The 90-day, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trial was conducted in 96 healthy adults who experienced chronic knee pain following physical exertion. The findings: The patients who took 250mg/day of the turmeric extract saw a pain reduction 2.5 times greater than those who took placebo. It also improved the amount of time required for participants to perform an 80m fast-paced walk test and a 9-step stair-climb test. The researchers further noted that the extract was well-tolerated and found to be safe for human consumption.
