Turmeric for horses (5.15% Curcumin) + Piperine

Turmeric, (Curcumin) as an equine supplement has gained a place as an aid to support healthy inflammatory processes in horses.

Turmeric is used as an aid to support the horse with;

• Healthy skin
• Healthy digestive system
• Allergies

You can feed it straight over their feed or make it into a paste. Make their feed quite wet, when feeding Turmeric. Other option is to make it into a paste. 

Golden Paste Recipe;

You make the paste by 1/2 a cup filtered water bring to a low simmer and mix in 1/4 cup of ground Turmeric, stir for 5 to 10 min till it forms a thick paste. (Add water if needed) Store this paste in your fridge, poor in ice cube tray and it will last for up to 2 weeks.  

Absorption rate of Curcumin is low, therefore it is advised to add Piperine, which is a natural extract from Black Pepper and enhances the absorption by 2000%. To enhance even better absorption it is advised to feed the horses oil at the same time as Curcumin is fat soluble.

No need to guess how much pepper to grind in horse feed as this mix contains the right ratio of Black Pepper Extract. (Black Pepper extract is 10% black pepper, 100% Piperine). 

Feed 1 tablespoon morning & night but start slowly over a period of a fortnight and mix each table spoon of Turmeric with 2 Table spoons of Oil.

As Turmeric can have an effect on Iron metabolism in the horses body, which may develop in Aneamia. Therefore it is not advisable to feed it to horses with a chronic disease or aneamia.

Not to be taken when in foal, lactating, on medication like Omeprazole or 2 weeks before an operation.
