The form“Why Curcumin — not Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) or Turmeric?”Evidence Strong evidence

Curcumin is the strongest evidence signal for this outcome.

  • CurcuminThe pick

    Strong evidence · 500 mg

    Polyphenol from turmeric root with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity; poorly absorbed alone, so bioavailability is boosted by piperine or lipid-based formulations.

  • Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA)

    Moderate evidence · 1200 mg

    A 20-carbon marine omega-3 most active against high triglycerides and inflammation; often concentrated apart from DHA to target cardiovascular endpoints.

  • Turmeric

    Strong evidence · 50 mg

    Root spice rich in curcuminoids, particularly curcumin; used for joint and inflammatory support, though absorption is poor without piperine or lipid-based delivery.
