Athletes, bodybuilders, healthy eating and lifestyle fans pay close attention to their diet. There are many supplements that are recommended for those who care about their own well-being. The substance has been subjected to many studies over the years. It has healing potential and is able to heal the body. Curcumin helps to improve strength and muscle mass. The compound has many beneficial substances, but not everyone knows in what quantities and how to take it correctly.

To achieve significant results in sports, it is necessary to pay attention not only to training, but also to proper nutrition. Various additives play an important role in the diet. The useful and valuable properties of curcumin, which is an active biological substance, have been tested not only for centuries, but also by modern research. Curcumin is a must-have compound for anyone looking to enhance their physical performance.

The substance is a chemical compound of natural origin. It is found in the root system of a plant that belongs to the Ginger family or Curcuma longa. Curcumin is not obtained from fresh, but from dried underground parts. The rhizome of the plant is dried and ground into a powder that has an aroma and a bright yellow hue. It is a seasoning that gives the dish aroma, piquant pungency, golden appetizing shade.

Since ancient times, turmeric has been highly regarded for its high healing properties. In oriental alternative medicine, it was often used to treat various ailments. The dye pigment, which contains the compound, was previously used for dyeing fabrics.

The specific shade that turmeric powder has is obtained thanks to such a special compound as curcumin. It has a crystalline structure and belongs to the class of polyphenols, it dissolves perfectly with ethyl alcohol, but not with ordinary water. It is obtained by extracting the powder obtained from turmeric in several different stages, resulting in a bright yellow alcohol solution.

Natural dye, which is listed under the name E100, is actively used in the food industry. It gives the product a yellowish tint. It is used in the production of margarine, confectionery, cheese and drinks. Initially, it was used as a dye, but with the discovery of useful properties, this compound began to be used as an active biological additive.

The beneficial effects on the body have not been fully studied even to date. Some healing properties curcumin is still undergoing clinical trials. The confirmed valuable properties are enough to assert the high biological value of curcumin, so the supplement is recommended to be included in their diet for everyone who monitors their own health and is actively involved in sports.

Curcumin is highly therapeutic. It is used for the prevention and treatment of numerous diseases:

• Reduces the risk of developing Alzheimer's. At the University of California, numerous studies were carried out, during which it turned out that the compound is capable of destroying beta-amyloids, which are the main provocateurs of the development of the disease. This discovery explained that people in India and surrounding countries, whose diets are rich in curcumin, are less susceptible to Alzheimer's and other types of senile dementia.
• Increases protective functions organism. The supplement has high immunomodulatory properties.
• Acts as an anti-inflammatory. The connection can reduce the likelihood of developing inflammatory processes.
• Reduces the risk of developing depression and nervous disorders. The substance has an antidepressant effect.
• It is the prevention of colds. Curcumin has antiviral and antibacterial effects.
• Suppresses the development of tumors. Pigment coloring supplements have been shown to significantly reduce and destroy malignant cells, while shielding healthy inviolable tissue. To date, there are a number of studies in which anticancer drugs are being developed on the basis of this substance.
• Protects and protects the body from aging. Turmeric's coloring pigment is a powerful antioxidant. A similar effect has been confirmed as a result of various studies. This compound is capable of destroying free radicals that accelerate the aging process and protect the human body from oxidative stress.

The multifaceted benefits make turmeric one of the healthiest supplements around.

Most of the benefits of the supplement are of particular importance to bodybuilders and athletes in general. Curcumin serves as the basis for the creation of effective remedies with the following positive effects:

• Antibacterial. The substance prevents the breakdown of protein in muscle tissue. It prevents the loss of dry muscle mass during drying, breaks in training, cachexia, which occurs in severe diseases.
• Anti-inflammatory... An increase in muscle volume is accompanied by the appearance of microcracks and inflammation. Curcumin prevents inflammation in muscle tissue and reduces soreness. It protects the joints from heavy loads and prevents the development of inflammatory processes, reducing pain. Taking the substance on a regular basis is the prevention of arthrosis, arthritis.
• Strengthens the effect of insulin. The cells of the body become more sensitive to the coloring pigment. The anabolic effect of this hormone increases many times over.
• Increases testosterone in men. There is no scientific evidence for this effect of curcumin, but there is evidence to lower levels of estrogen, which is a testosterone antagonist. There is another important effect of curcumin - protecting the testicles from adverse environmental factors, as well as from the harmful effects of alcohol.

