A team of researchers from the University of California have found that curcumin and vitamin D combined may have beneficial effects against Alzheimer’s disease. In fact, together, they slow the spread of amyloid plaques in the brain, responsible for dementia in people with this disease. These two substances, taken separately, also have very significant virtues: curcumin is anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory and vitamin D helps the bones as well as the immune system to consolidate.
