Turmeric extract, specifically its active compound curcuminoid, has gained attention for its potential effectiveness in preventing cancer. Curcuminoid is believed to exhibit anti-cancer properties through several mechanisms of action. It is known to have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which can help combat oxidative stress and chronic inflammation – both of which are linked to cancer development. Additionally, curcuminoid has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, induce apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cells, and impede angiogenesis, the process by which tumors develop their own blood supply. Clinical studies have suggested that curcuminoid supplementation may be associated with a reduced risk of certain cancers, such as colorectal cancer, and can enhance the effectiveness of cancer treatments in some cases.
