Curcumin, a compound derived from turmeric, has been linked with the amelioration of chemical-induced autism. A study published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine looked into curcumin’s effects against autism induced by valproic acid (VPA).
The researchers concluded that curcumin supplementation can attenuate autism induced by exposure to VPA. They did warn, however, that certification is needed for its therapeutic use in humans.
