Introduction

Curcumin, the active ingredient in Turmeric gummies supplements, has been shown to improve some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's and dementia. However, this research was done on mice and not humans. While it may be a natural treatment for these conditions, there are better medications available if you or someone you love is suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's disease.

Yes, it is supported by research, and it seems to work.

A study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease found that curcumin was effective at reducing the buildup of plaques in mice with Alzheimer's. The study also found that when given to mice before any symptoms of dementia or Alzheimer's developed, it could prevent those symptoms from ever occurring at all.

As for how this type of treatment might work on humans: "The brain is very similar between mouse and man," said Dr. Gary Small, director of UCLA’s Longevity Center and author of The Memory Bible: An Innovative Strategy for Keeping Your Brain Young (yes, you read that correctly). "There are thousands of compounds that cannot be tested in humans because they have toxic side effects," he explained. "But with curcumin, we know it has low toxicity and there is an enormous amount of data already available about its safety."

It has been shown to improve some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's, including memory loss and confusion.

There is a lot of evidence that curcumin can improve some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's, including memory loss and confusion.

• It may improve memory. In one study, people who took 1000 mg per day for 12 weeks improved their short-term memory more than those who took a placebo (a sugar pill). However, the improvements weren't huge—and there were no changes in long-term memory or other cognitive functions.
• It may improve clarity of thought. People who took Curcumin gummies supplements had less depression and anxiety than those who didn't take it. They also had better moods overall after taking curcumin for 12 weeks compared to before they started taking curcumin.
• It may help with communication skills (speaking clearly and understanding others) if you have dementia caused by Alzheimer's disease or other illnesses that affect your thinking ability (such as Parkinson's disease). In one study done on people with mild cognitive impairment caused by Alzheimer's disease, those who took 1800 mg/day of curcumin every day for 12 weeks showed improvements in these areas compared to those taking placebos over this same period time; however, there was no difference between groups when it came to moderate cognitive impairment or severe dementia severity scores.[1]

While the curcumin may be a natural treatment, if you have Alzheimer's the study that studied it was done on mice and the curcumin was administered through injection. So don't go thinking that your local supplement store sells a bottle of "magic" formula that will cure Alzheimer's disease

However, if you are interested in adding Turmeric Gummies to your diet for its anti-inflammatory properties and other health benefits (which I highly recommend) then there is no harm in doing so!
