Curcumin (turmeric) for reducing inflammation

Since PMR is a disease featuring elevated inflammation levels in the body, it seems logical to search for ways to reduce those levels. Prednisone, of course, is the main prescription drug used to curb inflammation, but diet and some supplements can also be helpful. I have had two bouts of PMR and am currently in remission, but I continue to follow a diet featuring fruits, vegetables and any other anti-inflammatory foods of which I am aware. In addition to diet, one dietary supplement appears to stand out for fighting inflammation and that is curcumin, also known as turmeric. I began taking 1,000 mg. daily of this supplement while my PMR was active and have continued to do so since I achieved remission. I believe it has been helpful both in reducing inflammation and keeping it down. Here is a link to an NIH discussion on the effects of curcumin on inflammation. I hope this is helpful and wish everyone a speedy and long-lasting remission. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8572027/
