hello .

This time, we will introduce the latest paper on curcumin and oral health .

• Curcumin (Longvida)

Before you learn about the latest research on curcumin and oral health , please refer to the previous content for a description of the raw materials .

Regular curcumin has low absorption and bioavailability, making it difficult for the body to effectively utilize it .

Which curcumin should we take to have higher absorption and bioavailability?

We can check this by checking the longvida mark, which is a patented technology.

The patented technology of longvida , a company under Verdure Science in the United States, is an abbreviation for Solid Lipid Curcumin Particle , which refers to the liposomal method in which curcumin is surrounded by a phospholipid protective film .

For more information on phospholipid barrier and liposomal, please see the links below .

Simply put , when liposomal technology is added to curcumin , it can easily pass through the cell membrane in the body, unlike regular curcumin, thus increasing the absorption rate and bioavailability of curcumin .

• Curcumin and Oral Health

I will inform you about the oral health benefits of curcumin based on research papers .

The study aimed to determine the therapeutic effect of curcumin on oral submucous fibrosis , randomly assigning patients to receive either a placebo ( ointment containing 0.05% clobetasol propionate, a type of steroid ointment ) or curcumin Longvida® lozenges ( lozenges that dissolve in the mouth ) .

The study subjects were 30 patients with oral submucous fibrosis aged 18 to 50 years who received either placebo (n=15) or 2 g lozenges containing 400 mg of curcumin Longvida® (n=15) for 3 months .

After looking at the four major words for the latest paper , let's take a closer look .

First , there is oral submucous fibrosis .

Oral Submucous Fibrosis ( OSF ) is a disease in which the oral mucosa becomes chronically eroded and hardens, making it difficult to open the mouth . Therefore, the effectiveness of treatment can be determined based on the degree to which the mouth can be opened . In addition, a burning sensation is felt when eating spicy food .

Second , the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a pain scale that evaluates the intensity of subjective pain. It is called VAS . The left side of the line is recorded as 'no pain' , and the right side is recorded as 'unbearable pain' , and the patient indicates the level of pain .

Third , there is a control group and an experimental group .

Control group refers to a placebo group in the field of medicine .

Test group refers to the group that receives the treatment to be tested, rather than the placebo group .

Based on the above information, let's take a look at the research . The first thing we will look at in the study is mouth size .

The curcumin Longvida group had an increase of 5.93 (±2.37) mm in mouth opening compared to the placebo group . As mentioned above , the biggest problem for patients with OSF is the inability to open their mouth as the disease progresses , and curcumin showed effective improvement in this regard .

The next thing to look at is the decrease in the average change value of VAS between regular food and spicy food .

General food

Placebo group (Control):

Baseline 34 (14.5–64.5), 8 (3.5–37) at 3 months, 11 (3.25–38.75) at 6 months, 20 (9–50) at 9 months

Curcumin Longvida Group (Test):

Baseline 64 (42–73), 7 (3–24) at 3 months, 6 (2–19) at 6 months, 7 (3–18) at 9 months

In the graph above, you can see that when consuming regular food , the level of pain felt by the blue curcumin group was significantly reduced compared to the green placebo group .

spicy food

Placebo group (Control):

Baseline 64 (46–75.5), 39 (20–49) at 3 months, 45 (32.5–50.5) at 6 months, 45 (30–61) at 9 months

Curcumin Longvida Group (Test):

Baseline 77 (70.5–82), 23 (4.5–34) at 3 months, 16 (5–31.5) at 6 months, 10 (7–30) at 9 months

In the graph above, you can see that when consuming spicy food , the level of pain felt by the blue curcumin group was significantly reduced compared to the green placebo group .

Therefore , this paper suggests that curcumin Longvida® 400mg is effective in enhancing the therapeutic effect of oral mucosal fibrosis .

We will return with more useful health information next time .

thank you !
