Turmeric has become very popular in recent years, and for a good reason. The herb is loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, the most notable of which is curcumin.
Curcumin is known for preventing toxins from turning into carcinogens, and it also promotes healthy cell growth and strengthens the body at the cellular level.
Over 10,000 peer-reviewed studies have researched the benefits of turmeric, and their findings are mind blowing.
TURMERIC FOR DOGS AND CATS
Turmeric is very beneficial for arthritic conditions in cats due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
Turmeric is also known to help cats with autoimmune diseases, liver disorders (increases detoxification of the liver) and heart and circulatory support. It can reduce the risk of blood clotting and help lower the bad cholesterol (LDL).
