Curcumin is the primary bioactive ingredient in turmeric that belongs to the ginger family. It is the most potent component in turmeric, although only 3% in constitution. Its chemical composition lends the yellow colour to turmeric. With multifarious uses it is commercially available as a natural food flavouring and colouring agent, herbal medicine, cosmetic component, etc.

Curcumin’s anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties are known for curing inflammation by penetrating deep into the molecules. The curcumin IV therapy is an extremely popular practice in alternative medicine and Ayurveda.

Curcumin FAQS

  • Extensive clinical cancer research suggests curcumin IV therapy to be one of the most promising therapies. Curcumin treatment has a multitude of benefits including possible cancer treatment capabilities, slowing down tumor and cancer cells, and having an anti-inflammatory effect.

    Curcumin is obtained from the rhizome of the medicinal plant turmeric (curcuma longa) which belongs to the family of ginger plants. The natural substance has an extremely diverse potential and can be applied to the therapy of numerous diseases. It also contains valuable secondary plant substances (polyphenols).

    Even in low concentrations curcumin acts phototoxic (to bacteria), proapoptotic, anti-inflammatory, immune stimulating, radioprotective, chemoprotective, antitumoral, antimetastatic, anti-angiogenetic, radio-sensitizing and chemo-sensitizing.

  • In general, IV curcumin therapy provides a direct and faster effect compared to curcumin taken as a dietary supplement. Through an IV drip, it can easily bypass the digestive system and be directly absorbed into the bloodstream. With oral administration, it takes longer to take effect as it is poorly absorbed and metabolized in the liver and intestine. Although the exact time frame of IV administration can vary from patient to patient it still is still a beneficial treatment.
