Description
Natural Anti-Inflammatory & Joint Support – 100% Pure and Herbal
Keep your horse feeling supple, strong, and healthy with HorseBlends Turmeric Powder — a powerful, natural supplement celebrated for its wide-ranging benefits to joints, digestion, and overall wellbeing.
🌿 Why Horses Love It:
Turmeric is rich in curcumin, a potent natural compound known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It helps ease joint stiffness, supports recovery after exercise, and promotes a healthy digestive system. Many owners also use it to maintain healthy skin and a shiny coat.
🌍 Pure Origins:
Our turmeric is sustainably harvested from the rhizome of the Curcuma longa plant, traditionally grown in India. It’s finely ground and completely free from fillers, additives, or artificial colourings — just 100% pure turmeric.
⚠️ Note for Horse Owners:
Turmeric is generally very safe, but introduce slowly to your horse’s diet and always ensure adequate water intake. Consult your vet if your horse is on medication, pregnant, or has liver conditions.
