Hello....I don't believe we've met... before.

I looked up your supplement and it is a simple curcumin powder in a capsule. The 95% cucuminoids does not imply the absorption of such only the content of the extract. Most of the quality extracts are of this potency. Curcumin is a part of tumeric.

The enhanced formulas we are discussing here are beyond the basic extract. For what you pay for your Vital Health product you could easily get more benefits by using one of the enhanced products which are in the same price range. You are paying a high price for an herb that other makers provide with less expense. This is just a recommendation to save you money and provide maximum response.
example:

These enhanced products are what are used in the studies. Curcugel for example has this history. And it is nice to see that the Longvita product is becoming more available and affordable.

For those wishing to directly deliver curcumin to the bowel for cancer prevention or local anti-inflammatory actions for Crohn's, the standard extract without enhancement would be probably the better choice.
