Is ND's Curcimun+ Piperine the same as C3 curcimun?

I've noticed a lot of brands advertise a 1000mg 95% curcimun + 6mg 95% piperine product. Is ND's the same product as the other brands? I feel like I am getting better results with ND compared to Doctor's Best, but perhaps that is placebo.
Thanks.

Look at the label on most "curcumin" products out there. I mean, just look at all the top brands on Amazon. They almost universally use a bunch of tumeric, which is only 3% curcumin, then a little purified curcumin on top of that. Also, there are multiple brands doing that, but not labeling it properly. So you think you are getting 1,000mg of a 95% curcumin extract, but they only have like 150mg of curcumin, and the rest tumeric. Who's going to call them out on it? We've reported them to Amazon so many times. Amazon doesn't give a shit. I believe every curcumin product we bought on Amazon failed our testing. Just look at the #1 selling on Amazon: BioSchwartz. They pull that stupid tumeric spiking game AND they failed our testing on top of it. Plus, they are violating Amazon guidelines by giving free product for good reviews. So Amazon pulled it right away when we gave them the results and evidence, right? NOPE. They have over 41,000 reviews just on that one product... Totally organic, guys.
As for the Doctor's Best specifically, we have not tested that one. The C3 complex is just a normal 95% curcuminoid extract. There's nothing special about it. I would have to analyze it in the lab to see if it is meeting label claims. I guess it would surprise me a bit if Doctor's Best was doing the tumeric spiking thing, but I have been surprised a lot lately.
