The antibacterial power of curcumin has been seen in various studies throughout the years. As more and more studies test curcumin's ability against bacteria, we find more and more reasons to take curcumin daily.
Recently In Japan, in the Department of Preventive Dentistry, at Osaka University at Japan's premier Graduate School of Dentistry,y we found the following curcumin study. The Japanese wanted to know if curcumin and its antibacterial potential could deal with various Periodontopathic Bacteria that lead to gum disease, particularly Porphyromonas gingivalis. Yes, they wanted to know if curcumin suppresses gum disease bacteria.