Suppression of catabolic processes, protecting joints from inflammation, enhancing the anabolic effect, increasing testosterone levels make the substance very useful for athletes.

In Asian countries and India, turmeric is used in fairly large quantities. They don't think about the correct use of the supplement, they get benefits without any effort, simply using the substance as a fragrant seasoning to give food a special taste.

Curcumin is eaten in India as a mixture and in such a well-known spice as curry. It contains black pepper, which increases the absorption of this compound. People who decide to follow this example should take turmeric along with ground black pepper. Thanks to this, the supplement is absorbed 20 times better and stronger.

To get even more benefit from this compound, it is necessary to infuse the powder not only with black ground pepper, but also in olive oil. Alternatively, you can use a vegetable. The difficulty in using curcumin lies in calculating the optimal dosages. Its amount in a fresh rhizome of curcumin is about five percent.

The content of the substance in the dry powder increases. The optimal daily allowance for this seasoning is one gram for every ten kilograms of its own weight. At the same time, you need to take much less pepper. Only true fans of spicy food are able to eat such an amount of seasoning. The rest are advised to consume curcumin capsules. They are produced by many manufacturers of sports nutrition and pharmaceutical companies and may contain auxiliary components, black pepper or ginger extract, bromelain, vitamin D3.

The drug is recommended to be taken according to the instructions. The optimal dose is one to three per day with meals. The duration of the course is thirty days. If the effect is minimal, you can take the capsules on a regular basis.

Contraindications and harm

Curcumin capsules are safe and do not cause side effects or addiction. They are contraindicated in children under 14 years of age, women during pregnancy and lactation, before and after surgery, people with an allergic reaction to any component.

There are drugs on sale without piperine. They are indicated for admission to people with problems of the urinary organs, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as the gallbladder. The presence of ground black pepper in the additive can cause exacerbation of diseases and irritation of the mucous membranes.

The option without piperine should also be preferred when taking aspirin and other anticoagulants, anti-inflammatory nonsteroidal drugs, theophylline, carbamepine, rifampicin, chlorzoxazone, and so on.

• nausea;
• headache;
• diarrhea;
• rashes;
• yellowing of the stool.

Gynecomastia is an enlargement of the mammary glands in the stronger sex as a result of an increase in the amount of adipose tissue. Many men do not pay attention to this problem and live happily with it all their lives. But if your appearance is important to you, you must get rid of enlarged mammary glands, because this is unnatural.

Here's what you need to know:

Curcumin has anti-catabolic effects

Curcumin Optimizes Insulin Effects

Curcumin has been shown to reduce estrogen hormone levels, thereby increasing testosterone levels in the blood.

The anti-catabolic potential of curcumin. ​

Curcumin is widely recognized as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain reliever) agent, but recent scientific studies have shown that it also has anti-catabolic and androgenic properties and enhances the action of insulin. Scientists have found that a diet that includes curcumin inhibits protein depletion and muscle degradation after injury, as well as in people with cachexia (severe weight loss seen in chronic diseases). Researchers attributed these effects to the anti-catabolic action of curcumin. In addition, dietary intake of curcumin during exercise reduces muscle damage and inflammation while increasing recovery. Curcumin has also been shown to reduce muscle wasting during weight loss. Although there have been no studies describing the effects of curcumin on muscle hypertrophy in active athletes, scientists have shown that curcumin has a pronounced anti-catabolic effect. This means that adding curcumin to your diet will help you gain mass and recover from exercise.

Conclusion: Eating curcumin in food has an anti-catabolic effect, so curcumin can be an effective supplement to support muscle growth and recovery.

Anti-inflammatory properties of curcumin. ​

While inflammation is a natural response of the body and is necessary to heal, inflammation that is too active has a negative effect and can adversely affect training and muscle growth. The scientific literature clearly states that curcumin has an anti-inflammatory effect, as it blocks signaling substances responsible for the development of an inflammatory response in tissues (tumor necrosis factor α, other pro-inflammatory cytokines). And although most of the research has been done for medical, medicinal purposes, the results can also be extrapolated to long-term training. Interestingly, curcumin both prevents the onset of the inflammatory response and weakens the course of the existing inflammatory response, which began even before curcumin entered the body, due to its ability to block the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2, which is one of the most important links in inflammatory responses. The most effective use of curcumin as an anti-inflammatory drug is based on its ability to suppress inflammation in the joints, that is, arthritis. Studies have shown that taking curcumin significantly reduced the severity of joint pain in people with conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. While there is no scientific evidence to support a reduction in laboratory values ​​and markers of joint inflammation, people with joint pain who took curcumin saw a clear improvement in pain symptoms.

