This Golden Paste Recipe Just Got Better

This modified Golden Paste recipe for dogs uses five simple ingredients: turmeric, green tea, olive oil, ginger, and freshly ground black pepper. In this video, Dr. Andrew Jones shows exactly how to make it, how much to give, and why each ingredient is included.

Turmeric provides curcumin, the active compound widely studied for its anti-inflammatory effects. Green tea adds EGCG, while olive oil helps improve turmeric absorption and provides beneficial fatty acids. Ginger adds more natural anti-inflammatory support, and freshly ground black pepper helps increase curcumin absorption.

Dr. Jones walks through the full recipe: 1/4 cup turmeric, 1/2 cup green tea, 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger, and 3 tablespoons olive oil. The mixture is simmered into a thick paste, cooled, then stored in the refrigerator or frozen in smaller portions.

He also explains a starting dose of about 1/4 teaspoon per 20 pounds of body weight once daily, with the option to increase gradually if your dog tolerates it well.

This updated Golden Paste for dogs may be useful for senior dogs, joint stiffness, inflammation, mobility support, and overall wellness. It is a simple homemade option for pet parents looking for natural support.
