Kurkumin - capsules of 100-500 mg, preferably 200 mg, is a dietetic composition of herbal origin. It is the root of Curcumae longae rhizomae which is used as an additional remedy against large intestine polyps. Large intestine polyps often turn into cancerous substances. In cases of such inflammatory processes, big concentration of cyclooxigenase-2 (cox-2) is spotted. Kurkumin is a selective inhibitor (it does not destroy cox-1) so that no side effects, such as the creation of stomach ulcer or the bleeding from digestive system, have been spotted. With its chemical content - p-tolymethyl carbinol (C8H10O), it functions as a chemical reagent on cyclooxigenase-2 (cox-2) enzyme, creating inactive form out of an active enzyme. Polyps are not able to use such form so that their growth is stopped.