Conclusion: Eating curcumin with food has anti-inflammatory effects and can effectively reduce joint pain, which can also help you exercise.

Antioxidant properties of curcumin. ​

Initially, scientists and doctors perceived curcumin as an antioxidant. Of course, dietary intake of antioxidants is a controversial issue as it is believed that antioxidants can reduce the effects of exercise. While oxidative stress in muscle tissue may play an important role in catabolism, exercise that activates oxidative stress can act as a stressor that activates muscle growth. However, preventing excess acidification can help muscle tissue recover and grow. There are many detailed studies in humans and animals showing that curcumin is an effective antioxidant that helps prevent excess acidification of body tissues.

Conclusion: curcumin is an effective exogenous antioxidant.

Insulin-sensitizing properties of curcumin. ​

The action of insulin on muscle cells is manifested in the synthesis of muscle proteins. In the experience of a large number of people, as well as in many scientific studies, it has been proven that the optimization of the action of insulin with proper nutrition, including the required amount and set of proteins and carbohydrates, promotes significant progress in muscle growth. Of course, the work of insulin, like any other hormone, is regulated by many complex processes and its anabolic effect is not unlimited, but curcumin will really help you "squeeze" a little more out of the anabolic effect of insulin. Curcumin is believed to inhibit the reverse mechanism that inhibits insulin production and decreases insulin activity; also curcumin enhances the anabolic effect of insulin by increasing the sensitivity of cells to this hormone.

Conclusion: the use of curcumin will increase the activity of insulin, enhance its anabolic effect in skeletal muscles.

Possible testosterone-raising property of curcumin. ​

Testosterone is the king in the world of anabolic hormones. It controls the synthesis of muscle proteins, increases mass gain, and improves human health. And while curcumin is touted as a testosterone-boosting agent, there is a lack of relevant scientific research. We currently know for sure that curcumin has a protective effect on testicular function, especially in cases of excessive alcohol consumption. High doses of curcumin have also been reported to enhance the conversion of testosterone to the more active androgen, dihydrotestosterone, but the likelihood that this property will be manifested and used in humans is low, since the study was conducted in animals, and the doses of curcumin used were extremely high. However, there is some evidence that curcumin in small doses lowers estrogen levels, which may increase testosterone levels. Unfortunately, given the research done to date, we do not yet have sufficient data on the effects of curcumin on testosterone levels in humans.

Conclusion: consuming curcumin protects testicular function.

Doses and safety. ​

Https://do4a.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/9ab29f2b5585b23ab55ef686b85e2eb4.png
Human studies have shown that curcumin is completely safe, and even doses of curcumin above physiological ones have no toxic effect. The lethal dose for mice is more than 2000 mg per kilogram of body weight. If we extrapolate the results of this study to humans, a dose of 160,000 mg would be lethal for an 80-kg man. Given that the standard dose of curcumin ranges from 80mg to 750mg, it is safe to say that using curcumin in the above doses is absolutely safe.

Conclusion: It is safe to consume curcumin at the recommended dosages and there are few or no side effects.

Curcumin attracts keen interest among adherents healthy way life, athletes and bodybuilders. As research in recent years has shown, this substance has powerful healing and healing potential, and also contributes to increased strength and muscle growth. Let's consider what curcumin is, what beneficial properties it has, and how to take it correctly.

To achieve results in sports, in addition to training, you need good nutrition, in which sports supplements play an important role. Curcumin is a natural biologically active substance, whose benefits have been tested for centuries, and their effectiveness has been proven by modern research. Therefore, this supplement deserves the attention of everyone who cares about their health and strives to improve their physical performance.

Curcumin is chemical compound contained in the rhizomes of the Curcuma longa ginger family. From dried pounded rhizomes of turmeric, a bright yellow aromatic powder is obtained, which has long been used in the East as a seasoning that gives dishes aroma, pungency and an appetizing golden color.

The healing properties of turmeric have been known since antiquity. In folk oriental medicine, it was used to treat many diseases. Due to its coloring properties, in the old days it was also used for dyeing fabrics.

