Curcumin is the active ingredient found in the Indian spice turmeric. Research shows it is extremely effective at treating inflammation, which is a common cause of pain. A 2012 study concluded curcumin was effective in treating pain and inflammation caused by rheumatoid arthritis, and another study from 2016 found supplementing with turmeric and thus, curcumin, significantly reduced muscle soreness and pain associated with exercise. Individuals should look for a supplement with ninety-five percent curcuminoids for the best results, and consider taking it with a few peppercorns to increase absorption.
