What I should have said is that they (or at least the one my wife tried) seem to reduce cortisol. Whether they do anything for weight loss or not, I have no idea.
For my wife, it reduces anxiety, presumably from cortisol reduction. But there are a dozen different ingredients and I don't trust such combinations. Too many possible problems. So I thought I'd ask about it.
BTW, the link Greg posted seems to have a lot of info on curcumin that might be worth a look.

However, many of these so-called cortisol reducers / blockers in all reality do not do what they claim. First off, the whole link between cortisol and fat gain originates from a study done back in 1980 in where the researchers made a connection between high levels of cortisol in the subjects urine and the percentage of body fat gain on them.
