Curcumin for COVID-19
16th treatment shown to reduce risk in February 2021, now with p = 0.0000000061 from 28 studies.
No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine treatments.

RCT 174 patients in India, 87 treated with AyurCoro-3 (turmeric, gomutra, potassium alum, khadisakhar, bos indicus milk, ghee), showing faster recovery with treatment. EC/NEW/INST/2019/245.
This is the 5th of 21 COVID-19 RCTs for curcumin, which collectively show efficacy with p=0.0000022.
This is the 8th of 28 COVID-19 controlled studies for curcumin, which collectively show efficacy with p=0.0000000061 (1 in 164 million).
risk of death, 88.9% lower, RR 0.11, p = 0.12, treatment 0 of 87 (0.0%), control 4 of 87 (4.6%), NNT 22, relative risk is not 0 because of continuity correction due to zero events (with reciprocal of the contrasting arm).
risk of mechanical ventilation, 75.0% lower, RR 0.25, p = 0.37, treatment 1 of 87 (1.1%), control 4 of 87 (4.6%), NNT 29.
risk of no 2-point improvement, 46.5% lower, RR 0.54, p = 0.002, treatment 29 of 87 (33.3%), control 60 of 87 (69.0%), NNT 2.8, inverted to make RR<1 favor treatment, odds ratio converted to relative risk, day 7 mid-recovery.
hospitalization time, 10.0% lower, relative time 0.90, p = 0.40, treatment 87, control 87.
