While the studies and research are ongoing, the suggested benefits of Turmeric and Curcumin are supported by evidence from various randomized controlled trials (RCTs) — the gold standard of research.
Many studies indicate that chronic inflammation may be a critical factor in developing heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's, and cancer. Curcumin has antioxidant properties that may help reduce inflammation in the body. In test-tube and animal studies, Curcumin has been shown to block specific biological pathways leading to inflammation.
As for Turmeric, several studies found that it may reduce knee pains and improve functioning in people with osteoarthritis. In another RCT, 120 overweight individuals took Curcumin supplements for three months and have witnessed reduced cholesterol levels.
Curcumin may also improve the quality of life for people with chronic kidney disease who are experiencing itchy skin. In one RCT, those taking Curcumin had decreased markers of inflammation and reported minor itching. Though less conclusive, other RCTs indicate Curcumin may play a beneficial role in heart disease, diabetes prevention, surgery recovery and irritable bowel syndrome.

While Curcumin has been touted to be a superfood, mainly due to its antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory properties, it's tough to meet the medicinal properties of Curcumin associated with it just by adding Turmeric to our food.
Turmeric used in everyday cooking does not have enough Curcumin, the critical ingredient attributed to the primary health benefits. In general, there is 3% to 6% of Curcumin content in the Turmeric. We use less than a gram of Turmeric powder in our daily cooking, resulting in very little consumption. The body does not absorb even that due to poor solubility and bioavailability. Hence, the body does not get enough supply of Curcumin with everyday food.
So, we may need to turn to supplements like Holistic Curcumin if we want to get the health benefits of Curcumin.

No, water-soluble and bioavailable are two different terms.
Bioavailable, by definition, is the proportion of a substance that enters the circulation when introduced into the body to have an active effect. In simple terms, how much and how quick your body can start using it.
A substance is water-soluble when it dissolves completely in water. Generally, water-soluble substances are also highly bioavailable, with very few exceptions.

Most conventional market products, even those of leading brands, offer you finely ground curcumin powder in their capsules and tablets. Just grinding powder-fine offers NO benefits at all. Our patented nano-technology ensures that the curcumin particle size is below 50 nanometers. This is what is required to provide that our ever-efficient metabolism does not throw out the Curcumin. What we do is relatively simple. We reduce the Curcumin to a particle size small enough to get past the digestive enzymes of the gastrointestinal tract and enter the bloodstream intact to elicit the health benefits.
Further, our patented precision technology ensures that the curcumin molecules reach the parts of the body, which need the therapeutic properties of Curcumin.
