Curcumin 95 is a standardized extract of curcuminoid complex extracted from the South Indian spice turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn.). Research supports the wide-ranging health benefits of curcuminoids, especially curcumin, including antioxidant effects, modulation of the production of inflammatory signal molecules (prostanoids and leukotrienes), and inhibition of the growth of cells which have not properly differentiated or whose growth pattern is abnormal. Curcumin is also a key botanical extract in traditional Ayurvedic medicine.
