Description About Tetrahydrocurcumin
Tetrahydrocurcumin is produced by the hydrogenation of curcumin isolated from the rhizome of the ginger plant turmeric (curcuma longa).
Tetrahydrocurcumin is a colorless hydrogenated derivative of curcumin, mainly including curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin. It has various effects and uses, and is widely used in the fields of medicine and health. Tetrahydrocurcumin is considered a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory with many health benefits.
Tetrahydrocurcumin has been used as a new type of pharmaceutical raw material and intermediate because of its anti-oxidative, anti-tumor and anti-atherosclerotic effects. It is another new function of this product to be used as a food additive.
Tetrahydrocurcumin has pharmacological effects such as lowering blood sugar, lowering blood fat, anti-metastasis, anti-cancer, and anti-depression. At the same time, it was found that its pharmacological activities in terms of anti-oxidation, lowering blood sugar, and blood fat were superior to curcumin. The study also found that Tetrahydrocurcumin has a good therapeutic effect on metabolic syndrome, obese type 2 diabetes, hypertension and insulin resistance syndrome and other related diseases, and has a wide application prospect.
