Can Curcumin Help Prevent Cancer Recurrence? Here’s What Experts and Science Say

The Power of Curcumin and Why Our Lakadong Turmeric Stands Out

At Humble Origins Superfoods, we’re always seeking natural, science-backed ways to support long-term wellness. One compound that continues to spark global interest is curcumin, the active compound found in turmeric. Recently, we came across a fascinating Q&A article published by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute that explored curcumin’s potential role in ovarian cancer prevention and recurrence.

Let’s break it down and explain how Lakadong Turmeric, known for its exceptional curcumin content, could play a meaningful part in your daily health regimen.

What the Experts Say About Curcumin and Ovarian Cancer

In the Dana-Farber blog, Dr. Ursula Matulonis, a leader in gynecologic oncology, addressed whether curcumin could help prevent ovarian cancer recurrence. Her response was cautiously optimistic:

“Curcumin given to ovarian cancer cells growing in culture has been successful...”

This means that in lab settings, curcumin has shown the ability to fight cancer cells. However, she added a critical caveat:

“...unfortunately, one cannot ingest the amount of curcumin orally that could kill ovarian cancer cells.”

This highlights a key issue bioavailability. Traditional turmeric may not offer high enough levels of absorbable curcumin to make a clinical difference. But not all turmeric is created equal.

Why Lakadong Turmeric May Be Your Best Curcumin Source

Lakadong Turmeric, grown in the pristine hills of Meghalaya, contains up to 9% curcumin content, compared to the 2–3% typically found in regular turmeric.

Here’s why that matters:

  • Higher potency means you get more curcumin per gram
  • It’s ethically sourced and naturally dried, retaining maximum nutritional value
  • Works well with healthy fats and black pepper for better absorption

While no supplement should be used in place of medical treatment, adding Lakadong Turmeric to your daily diet may support your immune system and overall well-being.

Wellness Through Knowledge and Nature
