TURMERIC
TURMERIC AS ANTIOXIDANT
In the bright yellow pigment of Turmeric are curcuminoids
which are antioxidants with the property of scavenging the
free radical nitric oxide. The action of Turmeric, it is
suggested is not only in blocking nitric oxide directly
but also the enzyme that produces it. Curcuminoids also
appear to have a role in attacking invading micro-organisms.
