Dorwest Turmeric Tablets for Dogs & Cats 100 Tablets | 95% Curcuminoids

entrated extract containing a guaranteed 95% curcuminoids, the naturally occurring compounds associated with many of turmeric's recognised properties.

Each tablet contains 175mg turmeric extract, equivalent to an impressive 7,175mg of dried whole turmeric root.

That standardisation is particularly useful because the natural curcuminoid content of ordinary turmeric root can vary considerably.

Why Is BioPerine® Added?

One of the challenges with curcumin is that it naturally has poor bioavailability, meaning relatively little may be absorbed when consumed on its own.

Dorwest therefore adds BioPerine®, a standardised black pepper extract containing piperine.

Piperine has been studied for its ability to improve curcumin absorption, helping make the active compounds in the turmeric more bioavailable.

Basically, there's little point putting lovely ingredients into a tablet if the body waves most of them straight past the front door.

What Can Turmeric Support?

Turmeric has traditionally been used for its supportive role in the body's natural anti-inflammatory processes.

Dorwest particularly highlights its potential benefit for pets with troublesome joints, making Turmeric Tablets a useful addition to a wider joint and mobility routine.

They may be particularly relevant for:

• Adult and senior dogs
• Active dogs
• Working dogs
• Pets needing additional joint support
• Dogs and cats with demanding lifestyles
• Pets already using a wider joint-support routine
• Owners looking for a concentrated turmeric supplement rather than culinary turmeric

Turmeric is a complementary supplement and should not be used in place of veterinary treatment for pain, lameness or diagnosed joint disease.

Why Not Just Use Turmeric From the Supermarket?

Culinary turmeric is produced primarily for flavour and colour.

Dorwest's supplement instead uses a standardised extract containing 95% curcuminoids, allowing you to know the concentration of the active compounds being provided.

Dorwest also states that its turmeric is fully traceable and tested from source through to the finished product for purity, quality and consistency.

So while the spice jar is very welcome in a curry, I wouldn't treat the kitchen cupboard and a properly formulated pet supplement as interchangeable.

Safety Information

Not recommended during pregnancy or lactation.

Dorwest advises consulting your vet before giving turmeric if your pet is taking medication, particularly anticoagulant medication, or is due to undergo elective surgery.

Turmeric has reported anticoagulant properties and may not be suitable for animals with clotting disorders.

Use according to the manufacturer's feeding instructions.

Always ensure fresh drinking water is available.

If your pet is experiencing pain, persistent stiffness, lameness or a significant change in mobility, seek veterinary advice.

Amy's Tip 🐾

The thing I'd look at when comparing turmeric supplements is how much of the active curcuminoids you're actually getting, rather than simply seeing the word turmeric on the front.

Dorwest's extract is standardised to 95% curcuminoids and includes BioPerine® to improve absorption, so you're getting something specifically formulated as a pet supplement rather than simply adding a random spoonful of turmeric powder to dinner.

For a pet where joint support is the main priority, I'd also compare this with JointWell® or MoveWellia®. Turmeric can fit nicely into a wider routine, but those products are specifically formulated around joint nutrition.
