Curcumin

Curcumin (95% Turmeric Extract) – Natural Anti-Inflammatory Power for Dogs

Curcumin is the active compound found in turmeric root, and it's one of nature’s most powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents. While many dog supplements list turmeric on the label, few actually deliver therapeutic levels of standardized 95% curcumin extract — the form that truly matters.

🔥 What Does Curcumin Do for Dogs?

  • Reduces chronic inflammation in joints, muscles, and soft tissue
  • Helps manage pain associated with arthritis and aging
  • Protects against oxidative stress and cellular damage
  • Supports immune system balance and resilience
  • May provide cognitive and heart health benefits

🌿 Why We Use 95% Curcumin Extract (Not Just Turmeric)

Raw turmeric root only contains about 2–5% curcumin. That means most mainstream chew brands using "turmeric powder" are giving your dog only trace amounts of the actual active compound — not enough to have a real therapeutic effect.

At ZG Vitality, we use pure 95% standardized curcumin extract, delivering 200–800 mg per day depending on breed size. It’s concentrated, bioavailable (thanks to black pepper extract), and actually strong enough to make a difference.

🧠 Is Curcumin Safe for Dogs?

Yes — curcumin is very safe for long-term use when dosed appropriately and given with food. It has been studied in both humans and dogs, and has shown benefits ranging from joint comfort to reduced inflammation in chronic conditions.

To enhance absorption and reduce digestive upset, we always pair curcumin with black pepper extract (piperine 95%) — which increases curcumin’s bioavailability by up to 2,000%.

💥 How ZG Vitality’s Curcumin Stands Apart

  • ✅ True 95% curcumin extract — not raw turmeric powder
  • ✅ Dosed between 200–800 mg daily for full-body impact
  • ✅ Paired with piperine to ensure absorption
  • ✅ Delivered in powder form for cleaner nutrition — no sugary chews

⚠️ Quick Note About Staining

Curcumin is naturally bright yellow and can stain fabrics, countertops, or fingers if handled carelessly. We recommend mixing it directly into food or wet ingredients like bone broth or peanut butter. Handle with care — it’s worth it!

💡 Why Your Dog Needs Curcumin

If your dog deals with joint pain, stiffness, chronic inflammation, or age-related decline, curcumin is one of the most effective natural tools available. Unlike NSAIDs or painkillers, it supports the body’s natural response to inflammation without harsh side effects.

ZG Vitality includes curcumin not as a trendy add-on, but as a core anti-inflammatory powerhouse — because your dog deserves real relief, not marketing fluff.
