Curcumin
Participants will be given identical capsules containing curcumin (1000 mg/day), and will be instructed to consume two 500 mg capsules prior to breakfast every morning with a glass of water. Participants will be instructed to follow this dosing regimen throughout the entire three-month treatment period. Compliance with the dosing regimen will be monitored both through interview and by counting capsules left at monthly clinic visits.
