NuVena Herbs – Dandelion 1kg

Dandelion is a common plant in temperate climates across Europe, and one of the most valuable herbs to include in a horse’s diet. In the wild, horses would naturally consume large amounts of dandelion thanks to its abundance in diverse pastures. For horses without access to rich, multi-species grazing, regularly adding dandelion to the diet is highly recommended.

Dandelion has a general revitalizing effect on the body. It is especially appreciated for its supportive action on the urinary system, enhancing kidney filtration and promoting the excretion of toxins and metabolic waste through the urine.

Its primary benefits, however, lie in the digestive system. Compounds in dandelion stimulate the secretion of saliva, gastric juice, and bile, thereby aiding digestion and nutrient absorption. It also supports liver function—studies in rats have confirmed dandelion leaf extract can help prevent liver damage and reduce inflammation.
