SynergyEmerging evidence
What is happening. Tangeretin and curcumin act through complementary anti-inflammatory and antioxidant pathways and may provide additive support against low-grade inflammation.
Mechanism. Curcumin and tangeretin both suppress NF-kB signaling and pro-inflammatory cytokines while activating Nrf2-mediated antioxidant defenses, producing partly additive effects.
Recommendation. Reasonable to combine for anti-inflammatory and metabolic goals; take with food. No separation needed, though both can modulate drug metabolism so review concurrent medications.
