|| 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 has also been described as having positive effects on digestion, the cardiovascular system, and on dementia and diabetes. Of particular interest is the fact that the yellow wonder tuber is said to have a preventative and inhibitory effect against cancer. Several studies have already proven this.

Responsible for all this is the substance curcumin. Unfortunately, it is only present in very small amounts in turmeric. Added to this is its extremely poor bioavailability. 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 coconut oil and the substance piperine contained in pepper, when combined with heating, increase curcumin bioavailability.

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 products contain polysorbate 80 and are therefore unsuitable. Polysorbate 80 can cause allergic shock in dogs.)
• 300ml hot water
• 50-70ml coconut oil
• a pinch ground pepper

Boil the turmeric powder or the root, ground in a blender, with 300ml of water. Then reduce the heat. If you simmer gently and stir constantly, a thick paste will form after a few minutes. Then add the coconut oil and pepper and stir in. The resulting golden paste will keep for about 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator.

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).
