Colon Cancer |
Circumin04/24/2007 |
Hello, I read that circumin may help prevent colon cancer by preventing or reducing colon polyps. Is this true, and if so is it safe to take a circumin supplement? Thanks.
Curcumin is currently being studied as an anti-cancer medication. Most of the research studies to date have evaluated it in animals and there are some ongoing studies now to evaluate it as a possible medication to prevent colon cancer or polyps in humans. Therefore, it's probably a bit too early to say whether or not it will work.
