    TLDR Curcumin improves blood sugar and cholesterol in PCOS patients.
    The study evaluated the effects of curcumin on glycemic control and lipid profile in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) by analyzing three randomized control trials. Curcumin significantly improved fasting glucose, fasting insulin, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), insulin sensitivity (QUICKI), high-density lipoprotein, and total cholesterol levels. However, it did not show a statistically significant difference in low-density lipoprotein and triglyceride levels compared to placebo. The findings suggested that curcumin could enhance glycemic control and lipid metabolism in PCOS patients without significant adverse effects, though further research was recommended to explore its effects on hyperandrogenism.

      community My Research Compilation on Nutrafol

      in Research/Science  11 upvotes 3 years ago
      Nutrafol, a hair loss supplement, has limited and potentially biased research, with one study showing a 10% increase in hair count for women after 6 months but no significant results for men. The user concludes that cheaper, well-studied options like minoxidil may be more effective, especially for men, given the lack of evidence supporting Nutrafol.
