Products for Horses

Which is how these synthetic supplements became so popular. But clever marketing is no substitute for thinking clearly and working with logic.

Most horse supplements currently on the market are made in a laboratory. This means they are isolated nutrients. They lack the complexity and balance of nutritious whole food. No living being evolved to digest and process a nutrient in isolation. Each nutrient is co-dependent on other supportive nutrients for full and complete digestion.

In addition, these nutrients are inorganic. This means they have strong bonds which don't break down during digestion. Your horse's body just doesn't know what to do with them. Hopefully, they will simply be excreted, costing you only money. But they can wreak havoc on a body too, hanging up in places they have no business to be.

It's easy to overdose these supplements, even within the recommended dose, as each horse's requirements are different.

Common problems from these inorganic substances are kidney stones, arthritis, anaemia and oddly, nutritional deficiencies. But this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Even naturally occurring minerals are inorganic, so can't be broken does by your horse. This includes "liquid minerals" and "colloidal minerals".

So what are the alternatives?

The best line for proper utilisation of minerals goes like this:-

natural minerals fertilise the soil, which grow healthy plants, which provide the full spectrum of nutrients for a healthy horse

So the best natural horse supplements are food, or plant based. But not just any plant. A superfood plant (or one exceptionally rich in all macro as well as trace nutrients).

Blue green algae is aphanizomenon flos-aquae, only grown in Lake Klamath in the US. It has profound health enhancing qualities from resolving infections, to hardening hooves to settling restlessness. This is not difficult to see once you realise they can all arise out of a nutritional deficiency.

Algae will take up any substances in the water, so you need to source the non-polluted variety. Lake Klamath algae is not farmed. This means it takes its nutrients from a naturally rich source - mineral rich mountain streams.

Because this natural horse supplement is a concentrated superfood, you don't need much to bring back balance to your horse.

Added bonuses of algae is that it has detoxing properties - a great advantage not only in our polluted environment, but also with a nuclear radiation leakage that is likely to be with us for years.

It is impossible to overdose on algae, because whatever the body doesn't need is eliminated naturally.

Natural Supplement for Horses Can Also Reduce Radiation Effects

Natural supplements for horses are becoming increasingly popular. People are beginning to realise the potential harm they can set up in their horses by using isolated and synthetic supplements, which are all too common.

Food should be the best source of all nutrition. Sadly, this is no longer the case. Most food grown today is nutrient poor. Modern farming methods focuses on quantity rather than quality.
