• Contains fucoxanthin, a unique and powerful carotenoid found exclusively in algae.
• Boasts high levels of calcium and vitamin K, vital for bone health and more.
• Provides stable polyunsaturated omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in an approximately 1:1 ratio, supporting various bodily functions.
• Offers over 70 minerals and trace elements in their naturally chelated form, including rare elements like boron and silicon, ensuring optimal absorption.

When to Consider Adding Seaweed to Your Horse's Diet?

Seaweed can be a valuable addition for horses facing:

• Skeletal issues, such as arthrosis, spavin, or those at risk of osteomas.
• Fractures and bone cracks, to support healing and bone regeneration.
• Young horses with improper or irregular growth, aiding in healthy development.
• Inflammatory conditions of various origins.
• Horses prone to gastric and duodenal ulcers, to help buffer stomach acids.
• Horses with metabolic disorders like insulin resistance, Cushing’s disease, or Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS).

The Remarkable Benefits of Seaweed for Your Horse:

1. Potent Anti-inflammatory Properties: Recent research, including studies from University College Cork, has demonstrated that specific components in macroalgae significantly reduce the activity of cytokines – molecules that regulate immune response and inflammation. This indicates strong and natural anti-inflammatory effects.

2. Natural Stomach Acid Buffering: Thanks to its naturally high calcium content, seaweed acts as an effective buffer, helping to neutralize excess stomach acids and promote a healthier digestive environment.

3. Comprehensive Bone Metabolism Support: Seaweed actively promotes healthy bone formation by aiding proliferating cells in developing robust bone tissue. The fucoxanthin found in brown algae specifically enhances osteogenic activity, while the synergistic action of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin K contributes to efficient bone mineralization, making it particularly beneficial for growing horses and those recovering from skeletal injuries.

4. Metabolic Enhancement: As a superior natural source of iodine, seaweed directly supports optimal thyroid function and energy production, thereby positively influencing your horse's overall metabolism and vitality.

5. Assistance in Managing Metabolic Challenges: Studies, for example, on mice, indicate that Ascophyllum nodosum algae can help mitigate symptoms associated with metabolic diseases. This includes supporting healthy body weight, balancing blood glucose levels, reducing fatty liver, and alleviating systemic inflammation.

6. Fat Regulation and Management: Fucoxanthin, a key compound in seaweed, positively influences enzymes involved in fat metabolism. This can enhance the body's natural ability to burn adipose tissue and help control excessive fat accumulation, contributing to a healthier body condition.

7. Potential Anti-Cancer Properties: Emerging research suggests that fucoxanthin, upon conversion to fucoxanthinone in the body, exhibits promising anti-cancer properties, offering an additional layer of health support.

8. Rich Source of Vitamin K: Brown algae are an excellent natural reservoir of phytomenadione (vitamin K). This vital vitamin, often rare in nature, is crucial for normal blood clotting, optimal bone mineralization, and preventing vascular calcification through its activation of key proteins in the carboxylation process.
