  • “As such, the results of a fixed-effects model demonstrated that curcumin’s influence did not significantly lower the TG (MD = 1.28, 95% CI: -3.75 to 6.30, p = 0.62).”
    Effect
    1.28 mean difference, 95% CI −3.75 to 6.3
    Dose studied
    pooled, 80 to 2,400 mg/day (one trial 20 mg/kg), 4 to 12 weeks
    Population
    Adults with metabolic syndrome in 8 randomised trials of curcumin supplementation versus placebo or blank, 4 to 12 weeks
  • “Thus, the results of a model with random effects showed that curcumin had no discernible impact on IL-6 (MD = -1.5, 95% CI: -3.97 to 0.97, p = 0.23).”
    Effect
    −1.5 mean difference, 95% CI −3.97 to 0.97
    Dose studied
    pooled, nano-curcumin 80 mg/day and curcuminoids-piperine 1,000 mg/day
    Population
    Adults with metabolic syndrome in 2 randomised trials of curcumin supplementation versus placebo, 6 to 8 weeks
