TuckersBoost Pork Broth

A red-meat protein, nutritionally similar to beef and fattier than poultry. The meal form is the concentrated one; fresh pork is mostly water. Pork is less commonly reported as a pet allergen than beef, chicken or lamb, which has made it a useful alternative protein. Pork liver, plasma and fat appear under their own names.

A spice added for color and for its curcumin, a compound studied for anti-inflammatory effects. In people and lab animals curcumin is poorly absorbed unless paired with black pepper or fat, and the amounts in a pet food are far below those used in supplement studies. It is safe and gives kibble a warm color, which is most of what it is doing here; the joint and anti-inflammatory claims rest on doses far higher than a food provides.
