Tetrahydrocurcumin (TetraCurcumin): In this podcast, we explore exciting research on liver health using turmeric's metabolite, tetrahydrocurcumin (THC), as a potential treatment for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and NASH.
This is NOT Tetrahydrocannabinol from cannabis, this is TetraCurcumin from Turmeric.
Recent studies in rats show THC's ability to improve liver health by reducing fat buildup, inflammation, and oxidative stress. THC may enhance lipophagy, the cellular cleaning process for fat removal, by acting on the MTORC1-TFAB pathway.
This pathway regulates energy conservation in cells, potentially aiding in clearing fat droplets. Consult your doctor before considering THC as a treatment option for liver health.
You would need to eat 24.33 grams of turmeric a day to get the amount of TetrahydroCucrmin found in a single capsule of RevGenetics TetraCurcumin found here:
