A number of overseas studies have also been published showing that curcumin contained in turmeric can help improve cognitive function. It helps to remove active oxygen from the brain to protect nerve cells through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, accumulate amyloid beta, a pathogen that causes Alzheimer's dementia, and suppress hyperphosphorylation of tau protein.
NutriOne conducted a new human application test in Australia to demonstrate the effectiveness of turmeric extract in improving cognitive function and obtain an individual recognized raw material license, and Green Cross Wellbeing and RP Bio invested research funds in the test.
In fact, 80 men and women aged 50 to 85 years with mild cognitive impairment were given 400 mg of turmeric extract every day for 12 weeks, and significant improvements were demonstrated in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale (ADAS-Cog), which diagnose overall cognitive conditions.
In particular, only the functional contents of turmeric extract related to joint health have been recognized in Korea, but the newly licensed turmeric extract is significant as it is the only raw material in the world that has been proven to improve cognitive function through a number of overseas studies, including animal experiment papers, including human application tests conducted by NutriOne.
According to a survey by a research institute, the global curcumin market is expected to grow from $93.1 million in 2024 to $168.28 million by 33. The acquisition of individual recognition is expected to be a new opportunity to expand Kirkcummin's position in the domestic market.
"As a leading dry food company, we are continuing active research to advance our expertise, and it is meaningful to have meaningful results," a NutriOne official said. "We plan to introduce a new professional wellness product based on turmeric extract, which has obtained individual recognition from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for the first time in Korea regarding cognitive function"
