Effects of Turmeric and Devils Claw on Horse Stomach Health

Updated August 16, 2024

At SmartPak, horse health is at the core of everything we do. That’s why we brought in Dr. Frank Andrews, LVMA, from Louisiana State University to talk with Dr. Lydia Gray, SmartPak Staff Veterinarian and Medical Director, about the research study he did for SmartPak on the safety of the ingredients turmeric and devil’s claw as it pertains to stomach health in horses.

Listen to the two of them discuss how the study worked, what turmeric and devil’s claw are commonly used for, and most importantly, the results of the study!

Dr. Andrews has extensive experience in researching equine stomach health dating back to the original study of omeprazole (GastroGard) on horse’s stomachs, as well as the study he performed on SmartGut Ultra.
