Curcumin is an extract from the Indian spice Turmeric. I've been buying it for about a year now. The reviews sold me on it. They say things like: Better than pain medicine, works for my dog, etc.
I have to admit that it doesn't cure pain as magically as I had hoped. However, the one kind of pain that I did notice a difference in was the general body aches often associated with influenza. It really makes a difference.
My understanding is that it helps with inflammation, and inflammation is the cause of most pain. But apparently there's more to it than that. Curcumin may be helpful in preventing or treating cancer. Here's links to some scientific studies:
