Es gibt kaum eine andere Heilpflanze, zu der so viele Studien existieren wie zu Kurkuma bzw. dessen Inhaltsstoff Curcumin. Dabei werden diverse Indikationsgebiete aufgegriffen und untersucht, welchen gesundheitlichen Nutzen Curcumin erbringen kann. Die Seite „mitunsgesund.info“ gibt hier eine nützliche Übersicht, in welchen Bereichen die Studienlage besonders aussagekräftig ist. Darüber hinaus werden beinahe täglich neue Studien, teilweise Labor- aber auch des Öfteren Humanstudien veröffentlicht. Anbei finden Sie eine Auflistung einiger relevanter wissenschaftlicher Studien, auf deren Aussagen sich diese Internetplattform stützt. Abgerufen werden können alle Studien auf der Datenbank Pubmed. Eingegeben werden sollten hier die Begriffe „Curcumin“, „Turmeric“ oder „Curcuma longa„. Anbei finden Sie die wichtigsten Studien, auf die sich die Aussagen dieser Website stützt.
