Maybe I'm a natural skeptic, but I'm a little suspicious of this claim. Do not have a link to a clinical trial where this was studied?

Jim, Yes, bioavailability is an issue so we only use the highest quality we can afford.
The first link posted referenced this study...https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4510144/
Quotations from study...
This study reports for the first time that addition of curcumin to FOLFOX-based chemotherapy enhances efficacy in patient-derived CRLM cultures.
Greater pro-apoptotic and CSC targeting efficacy was observed for curcumin than for oxaliplatin and 5-FU in a small patient subset, warranting further investigation to determine factors that influence response to curcumin. For the first time, safety and tolerability for curcumin in combination with FOLFOX chemotherapy are reported. A randomised phase II study comparing participants receiving FOLFOX only with those receiving FOLFOX + curcumin is currently recruiting.
That's quite a bit different than stating that curcumin is 3 times more effective than chemo alone.
