Equine America Turmeric Offer 50%

[Birker2020]

Just bought the following from the EA website and they have applied an offer of 50% off Turmeric when buying Glucosamine.

1 x GLUCOSAMINE HCI 12,000 - Premium Quality: 1kg
1 x TURMERIC XTRA 3KG - Premium Quality

The two items including next day FREE delivery have come to £26.00 which I think is pretty good. Just thought I'd give you the heads up.
The Turmeric is premium quality and had black pepper and linseed oil added.

I was looking at this too as it seems a fab deal, but don't want a joint supplement containing dextrose :-(
The other consideration is that it's providing 'at least' 3% active curcumin, whereas others are 5% and above - nothing's ever straighforward in the supplement world........... just depends what you're looking for!

I know what you mean! You just get either bamboozled trying to work out doses or bogged down in the science of it all.

I am trying to guess how to work out a formula for working out how many days a supplement will last for when your horse is not the standard 500kg.
Does anyone know the answer to this please!?

I give my girls a turmeric from a company called Totally Turmeric (called Turmeric Complete), it is turmeric, ground black pepper and micronised linseed.

As far as i know turmeric needs black pepper and oil (linseed) in order to be utilised as good as it can be.

I work out the gram/mg per 100kg e.g. 35xx for a 500kg horse = 7xx per 100kg of horse, then times that by, say 5.65 for a 565kg horse or 4.27 for a 427kg horse - does that help? (xx can be mls or grams etc)

I always thought the pepper had to be freshly added at each feed? But am vey happy to be wrong as this seems a far easier way to feed Turmeric!

I was under that impression but I think it's an old wives tail. But I was also under the impression that Glucosamine was only ever effective when chrondroitin was present and the two worked better together but that seems to be an old wives tail too.

Yes that's true - this supplement does contain both. I already feed little linseed pellets so I may have to cut those out as linseed can be quite fattening although I doubt it would contain enough to make any difference in a turmeric supplement.

I am a member of a huge Turmeric group on Facebook, everyone on the group says it must be fed with black pepper and linseed to maximize consumption of the turmeric. As well as Totally Turmeric online. I spoke to her when my gelding was sore and she recommended this. (has black pepper and linseed in it, 4kg for £15.99. Not sure if it works out any cheaper but was a high quality Turmeric)

It made no difference to mine (Boswellia did though!) but I was under the assumption there was no point feeding it without black pepper and linseed. Happy to be proved wrong, but thats what I was told?

Thanks for that I will look into it.
