Curcumin (Turmeric) and Curcumin (Turmeric) for Depressive symptoms
Each entry’s own grades, side by side. A grade says how strong the evidence is for one outcome — it does not rank one entry over the other.
Compound or practice
Curcumin (Turmeric)
A genuine anti-inflammatory for joints and mood — if you solve its terrible absorption; ignore the cancer-cure hype.
Grade B3 graded outcomesrevised Jul 10, 2026
A structured monograph in Prometheus's bundled library. Its grades are the monograph's own reading of the evidence, not a peer-reviewed review.

Outcomes are matched by name. Two entries can describe the same outcome in different words, so one listed further down may still be graded in the other.
