Background We previously developed a surface-controlled
water-dispersible form of curcumin and named it
Theracurmin® (Theracurmin; Theravalues, Tokyo, Japan).
The area under the blood concentration–time curve of
Theracurmin in humans was 27-fold higher than that of
curcumin powder. We determined the clinical effects of
orally administered Theracurmin in patients with knee osteoarthritis
during 8 weeks of treatment.
