Turmeric Exercise Recovery Meta-AnalysisBackground Turmeric may alleviate exercise-induced muscle soreness (delayed onset muscle soreness) and muscular function loss due to the strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of its active compounds, the curcuminoids.2Schönenberger KA (2025)A randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover clinical trial to evaluate the effect of a turmeric formulation on muscle soreness and function recovery in moderately active adults.
Turmeric Exercise Recovery Meta-AnalysisThe primary objective of this trial was to evaluate the effect of a highly bioavailable turmeric formulation on delayed onset muscle soreness in male adults.2Schönenberger KA (2025)A randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover clinical trial to evaluate the effect of a turmeric formulation on muscle soreness and function recovery in moderately active adults.
Turmeric Exercise Recovery Meta-AnalysisNational dietary guidelines from several countries (eg, the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia) recommend the consumption of spices to lower sodium intake.The National Institutes of Health (NIH)–funded Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) healthy eating plan replaces salt with spices and herbs as a means to lower blood pressure without medication.3Diacova Tatiana (2026)Spices Beyond Antioxidants: From the Gut to the Brain