It is curcumin that gives turmeric powder its specific color. This substance belongs to the class of polyphenols, it has a crystalline structure, is easily soluble in ethyl alcohol and does not dissolve in water. It is produced by extracting turmeric powder in several stages, obtaining a bright yellow alcohol solution at the exit.

Curcumin is used in the food industry as a natural E100 dye. To give products a yellow tint, it is added to drinks, cheeses, margarines, and confectionery. And with the discovery of the beneficial properties of this dye, the scope of its application expanded - on its basis, biologically active additives began to be produced.

Beneficial features

The effect of curcumin on the body is not fully understood; some of its therapeutic effects are still in clinical trials. However, those that have already been confirmed are enough to recognize the great benefits of this biologically active compound.

Prevention and treatment of diseases

The unique properties of curcumin make it possible to use it in the treatment and prevention of many diseases.

• Prevention of Alzheimer's disease. According to research from the University of California, this substance destroys beta-amyloids, which provoke the development of Alzheimer's disease. This discovery served as an explanation for the fact that in India and neighboring countries, where in national cuisines Turmeric is widely used, Alzheimer's disease and other types of senile dementia are almost never found.
• Immunomodulatory properties.
• Anti-inflammatory action.
• Mild antidepressant effect.
• Antibacterial and antiviral activity.
• Antineoplastic activity. Presumably, the coloring component of turmeric has the ability to target cancer cells while keeping healthy tissue intact. Clinical trials of anticancer drugs based on this substance are already underway for the treatment of certain types of cancer.
• Antioxidant properties. The coloring component of turmeric has been proven to be a powerful antioxidant. In the course of research, it was confirmed that this compound actively destroys free radicals, which are one of the factors that accelerate aging, and protects the body from oxidative stress.

Application in sports and bodybuilding

Many of the health benefits of curcumin are especially important in sports and bodybuilding, which is why this compound is used to create effective sports supplements.

• Anti-catabolic effect. Curcumin has been shown to inhibit muscle protein breakdown. Taking this supplement allows you to avoid loss of lean muscle mass during the drying period or during a break in training, as well as with cachexia, which is observed in severe diseases.
• Anti-inflammatory properties. Muscle growth processes are inevitably accompanied by inflammation in the muscle fibers, which is felt like a sore throat. Taking curcumin prevents the development of inflammatory processes in muscle tissue, thereby reducing the manifestations of dyspepsia. Also, under heavy loads, it protects the joints, stopping the onset of inflammation and relieving pain. Regular intake of this compound helps prevent the development of arthritis and arthrosis.
• Strengthening the action of insulin. The coloring component of turmeric has the ability to increase the sensitivity of cells to insulin, thereby increasing the anabolic effect of this hormone.
• Increased testosterone levels in men. The effects of curcumin on testosterone production have not yet been confirmed by research. However, there is evidence that taking it lowers estrogen levels in the body. And since estrogen is a testosterone antagonist, a decrease in the level of this female hormone means an increase in testosterone levels. In addition, it has been found that curcumin protects the function of the testicles from the effects of negative factors, in particular, from the toxic effects of alcohol.

Inhibiting catabolic processes, protecting joints from inflammation, enhancing the anabolic effect of insulin, increasing testosterone levels - all these effects indicate that the benefits of curcumin for athletes are undeniable.

Admission rules

In India and other Asian countries, turmeric is traditionally eaten in large quantities, so they don't think about how to take curcumin. Indians get the benefit of this spice, enjoying its taste and aroma.

It should be noted that in India, turmeric is used in a mixture with other spices as part of the famous Indian curry seasoning. Black pepper, present in curry, increases the absorption of curcumin. Therefore, if you decide to follow the example of the Indians, then use turmeric mixed with ground black pepper as a seasoning. The addition of pepper increases the absorption of curcumin by 20 times.

You can further increase the digestibility if you insist a mixture of turmeric powder and ground black pepper in vegetable (preferably olive) oil. However, it is difficult to calculate the optimal dosage of this burning supplement. The content of curcumin in turmeric is about 5% in a fresh rhizome. Its concentration in the powder is much higher. It is believed that it is enough to consume 1 g of turmeric powder per 10 kg of body weight per day. You need to take many times less pepper.

