Yes apparently Turmeric is, or Circumin its active ingredient. However I have not been able to obtain any extract here yet and the amount used to obtain any kind of benefit in rat studies to me seems excessive - they use like 200 mgs per kg, which for me would end up being about 10grams - not nice.
I used to eat HEAPS of curry though with lots of tumeric and it never made a bit of difference.
Quercetin is SO powerful as a COX2 inhibitor so I just use that. I know it works because I had a botched tooth extraction that has left me with part of a tooth still embedded. Every few weeks it becomes inflamed and sore and gives me the worst headache. I used to take ibuprofen with codiene for it, and that would settle it down.
That's how I got onto Qercetin researching for a better way to manage that inflammation. It works BETTER than ibuprofen/Codeine for that.In animal experiments Quercetin has been found to be more potent as a COX2 than Celebrex and Vioxx. The pharmaceutical establishment DEFINITLEY does not want people to know about Quercetin... they are studying it to try develop a synthetic analog that they can sell for hundreds of dollars a bottle. I've seen the studies and it has shown 95% efficacy in treating various cancers, blood pressure problems, hayfever, etc etc. No ones really caught on that it is also a powerful MAOI and COMT inhibitor yet though, except in out of the way places on the net like here.
Rambling again! Sorry.
