Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) reduction after exercise

Moderate

Population: Healthy adults performing resistance or eccentric exercise

Study type: Systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs

Dose context: —

Curcumin supplementation significantly reduced DOMS and muscle damage markers (CK, LDH) vs placebo; effect sizes were moderate and clinically meaningful for pain reduction in eccentric exercise protocols.

Systemic inflammation — CRP and high-sensitivity CRP reduction

Moderate

Population: Adults with pro-inflammatory conditions (various clinical populations)

Study type: Systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs

Dose context: 1000 mg typical • Duration: >10 weeks

Curcumin supplementation significantly decreased CRP (WMD −3.67 mg/L, 95% CI −6.96 to −0.38) and hs-CRP vs placebo across 9 CRP and 23 hs-CRP trials; greatest effect at doses ≤1,000 mg/day and duration >10 weeks.

Non-linear dose-response; stronger effects with <2,000 mg/day curcumin.

Knee osteoarthritis pain/function

Low

Population: Adults with knee OA

Study type: RCT

Dose context: 6000 mg typical (range: 6000–6000 mg) • Duration: 12 weeks

Double-blind placebo-controlled trial reported improvements in pain and physical function with MSM 3 g twice daily for 12 weeks.

Knee joint quality of life / mild knee pain

Low

Population: Healthy adults with mild knee pain (not clinical OA)

Study type: RCT

Dose context: 2000 mg typical (range: 2000–2000 mg) • Duration: 12 weeks

Double-blind RCT (n=88) found MSM 2,000 mg/day for 12 weeks significantly improved total JKOM knee symptom scores (p=0.046) and self-reported health condition (p=0.032) vs placebo in participants with mild knee pain.
