Case Study: Turmeric and Black Pepper for Horses

In this episode, the first case revolves around the Essential K Rebuild formula with turmeric and the question of black pepper being necessary for turmeric absorption. Dr. Rambo explains why black pepper is excluded from the horse formula due to its impact on nutrient metabolism and other safety concerns. A research study examining the effects of turmeric on muscle growth in horses is also highlighted.

The second case study addresses a 15-year-old horse's slow warm-up process, potentially due to arthritis or muscle issues. The episode explores the potential benefits of switching from Essential K to Essential K Rebuild, enriched with turmeric and higher amino acids, for muscle maintenance. Listeners are encouraged to reach out with their equine nutrition questions via various communication channels.
