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

Original post in this thread

syot · 8 points

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.

Isnt c3 complex is patented and so produced and controlled by sabinsa, not doctor best?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · ND Owner

The raw material is a trademarked one from Sabinsa, yes. The patent covering C3 expired in 2016, and there are plenty of other extraction methods for creating a similar composition that were not affected by that patent. So the material is made by Sabinsa. However, Doctor's Best is the one actually manufacturing the finished good with said material. As I said, I would be surprised if a brand like Doctor's Best was cutting it with tumeric to save on costs, but I know other brands absolutely are. Those are usually the Amazon brands with the most reviews. I would have to test Doctor's Best's curcumin to know for sure. We have only tested one of their things, quercetin, and it passed our testing. So far they are okay, but that is just one test of one product. I used to use Doctor's Best all the time myself in the past. They were bought out by a Chinese company, but I don't have enough testing data on them to say if that adversely affected quality. I have no doubt the raw material is in spec from Sabinsa, since we have worked with them before, and I would imagine it is being properly manufactured from Doctor's Best. I just know smaller brands are certainly cutting with cheap tumeric to save on cost. So my quality warning was less about C3 and Doctor's Best specifically, and more about all the other shitty brands out there.

We almost never use maltodextrin in our formulations. We purposely avoid it, not because of compelling science, but because it is just easier to agree and move on than fight that fight. However, what most consumers don't

Potentially. We are also working with Indena on some new phytosomes that could be good in it, too.
