In a new peer-reviewed review published in Veterinary Research Communications, researchers highlighted studies showing that both turmeric🫚 (Curcuma longa) and rosemary🌿 (Rosmarinus officinalis) slowed the growth of canine mammary cancer cells🦠 on their own. But when combined, the effects were even stronger.
Researchers found rosemary appeared to help more curcumin, turmeric’s most studied active compound, accumulate inside cancer cells. The combination also triggered greater cancer cell death and activated additional pathways involved in cellular self-destruction.
The research highlights something fascinating: sometimes natural compounds work better together than they do alone.
Published in Veterinary Research Communications, a respected peer-reviewed veterinary journal, this review examined the latest evidence on plant compounds being studied for mammary cancer in dogs🐕 and cats🐈.
