Benefits of Using Turmeric for Cats Daily
What goes into your cat’s body every day will make a difference when it is time to fight a disease, or when they already have one. That’s why NHV supplements are designed to be given each and every day for things like:
Joint Support: can be used for supporting cats with arthritis due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
Cancer Support: can cats with cancer use turmeric? Yes! Turmeric can be used as a companion supplement to veterinary care for cats who have cancer. In fact it can help scavenge for free radicals and is rich in antioxidants.
Discomfort Support: may help to ease discomfort related to inflammation, like the kind caused by arthritis, cancer, or other inflammatory conditions.

Healing Properties of Turmeric
Turmeric itself is a root with vibrant orange-golden flesh. It’s golden in the world of herbalism for pets with its many healing properties.
- Can help arthritic conditions due to its anti-inflammatory properties and COX2 inhibitors
- Can support autoimmune disorders by potentially improving the signaling pathways of immune cells
- Can benefit cats with cancer due to its antioxidant content
- Can support liver disorders through detoxification
- Can support heart conditions through improved circulation
- Can help to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) which cats are prone to
- Can help reduce the risk of blood clotting
One of turmeric’s most well-recognized healing properties is its antioxidant content. Antioxidants can help scavenge for free radicals, which are unstable molecules that cause damage to the cells. The free radical scavenging properties of turmeric can support the body in processing and removing these molecules, minimizing the damage they can do.
