Abstract
Abstract:
Curcumin is a polyphenol compound widely investigated for its potential health benefits. Clinical
evidence from randomized controlled trials shows substantial positive effects in healthy individuals but
contrasting results for patients with cardio-metabolic disorders. There is growing evidence that the gut microbiota
may play a role in curcumin transformation and absorption of more bioactive compounds, suggesting
that the baseline health status (or other unmeasured variables) may explain the observed variability of the
results.
