After oral administration of 400 mg curcumin [the major pigment of turmeric, an Indian spice from Curcuma longa] to rats, about 60% of the dose was absorbed. No circumin was detectable in urine. The urinary excretion of conjugated glucuronides and sulfates significantly increased. No curcumin was present in heart blood. Only traces (less than 5 .mu.g/ml) in portal blood and negligible quantities in liver and kidney (< 20 .mu.g/tissue) were observed from 15 min up to 24 h after curcumin administration. At the end of 24 h the concentration of curcumin remaining in the lower part of the gut (cecum and large intestine) amounted to 38% of the quantity administered.
