Default homemade bioavailability?

My reading of this indicates that for every 500mg of longvida, there are 200mg of curcumin, the other 300mg are lecithin and fatty acids....I did not know, as one place I read stated, that curcumin is not water soluble so must be ingested with a fat to be absorbed.

So why couldn't one just take their regular curcumin with some fish oil? Seems like that would be a lot cheaper (this stuff is sixty cents a pill according to one site I found and you need to take up to ten pills a day to get a dose of 1000mg of curcumin). Alternatively, sixty cents a pill is a lot less than some other PD meds, and no side effects. But still...

I don't have the link but longvida is being used by some for down syndrome and incredibly, those folks report some pretty impressive cognitive improvements in their loved ones who began taking longvida. You can google longvida and down's syndrome to find them.

Anyone think homemade would/wouldn't work?
