I have spent a bit of time looking into all the different joint supplements available as by old (ish) boy is starting to look and feel a little stiff.
I seem to have come across a lot of people & articles from all over the world who swear by Turmeric.
Being a natural herb i don't suppose it would do any harm to try, and the price is certainly appealing!
Is this something any of you have/would consider using?

Hi Emma,
I have been taking Turmeric tablets for over two years now. I was prescribed them by my consultant - he said they were great for reducing swellings and for joint pain etc etc.
I must say that since taking them my aches and pains are much reduced. How much you would give a horse - can't help you on that - but I take 3 tablets per day (obtained from a well known health shop)
I'm sure it would help your old boy but as with every product be careful of dosage.
Good luck. |

The majority i have read seem to feed 25ml scoop a day, some slightly less. May see if it is sold by any animal health shops that i could ring for advice...
Thank you

It would probably be cheaper if you bought from the Indian stores etc - you can buy it in bulk for cooking etc. Just checked my tabs - they are 400mg so I take 1200mg per day, but I'm on a high dose. My husband and daughter just take 400mg per day.
Can't do your boy any harm - so deffo worth a try. |

| Have found 450g for £5.75 inc postage on ebay. Will also have a look in our cash and carry to compare. As its powder they dont give a strength but do state its non irridated and non GM. |

Sorry to go off topic.
Jude, is that amount prescribed by your consultant an amount anyone can take for swollen joints (me)! I have just discovered Turmeric and can only seem to buy tablets that are 500gm.
Should I take two tablets per day?
I have yet to see a doc but my poor knees get very swollen and painful after my daily walks........just love getting old |

Was going to give Ali turmeric as is supposed to be good for sarcoids, chickened out after reading about them on Liverpool site though.
Lots of very positive stuff on the Natural Horse site though.
Sorry not very helpful |
