There are endless reasons why you may like to consume Curcumin. Whether it's digestion or your heart or joints or cancer that are your concern, Curcumin shall make it to the top of your list of daily supplements. However, many health benefits and good PR lead to an endless number of products, methods and statements, just as well. I like this product in particular, for multiple reasons. First, it's made via the Meriva methodology, which supposedly enhances bioavailability and absorption (compared with the std. C-3 complex or even compared with the BCM-95 method). Second, it's priced very well. Notice, however, that you only get 18-22% Curcuminoids. This is normal, though some top-notch products may provide you with much more than that. For instance, Thorne Research Meriva Curcumine provides 50% curcumonoids. I.e. each of their capsules provides you with 2.5 curcumonoids, compared with this product. If you "normalize" it / take this into consideration, then their product actually provides better value for money. However, their capsules are made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and I'm far from being a fan of that. In contrast, here you shall consume 2.5 capsules for each of their capsule. Either way, I'm happy with this product as I am consuming 3 Curcumin capsules daily, one with each meal: 1. This product. 2. LifeExtension's Curcumin (BCM-95 technology); 3. Solgar's (which offer their own methodology for enhanced bioavailability). When I consumed 1 capsule per day, I did not notice an impact on my body. However, as I increased the consumption to 3 capsules daily, I noticed improvement with my joints, mobility, and perhaps even digestion. Good luck!
