Second, curcumin helps stimulate a very important genetic pathway known as the NRF2 pathway, which activates a whole set of antioxidant genes, including genes
like glutathione synthase (which is the body's natural way of making
glutathione) and
glutathione peroxidase (which is the way the body uses
glutathione to fight off damage) and is just one way that curcumin fights damaging oxidants.
