A new study has found that daily supplementation with Curcumin may be effective in reducing anxiety and depressive symptoms in people with major depressive disorders.
Over 100 people participated in this randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study. All the participants had major depressive disorder. Participants were given one of four treatment conditions: A placebo, a low-dose Curcumin Extract (250 MG), a high dose Curcumin Extract (500 MG), or a combined saffron (15 MG) plus low-dose Curcumin Extract (250 MG). The study lasted 12 weeks. The Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology self-rated version (IDS-SR30) and the Speilberger State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were used to measure results.
Participants supplementing with any form of the Curcumin Extract saw considerable improvements when compared to the placebo group. No differences were seen between the different doses of Curcumin Extract or the combination of the Curcumin/Saffron.
Researchers believe that larger studies are needed. They also believe the treatment duration needs to be longer.
