I found this at random when I was trying to search for that new fish oil drug they advertise to lower triglycerides (and they even say it does not reduce heart disease (it is a modified fish oil, not fish oil)

In order to patent the product, they could not just use fish oil. It has to be changed in some way to make patentable and therefore, more profitable. Not necessarily better in any way but just patentable.

This is why a women seeking hormone replacement therapy is almost always given Premarin, which is not a natural hormone, but one made from Mare urine. It is patentable, and therefore profitable.

Bio-identical hormones precisely match the original ones, but they are not patentable, so no pharma company is interested in producing them, and Wyeth has had a campaign to make them illegal. Their product is linked to cancer, and is clearly inferior, but it does make far more money than the superior identical hormone therapy that a pharmacy can compound for you.

It is usually about the money, not the best product.

Big Pharma realizes that cucurminoids in turmeric are powerful compounds and they are now trying to come up with synthetic ones so they can patent them and charge 5 bucks per pill.

It only surprises me that they have taken this long to do it.

Turmeric is one of my top five supplements. There is no other single plant that has so many benefits, although Ginger is pretty close.
