||SNACK|| VEGDOG's Golden Paste

Everyone talks about this great spice and is impressed by its many health-promoting effects.

It is considered an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. It is also said to have positive effects on digestion, the cardiovascular system, and on dementia and diabetes. What is particularly interesting is that the yellow wonder tuber is said to have a preventive and inhibitory effect against cancer. This has already been proven by several studies.

The substance curcumin is responsible for all of this. Unfortunately, it is only present in very small amounts in turmeric. In addition, its bioavailability is extremely poor. This means that the body can only absorb and ultimately process very, very small amounts of curcumin.

In order to still benefit from the positive effects, we increase the usability by producing the Golden Paste.

Both the coconut oil and the substance piperine contained in pepper, in combination with heating, increase the bioavailability of curcumin.

For the Golden Paste we need:

• 60g ground turmeric or 100g fresh turmeric root (Please make sure that turmeric products are suitable for dogs. Some human preparations contain polysorbate 80 and are therefore not suitable. Polysorbate 80 can cause an allergic shock in dogs.)
• 300ml hot water
• 50-70ml coconut oil
• a pinch of ground pepper

The turmeric powder or the root chopped in a blender is boiled with 300ml of water. Then the temperature is turned down. If you use low heat and stir constantly, a thick paste will form after a few minutes. Then add coconut oil and pepper and stir in. The resulting golden paste will keep in the fridge for about 2-3 weeks.

Dosage:

• small dogs ¼ teaspoon per day
• medium dogs ½ teaspoon per day
• large dogs 1 teaspoon per day

These amounts should be divided into at least two portions (preferably mixed into the main meal).
