Turmeric is more than just a spice—it’s a powerful herb with incredible benefits for your horse’s health. 🌿
You may have seen our last post about how turmeric may support pain management (and even reduce the need for Bute in some cases). Today, let’s talk about something even more eye-opening:
👉 Emerging research suggests turmeric (specifically curcumin, its active compound) may help limit tumor growth—including sarcoids, melanomas, and carcinomas—in three key ways:
✔️ Disrupts abnormal cell replication✔️ Restricts tumor blood supply✔️ Neutralizes harmful mutagens and carcinogens
✨ Even more impressively, turmeric may boost your horse’s natural detox pathways by enhancing liver function and antioxidant capacity.
That’s why turmeric is a key ingredient in all of our formulations—and why our customers love products like Equi-Sarc, Gray-Out, and Lifespan for supporting horses with skin irregularities or abnormal cell growth.
