Tumeric (spice) is what I take.
It contains curcumin as an active ingredient.
Rather than rely on mailing list buddies for accurate life altering
info, it's safer to try official definitions first. This from

Turmeric (Curcuma longa, also called tumeric or kunyit in some Asian
countries[1]) is a spice commonly used in curries and other South
Asian cuisine. Its active ingredient is curcumin. It is a significant
ingredient in most commercial curry powders. Turmeric is also used to
give a yellow color to some prepared mustards, canned chicken broth,
and other foods (often as a much cheaper replacement for saffron). It
makes a poor fabric dye as it is not very lightfast (the degree to
which a dye resists fading due to light exposure).
Turmeric, a representative of plant genus Curcuma, is a member of the
ginger family, Zingiberaceae.
In Ayurvedic medicine, turmeric is thought to have many healthful
properties and many in India use it as a readily available antiseptic
for cuts and burns. It is taken in some Asian countries as a dietary
supplement, which allegedly helps with stomach problems and other
ailments. It is popular as a tea in Okinawa, Japan. It is currently
being investigated for possible benefits in Alzheimer's disease,
cancer and liver disorders.
Sangli, a town in the southern part of the Indian state of
Maharashtra, is the largest and most important trading centre for
turmeric in Asia or perhaps in the entire world.[citation needed]
