What is turmeric?
Turmeric is the latest wonder herb from Southern India and is in the same family of herbs as ginger. The rhizome is the part of the plant that is eaten – this is the underground, horizontal stem, commonly termed the root. The therapeutic actions of turmeric have widely been attributed to compounds it contains called curcuminoids. These only account for 2-6% of the root’s content and the whole root provides activities superior to curcumin alone. By using the whole root in our supplements you get a whole host of other benefits from the other compounds that make up turmeric.
What are the benefits of using turmeric?
Historically turmeric is known for its naturally supportive properties in anti-inflammatory processes. There are many other benefits still being discovered, so watch this space!
Why Dorwest Turmeric Tablets?
*Easy to absorb*
Unfortunately, the proportion of curcumin that can be absorbed and enter the blood circulation following ingestion (the bioavailability) has been found to be low. By adding a compound found in black pepper called piperine (Bioperine) we have increased the bioavailability of the supplement.
*Standardised, traceable and sustainable*
Good quality turmeric and curcumin supplements for dogs and cats will contain a standardised amount of curcuminoids of 95%. Our Turmeric Tablets were made with this in mind. They are fully traceable and vigorously tested from source to end product to ensure a pure and consistent high quality. We only use sustainable sources, opting for turmeric grown using traditional small farming methods in Southern India.
Avoid using turmeric you see on the supermarket shelves – this is produced for taste, not the quality of the compounds.
