The most beneficial compound found in turmeric is curcumin, and it can help support memory functions and contribute to a feeling of calmness and bring relief from mental stress or strain. It has also been shown to lessen fatigue as well as promote better heart health. Curcumin is also known to contribute to the increase of BDNF (a brain hormone), which then enhances the function of the brain’s neurons, encouraging growth and promoting strength. Also, one of the features of diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer’s is the buildup of amyloid-beta proteins or plaque. In some studies, curcumin was found to have the potential to obstruct the development of this plaque.
