What the studies found
Curcumin (turmeric) has been studied for Amyloidosis in animals, not yet in people.
We found 20 published papers on Curcumin (turmeric) and Amyloidosis. They were published between 2009 and 2026.
0 of them are studies in people (0 randomised trials), 3 are reviews, 5 are studies in animals and 1 are studies only in the lab. 2 papers were retracted.
The most important ones are listed under Sources.
What this means for you: Results in animals or in cells often do not hold in people. Do not stop or change your medicines because of it. Ask your doctor before you start taking it.
