Curcumin, Resveratrol, and Stinging Nettle as Treatments for GWI

"Curcumin (chemical C21H20O6) is derived from turmeric (Curcuma longa) root extract, standardized to contain 95% curcuminoids. The greatest obstacle with curcumin is its poor natural bioavailability. To help circumvent that issue, a piperazine is included as black pepper 5.3mg (Piper nigrum) fruit extract standardized to 95% piperine. The botanical we are using is provided by Pure Encapsulations. Curcumin being used in this study is a commercially available dietary supplement and is classified as food by the FDA instead of a drug.~100 participants will be randomized to receive curcumin. Participants will receive placebo, low-dose (500 mg/day), medium-dose (1000 mg/day), and/or high dose (2000 mg/day) curcumin in a randomized order."

"Resveratrol (chemical C14H12O3) is provided as 99% Pure Trans-Resveratrol (MegaResveratrol) from polygonum cuspidatum root). Resveratrol being used in this study is a commercially available dietary supplement and is classified as food by the FDA instead of a drug.~100 participants will be randomized to receive resveratrol. Participants will receive placebo, low-dose (250 mg/day), medium-dose (500mg/day), and/or high dose (1000mg/day) resveratrol in a randomized order."

"Stinging nettle is derived from nettle (Urtica spp) leaf. The botanical we are using is provided by Pure Encapsulations. Stinging Nettle being used in this study is a commercially available dietary supplement and is classified as food by the FDA instead of a drug.~100 participants will be randomized to receive stinging nettle. Participants will receive placebo, low-dose (435mg/day), medium-dose (870mg/day), and/or high dose (2610mg/day) stinging nettle in a randomized order."
