Abstract:
The serum concentration of curcumin is low. The poor bioavailability of curcumin is due to its rapid metabolism. The biotransformation of curcumin through reduction and glucuronidation in vivo was suggested. Further study to elucidate the absorption mechanism of curcumin and the relationship between metabolites and bioactivity are needed.
