Curcumin for Cancer in Dogs | Dr. Jessica Tartof

If you’ve researched supplements for dog cancer, you’ve come across curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric. Does it help, and how?

“Turmeric saved my dog” you’ll hear online. And it’s true that this dark yellow spice, used for thousands of years, has a host of benefits. But it’s really hard to get into the bloodstream, which means it has low bioavailability. Just how useful is it, really?

Dr. Jessica Tartof, an integrative veterinarian, joins us to explain why so many blends she recommends to her clients include curcumin … and why feeding your dog spice off the shelf might not be as effective as you hope.
