Group I: Open Label ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The intervention is twice daily dosage of Theracurmin 90 mg capsules. This same dose was used in a successful trial of patients with mild cognitive impairment. Theracurmin HP capsules containing 90 mg curcumin each that will be taken as one capsule twice daily for 6 months. Each capsule contains 300 mg Theracurmin enhanced bioavailable water-dispersible turmeric rhizome complex providing 30% curcumin (90 mg). The content of Theracurmin HP has been independently certified by NSF International under NSF/ANSI 173.
Group II: Healthy Control ArmActive Control1 Intervention
We will seek to enroll 50 healthy control participants. We will attempt to enroll one control subject from each enrolled primary participant's home, preferably a spouse or partner of similar age if possible. We plan to use this data to compare the microbiome of control participants to that of the ALS participants at baseline, week 4 and month 6. We will not conduct further follow-up or collect additional samples with the control subjects.
