Curcumin improves muscle performance, endurance, and relieves fatigue

As the main component of turmeric extract, the application of curcumin in the field of sports nutrition has attracted increasing attention. At the 2018 Vitafoods exhibition, OmniActiveHealth Technologies introduced the health benefits of curcumin in sports nutrition and demonstrated its market potential in the field of sports nutrition. Including the effects of curcumin on blood flow and circulation, muscle performance, endurance, and fatigue relief, these are key factors in improving athletic performance and supporting an active lifestyle.

Curcumin is still relatively niche in the sports nutrition market, but there will be more and more market opportunities for products aimed at addressing physical performance and physical recovery issues. There are several reasons why curcumin is expected to succeed in the field of sports nutrition. Initially, the strengthening of regulatory scrutiny has led many consumers to shift towards transparent sports nutrition formulas.

In addition, athletes and active consumers are particularly receptive to supplements to improve exercise effectiveness, and these consumers are very concerned about their performance in the body. For example, CurcuWin, a component of curcumin, has been favored by many consumers due to its transparent ingredient list, curcumin, usage history, and scientific research support.

The research linking curcumin with exercise nutrition continues to grow, and OmniActive has conducted several studies on its own curcumin components. For example, in a study published in 2017, OmniActive found that curcumin can accelerate physical recovery after vigorous exercise.

In this study, researchers recruited 59 healthy, moderately trained volunteers and randomly assigned them to receive 250mg of CurcuWin per day, 1000mg of CurcuWin per day, and an equal amount of placebo. Lasting for 8 weeks. The research results showed that volunteers in the 1000 mg CurcuWin group had significantly reduced levels of IL-6 cytokine markers and weakened muscle damage. Therefore, the researchers concluded that curcumin may help promote muscle recovery and performance. In addition, other studies have shown that curcumin also has benefits for symptoms, circulation, and blood flow after exercise.
