Curcumin (Turmeric) Curcuminoids, found in high concentrations in turmeric extract, have been primarily recognized for their "super" antioxidant properties. Curcuminoids are capable of both the prevention of free radical formation and intervention to neutralize existing free radicals.
Curcuminoids are natural plant compounds that guard the cells, tissues and organs of the body from numerous "inside" and "outside" detrimental influences. Unlike other antioxidants, which have more of a "policing effect" on such errant molecules, the turmeric curcuminoids merge with the potential free radicals before they form.
