Evidence Based — Efficacy

The efficacy of Theracurmin® is supported by various studies, with over 25 clinical studies done in humans including in osteoarthritis, muscle recovery, dementia, liver function, cardiovascular, COPD, anti-Inflammatory and several scientific articles such as Pharmacokinetics, bioavailability, oxidation, vascular endothelial function and central arterial hemodynamics. More were presented at prestigious medical and scientific conventions such as American Heart Association, International Sports and Exercise Nutrition and International Society for Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods. Theracurmin® is a formidable product that offers an exceptional track record of evidence proving its efficacy and reliability.

Improvement of Muscle Fatigue

Study Protocol

Study Design: Two arms, crossover single-blind trial

Subjects: 14 healthy men(age: 25±2.3 years old)

Exercise: 50 maximal isokinetic (120°/s) eccentric contractions of the elbow flexors of one arm on an isokinetic dynamometer.

Intake:
THERACURMIN® 150 mg x 2, 1h before and 12 hours after exercise

The THERACURMIN® ingestion group decreased MVC torque less and recovered faster and peak serum CK activity was less than the placebo group.

The objective of this study is to examine the effect of curcumin on the changes in muscle damage markers after eccentric exercises. The result showed that curcumin reduced the muscle soreness or fatigue after period of strenuous exercise. This translates to faster recovery thus a shorter period of muscle pain, so people can go back to doing what they love doing most.




Effect on Muscle Fatigue

MVC: Maximal Voluntary Contraction
CK: Creatine Kinase
VAS: Visual Analogue Scale
ROM: Range of Motion



Improvement of Muscle Soreness

Study Protocol

Study Design: Two arms, Randomized, single-blind parallel trial

Subjects: 24 healthy men(age: 25±2.3 years old)

Exercise:30 maximal isokinetic (120°/s) eccentric contractions of the elbow flexors of one arm on an isokinetic dynamometer.

Intake:
THERACURMIN® 180mg, 4 day after eccentric exercise

THERACURMIN® ingestion improved the range of motion (ROM) and muscle soreness.
