Science Confirms Turmeric As Effective As 10 Drugs

Therefore, it can be favorably compared to various conventional medications, such as:

Prozac/Fluoxetine & Imipramine (antidepressants): Curcumin has been found to be more effective than both these drugs in reducing depressive behavior in an animal model.

Anti-inflammatory Drugs: One 2004 study found that it is a better alternative to drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, sulindac, phenylbutazone, naproxen, indomethacin, diclofenac, dexamethasone, celecoxib, and tamoxifen, as it offers more powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative activity against tumor cells.

Aspirin (blood thinner): Researchers have confirmed that this spice has antiplatelet and prostacyclin modulating effects compared to aspirin, so it is useful in the treatment of vascular thrombosis and in the case of an anti-arthritis therapy.

Metformin (diabetes drug): Scientists have discovered that curcumin might be very useful in treating diabetes, as it activates AMPK (which increases glucose uptake) and suppresses gluconeogenic gene expression (which suppresses glucose production in the liver) in hepatoma cells. They even found that it is 500 times to 100,000 times more potent than metformin in activating AMPK and its downstream target acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC).
