Tetrahydrocurcuminoids (THC) is an antioxidative substance, which is derived from curcumin, the component of turmeric. In the present investigation, the effect of THC and curcumin against chloroquine (CQ) induced hepatotoxicity were studied in female Wistar rats.

Tetrahydrocurcumin (4-HC) is a major bioactive derivative of curcumin, and thanks to advances in science, it’s also given credibility as the engine behind all that curcumin brings to the table.

With a newfound ability to extract and isolate the compound, research has even seen tetrahydrocurcumin outperform its parent compound in several tests of its capabilities. Not only can 4-HC expand upon curcumin’s capabilities, it also seems to diminish the limitations of the long-used herb. This translates to superior effects in the areas of blood sugar regulation, antioxidation, and inflammation – all things that many of us could certainly benefit from!
