In 2004, Shavon Jackson-Michel changed course to pursue her true passion. “All of my colleagues and my contemporaries, my mentors, and family, they're like, ‘what are you doing? You're leaving this very formal study of biomedical engineering and going into naturopathic medicine?’ No one honestly knew what it was or what I was doing.”

A new clinical study published in the journal
BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies investigated the effects of a curcumin extract on gastrointestinal symptoms, mood, and overall quality of life in adults with digestive complaints.
While previous research suggests curcumin can alleviate digestive symptoms, past trials included curcumin as a component of multi-herbal combinations.
In the most recent study, the curcumin extract branded as Curcugen by DolCas was evaluated as a stand-alone botanical intervention.
The study
The 8-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, led by Adrian Lopresti, PhD, was conducted on 78 adult volunteers with self-reported digestive complaints. Participants were recruited and randomized to receive either a placebo or 500 mg Curcugen.
