Resveratrol has recently garnered much public attention for its purported ability to delay aging at the cellular level. While most research to date has focused on in-vitro testing, resveratrol does appear to offer much promise in enhancing health for many. At the same time, many natural components are being studied for similar health enhancing benefits. Turmeric, a common culinary spice associated with middle eastern and asian cuisine, is one of many herbs being investigated. The active ingredient of turmeric is curcumin which has long been known to be a potent anti-inflammatory and possibly and anti-cancer agent. There also appears to be some synergy between resveratrol and turmeric. While both have similar actions the combination of the two appears more beneficial than the individual compounds.

Turmeric (Curcumin) has traditionally been thought of as an anti-inflammatory. Recent clinical studies indicate that a combination of resveratrol and turmeric are effective in treating stomach cancer. Not only did this combination inhibit the growth of cancer cells, it also caused live cancer cell to die and fostered processes in the human body to deter the onset of inflammation and cancer. Reference Pubmed study’838927.

Effective treatments for hair loss have been elusive. That’s why the combination of resveratrol and turmeric appears especially promising. An Italian company recently filed a patent for a hair loss treatment using, among other things, resveratrol and turmeric as the active ingredients. Two mechanisms appear to be a work. Potent anti-inflammatory properties and the purported stimulation of nerve cells in the follicle. A Neuropeptide called P substance is released in the hair follicle as a result of the treatment which is in part responsible for the treatments success. A quick online search reveals much discussion about this success or lack thereof of this treatment.

Another study (Pubmed.gov study’549505) have linked a combination of resveratrol and curcumin with the inhibition of NF-kappaB signaling which is linked to inflammation and cancer formation. Several other studies have demonstrated the anti-inflammatory properties of either resveratrol or curcumin.

Many studies are ongoing and we will no-doubt here more about this exciting combination. If you are interested in reading more, pubmed.gov is an excellent resource. Just type in “resveratrol” or “curcumin” in the search field to get a sense for how much activity revolves around these important natural compounds.

While generally considered safe, it’s also important to mention that both resveratrol and curcumin can have side effects so talk to your doctor before beginning treatment.
