The Golden Paste Company TurmerAid Horse Supplement 2kg – for Joint Health, Digestion & Wellbeing

The Golden Paste Company TurmerAid – 2kg

TurmerAid is The Golden Paste Company's turmeric feed in pellet form — the same idea as their golden paste, but dry, measurable and simple to add to a bucket. Turmeric on its own is poorly absorbed, so the pellet carries black pepper and linseed oil alongside it, which is the combination the whole golden paste tradition rests on.

The Golden Paste Company list the ingredients as turmeric, linseed oil, freshly cracked black pepper, yucca and apple cider vinegar. They publish no typical analysis for the pellet, and they give the daily rate on a separate feeding guide rather than in their product information, so the figures below stop where their published information stops.

Performance & Benefits

• A complete turmeric pellet, so there is no paste to mix and no oil to measure at the bucket.
• Black pepper is included to aid the bioavailability of the turmeric.
• Linseed oil is included to help maintain a healthy, shiny coat.
• Yucca is included to aid digestion.
• Apple cider vinegar is included to increase palatability.
• Dry and free-flowing, so it stores and measures more easily than a paste.

Suitable For

• Horses and ponies already fed turmeric as a paste, whose owners want something simpler.
• Adding to any normal bucket feed or chaff.
• Yards feeding the same supplement to several horses.
• Feeding alongside forage and a balanced diet, not instead of one.
• Not a medicine and not a treatment for any condition — a horse that is lame or unwell needs a vet, not a supplement.

Feeding

• Add to the normal feed and mix through.
• The Golden Paste Company set the daily rate on their own feeding guide rather than in their product information, so follow the guide on the pack for your horse's weight.
• Introduce gradually over several days, as with any new feed.
• Feeding rates quoted on retail listings vary; the manufacturer's own guide is the one to follow.
• Supplied as a 2kg pack. How long it lasts depends on the rate the manufacturer sets for your horse's bodyweight.

Composition & Analysis

• Ingredients as published by The Golden Paste Company: turmeric, linseed oil, freshly cracked black pepper, yucca and apple cider vinegar.
• The Golden Paste Company publish no typical analysis for TurmerAid — no protein, oil, fibre or ash figures — so none is stated here.
• No curcumin percentage is published for the pellet. A figure of 5.1% curcumin appears on some listings, including this one previously; it is not on the manufacturer's published information.
• 2kg resealable pack.

Care & Caution

• The Golden Paste Company's published product information states no BETA NOPS or UFAS accreditation for TurmerAid. Claims of NOPS approval appear on some listings; check with the manufacturer before feeding to a horse competing under FEI or BHA rules.
