Curcumin for COVID-19
15th treatment shown to reduce risk in February 2021, now with p = 0.0000000096 from 27 studies.
No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine treatments.
5,100+ studies for 112 treatments. c19early.org
RCT 49 hospitalized COVID-19 patients, 25 treated with curcumin and quercetin, shower lower mortality/ICU admission and improved recovery with treatment. All patients received vitamin D.
336mg curcumin, 520mg quercetin, and 18μg vitamin D3 daily for 14 days. The control arm received 20μg vitamin D3 daily. Baseline fever favored treatment while vaccination favored control.
This is the 19th of 21 COVID-19 RCTs for curcumin, which collectively show efficacy with p=0.0000022.
This is the 25th of 27 COVID-19 controlled studies for curcumin, which collectively show efficacy with p=0.0000000096 (1 in 104 million).
Study covers curcumin and quercetin.

Objectives: The effect and safety of Nasafytol ® , a food supplement combining curcumin, quercetin, and Vitamin D, on hospitalized COVID-19-positive patients as support to standard of care were to be assessed. Methods: This exploratory, open-label, randomized, controlled trial was carried out among hospitalized adults with COVID-19 infection. Participants were randomly assigned to receive Nasafytol ® or Fultium ® control. The improvement of the clinical condition and occurrence of (serious) adverse events were evaluated. The study was registered on clincaltrials.gov with the identifier NCT04844658. Results: Twenty-five patients received Nasafytol ® , and 24 received Fultium ® . Demographic characteristics were well balanced between the groups. On day 14 (or at hospital leave if < 14 days), no difference was observed between groups regarding their clinical condition, fever, or the need of oxygen therapy. At day 7, however, 19 participants had been discharged from the hospital in the Nasafytol ® arm compared to 10 participants in the Fultium ® arm. No participants were transferred to the ICU or died in the Nasafytol ® arm, vs. 4 transfers and 1 death in the Fultium ® arm. The clinical condition of participants in the Nasafytol ® arm had improved, as evidenced by a decrease in the COVID-19 WHO score. Interestingly, five SAEs occurred with Fultium ® , while no SAE was observed with Nasafytol ® . Conclusion: Supplementation with Nasafytol ® , in addition to standard-of-care treatment, led to a faster discharge from the hospital, improved clinical conditions of participants, and a reduced risk of serious outcomes, including transfer to the intensive care unit or death, in patients hospitalized with COVID-19.