But in order to eat such an amount of hot seasoning per day, one must be a great lover of spicy ones. Those who do not consider themselves to be such can buy this supplement in capsules. They are produced by many pharmaceutical companies and sports nutrition manufacturers. In addition to curcuminoids, most of them contain black pepper extract (piperine) and excipients. Curcumin with piperine can be supplemented with vitamin D3, bromelain, ginger extract.

Contraindications and possible harm

Curcumin in capsules is non-toxic, rarely causes side effects, and does not develop addiction to it. Contraindications to its reception are:

• allergy to any of the components of the drug;
• age up to 14 years;
• pregnancy;
• breast-feeding;
• pre- and postoperative period.

In the presence of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, urinary organs and gallbladder, it is recommended to take this supplement without piperine, such options also occur. Pepper is irritating to mucous membranes and can exacerbate diseases.

When taken together with other drugs, you should also choose a supplement that does not contain piperine, since pepper enhances the effect of the following drugs:

• anticoagulants (aspirin, etc.);
• non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (diclofenac, etc.);
• carbamazepine;
• theophylline;
• chlorzoxazone;
• rifampicin, etc.

Overdose symptoms may appear when taking more than 8 g of curcumin per day. It can be:

• nausea;
• headache;
• yellowing of the stool;
• rash;
• diarrhea.

Curcumin is a beneficial supplement that will help promote health, prolong youth, and achieve new heights in sports and bodybuilding.

A lot of unique things about testosterone, and how to increase its level, you will learn today from this article, friends. The information is unique and strictly scientific. I even decided to leave links to scientific work and the experiments that served as the basis for this material. All of this can be found at the end of the page. With this article, I, in some way, undermine the domestic market of testosterone boosters, because you no longer need them after reading the material.

How to raise testosterone naturally

I am often asked how to raise testosterone levels. Moreover, as a rule, they expect from me specific names of various pharmacological preparations or dietary supplements. Friends, before I give you such names (and they will be below), I want to tell you about the three most effective natural ways to increase testosterone levels. This:

• VICTORY
• WORKOUT

Why Testosterone Rises

These three things will dramatically increase your natural testosterone secretion. Recent studies on men over 30 years have shown that excess sleep can double testosterone production. Just think about it! It is also a proven fact that your every success, as well as your every defeat, is reflected in the endocrine system. Winners always have more testosterone than losers. And the point here is not doping, but natural secretion.
Finally, training ... Exactly power training is the most powerful and most important factor in increasing natural testosterone levels. It is in response to stress (discomfort, pain, burning, etc.) that testosterone is produced. Moreover, it is in response to discomfort in active tissues that your testosterone is activated (in those same tissues). And the natural test works much more efficiently than the artificial one.
Spanish scientists conducted an experiment on 20 students who never went to gym... The bottom line is that the guys took a test for sex hormones BEFORE training and AFTER training with iron (basic exercises for large muscle groups).
Immediately after training, testosterone levels were lowered and cortisol levels were elevated. This is to be expected, because during training, muscle cells absorb more androgens from the blood than usual. After that, the scientists forced the students to go to the gym three times a week for a month. And then the hormones were measured ... ..
Immediately after training, testosterone levels did not change much. He was the same as a month ago. But before starting the workout, the level was 40% higher !!! Those. our body in response to stress stress began to produce more testosterone for its reconstruction. By the way, the level of catabolic hormones decreased. As a result of regular training with iron, testosterone production increases (by 40%) and cortisol production decreases. Think about it the next time you want to buy a testosterone booster from a sports nutrition store.

Onion juice (Cry, baby, cry)

Onion juice significantly stimulates the production of testosterone. The discovery was made by Iranian scientists and then it was confirmed by Jordanian experts in the search for a natural remedy for men suffering from impotence.

For 20 days, laboratory mice were given 0.5 ml, 1 ml. and 2 ml. "Fresh" onion.

Fourth group (TO) was the control. In parallel, the subjects were given Paroxiten, a serotonin inhibitor that leads to impotence in mice. Paroxiten daily dose (I) in the amount of 10 mg in twenty days reduced the level of testosterone almost three times compared with the control (TO) group. However, those mice that received pomace at 1 ml / day and 2 ml / day were very successful in resisting the decline. More than half of the mice that were given I(Paroxiten) could not come when they were placed in a cage with fertile females. However, this did not apply to those males who received the medicine in the form of fresh onion pomace.
