The yellow pigments are water soluble and known as Curcumins. Most of the clinical research has been conducted in-vitro and primarily on animal cells using the isolated constituents. Curcumin (diferuloylmethane) is bio-transformed during and after gut absorption so it remains the work of modern researchers to determine what activity can be attributed to its downstream metabolites after oral administration as opposed to intravenous injections. The fat soluble Turmerones are another well researched group of volatile oils in this rhizome. Turmeric extracts have shown considerable pharmacological activity, but the exact modes of its actions are not yet fully understood. Undoubtedly the medicinal activity of this healing plant is coming from more than just a couple of constituents making it important to look for WholePlant Standardized preparations which contain guaranteed potency but are not limited to one constituent.
