Reduced Inflammatory and Muscle Damage Biomarkers following Oral Supplementation with Bioavailable Curcumin

Conclusions Collectively, the findings demonstrated that consumption of curcumin reduced biological inflammation, but not quadriceps muscle soreness, during recovery after EIMD. The observed improvements in biological inflammation may translate to faster recovery and improved functional capacity during subsequent exercise sessions. General Significance These findings support the use of oral curcumin supplementation to reduce the symptoms of EIMD. The next logical step is to evaluate this further the efficacy of in an inflammatory clinical disease model.
