herbal remedies, it was first used as a food and later medicinal qualities were discovered. Turmeric has been used historically as a component of Indian Ayurvedic medicine since 1900 BC to treat a wide variety of ailments. Research has identified curcumin as being responsible for most of the biological activity of turmeric.

Over the centuries, this spice has been used as a pain relieving, anti-inflammatory agent to relieve pain and inflammation in the skin and muscles. It has served as a treatment for jaundice, menstrual difficulties, haematuria, haemorrhage, colic, digestive issues and flatulence. In modern times, research has focused on Curcumin's antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, antimicrobial properties, and on its use in cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal disorders, and as a treatment for the liver.

Due to its colour, it is used as a food colouring in a wide variety of foods such as mustard, margarine, processed cheese, cakes, curry powder, soft drinks and sweets. As a food additive, its E number is E100.

Commercial capsules of curcumin contain piperine, a compound found in pepper which aids absorption of curcumin into the blood stream.

The recommended dosage is 400-600mg of curcumin, 1-3 times daily.
