I have now found that not only curcumin reduces the permeability of the BBB, but so does citicholine. A good review of citicholine is at
Citicoline: The Brain Protecting Choline Supplement
I took citicholine since it is given to stroke victims in the UK, and is said to assist brain metabolism. I did not know it also had a beneficial effect on the BBB. One bit of bad news, I don't think it is approved in the USA.
