The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Curcuminoid Standardized Turmeric Capsules works to treat Osteoarthritis Genu in adults. It will also learn about the safety of Curcuminoid Standardized Turmeric Capsules. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does Curcuminoid Standardized Turmeric Capsules lower the pain, TNF-Alpha, Interleukin-1 and CRP in the blood? * What medical problems do participants have when taking Curcuminoid Standardized Turmeric Capsules? Researchers will compare Curcuminoid Standardized Turmeric Capsules to a placebo to see if Curcuminoid Standardized Turmeric Capsules works to treat Osteoarthritis Genu. Participants will: * Take Curcuminoid Standardized Turmeric Capsules or a placebo every day for 3 weeks * Visit the clinic once every week for checkups and tests * Keep a diary of their symptoms and the number of times they use a rescue paracetamol
Evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of standardized curcuminoid from turmeric extract to TNF-Alpha, Interleukin-1 and CRP in elderly patients with Osteoarthritis Genu. This research is also to evaluate the effect of acupressure and standardized curcuminoid from turmeric extract vs placebo at three weeks : Knee pain as measured by the VAS score. Study design is randomized controlled trial, double-blind to assess efficacy, tolerability, and safety curcuminoid versus placebo. Patients can be pre-screened for specific x-ray and laboratory parameters. Eligible subjects will enter the washout for one week following a screening visit. After the washout period, eligible subjects will be randomized and treated for three weeks. The total duration of the study is up to 5 weeks. The primary efficacy variable is the number of TNF-Alpha, Interleukin-1 and CRP in blood, collected at Week 4 to BL (i.e., change from BL in the number of Leukocytes at Week 4). It will be analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test or paired t-test and the Mann-Whitney U test or independent t-test. The significance level will be set at 0.05. All outcome measures will be recorded at baseline and after two weeks of intervention

Samples were made from extracted turmeric and then optimized. The capsule formulation is made from turmeric rhizome extract which contains 30 mg of curcuminoids per capsule. In the study, standardized curcuminoid turmeric extract was given in capsules at 30 mg 3 times a day for 3 weeks
The capsule formulation is made from maltose which contains 10 mg of curcuminoids per capsule. In the study, the capsule was given in capsules at 30 mg 3 times a day for 3 weeks.

Secretion of TNF Alpha
TNF alpha is a cytokine, a protein that plays a role in the immune system and inflammation. TNF alpha is produced by various types of cells, particularly activated macrophages, and plays a role in various biological processes such as inflammation and immunity against infection. The cytokine TNF alpha is an essential mediator in increasing the inflammatory response, which can be detected in the blood plasma of patients with Osteoarthritis. The TNF alpha examination was conducted using the Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method on blood plasma
Time frame: 3 weeks
Secretion of the Interleukin-1
Interleukin-1 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a key role in immune and inflammatory responses, produced primarily by macrophages. IL-1 can cause fever, increase blood vessel permeability, and trigger bone and cartilage damage. The cytokine Interleukin-1 is an essential mediator in increasing the inflammatory response, which can be detected in the blood plasma of patients with Osteoarthritis. The Interleukin-1 examination was conducted using the Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method on blood plasma
Time frame: 3 weeks
Secretion of C Reactive Protein
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a blood marker for inflammation in the body, produced by the liver in response to infection, injury, or autoimmune conditions. A simple blood test measures CRP levels, with higher concentrations indicating greater inflammation. C-reactive protein (CRP) is measured with a blood test to detect and monitor inflammation in your body. A blood sample is taken from a vein and analyzed in a laboratory to determine the CRP level. The results are reported in milligrams per liter (mg/L), and higher than normal levels indicate inflammation that may be caused by infection, injury, or a chronic condition.
Time frame: 3 weeks
Change of Pain
Therapy effectiveness is the ability of a given treatment regimen to suppress several expected outcome indicators. Other outcome indicators were measured before starting therapy and after 3 weeks of therapy, including knee pain, as measured using a VAS score. Pain is expressed on a scale of 0 to 10, with higher numbers indicating more severe pain.
Time frame: 3 weeks
