Theracumin study (TS): https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/bpb/36/11/36_b13-00150/_pdf/-char/en https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/bpb/36/11/36_b13-00150/... In TS table 3 shows the Cmax was 25.5ng after 30mg of theracumin. In PS table 2 shows the Cmax was 180ng after 2000mg of curcumin + 20mg of piperine (the table says 2g/kg but after reading the Materials and Methods section I believe this is just a typo. 2g/kg would be a ton of curcumin). So comparing the two, it seems that Theracumin was absorbed 10x more per mg consumed. Of course, the question is if you consume equal amounts of Theracumin and Curcumin + Piperine, would the absorption rate hold, which we can't answer, but seems pretty promising.
