Turmeric Powder / kg

Turmeric is a herb that riders and horses can benefit form as it is reported to increase vitality and wellness by stimulating enzyme activity of body cells and healthy liver. It also may increase the body’s ability to reduce free radicals. Glutathione levels are increased several times and this is the major antioxidant produced by animal cells directly neutralising free radicals and reactive oxygen compounds, which cause inflammation.

Being a vegetable food turmeric is accepted well by most horses with no side effects other than normal gut adjustments to a new food. It combines well with and accentuates the effects of antibiotics, steroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and the drugs used in Cushing’s disease. Diabetic animals fed turmeric’s active ingredient, curcumin, have been shown to not only have had a significant reduction of blood cholesterol levels but also of blood triglycerides and phospholipids (elevated levels of both are associated with the characteristic of diabetes).
