The effects of curcuminoids on lipids were not found to be dependent on the duration of supplementation .
Conclusion : This meta- analysis has shown that curcuminoid therapy significantly reduces plasma triglycerides and increases HDL-C levels
ABSTRACT Objective : The aim of this systematic review and meta- analysis was to determine and clarify the impact of curcuminoids on  serum lipid levels .
Diverse effects of a low dose supplement of lipidated curcumin in healthy middle aged people
Background Curcumin extracts of turmeric are proposed to produce health benefits . To date , human intervention studies have focused mainly on people with existing health problems given high doses of poorly absorbed curcumin . The purpose of the current study was to check whether in healthy people , a low dose of a lipi date d curcumin extract could alter wellness-related measures . Methods The present study was conducted in healthy middle aged people ( 40–60 years old ) with a low dose of curcumin ( 80 mg/day ) in a lipi date d form expected to have good absorption . Subjects were given either curcumin ( N = 19 ) or placebo ( N = 19 ) for 4 wk .  Blood and saliva sample s were taken before and after the 4 weeks and analyzed for a variety of blood and saliva measures relevant to health promotion . Results Curcumin , but not placebo , produced the following statistically significant changes : lowering of plasma triglyceride values , lowering of salivary amylase levels , raising of salivary radical scavenging capacities , raising of plasma catalase activities , lowering of plasma beta amyloid protein concentrations , lowering of plasma sICAM readings , increased plasma myeloperoxidase without increased c-reactive protein levels , increased plasma nitric oxide , and decreased plasma alanine amino transferase activities . Conclusion Collectively , these results demonstrate that a low dose of a curcumin-lipid preparation can produce a variety of potentially health promoting effects in healthy middle aged people
