What makes the theses natural ingredients helpful for such a variety of conditions??
Lets start with Turmeric, a source of curcumin:
Anti-inflammatory Effects
Curcumin is a potent anti-inflammatory agent. This property makes turmeric useful in treating conditions where inflammation plays a key role
Antioxidant Properties
Turmeric exhibits strong antioxidant capabilities. As an antioxidant, it can:
Neutralize free radicals
Increase antioxidant enzymes
Inhibit lipid peroxidation
These effects help protect cells from oxidative damage, which is associated with various chronic diseases and aging.
Antimicrobial and Antiviral Actions
Curcumin has demonstrated antimicrobial and antiviral properties in research studies. This makes turmeric potentially useful in fighting off various infections, including viral illnesses like papilloma virus, influenza, and others.
Anticancer
Studies have shown that curcumin may have anticancer properties. It has been observed to:
Contribute to the death of cancerous cells
Reduce angiogenesis (growth of new blood vessels in tumors)
Reduce metastasis (spread of cancer)
Neuroprotective Effects
Curcumin's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, combined with its ability to boost brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), make it potentially beneficial for brain health. This could help in:
Improving memory and cognitive function
Potentially slowing the progression of neurodegenerative diseases
Metabolic Effects
Curcumin can help regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity.
What about Frankincense?
Frankincense, derived from the resin of Boswellia trees, not often found in horse supplements, offers several potential health benefits:
Anti-inflammatory Properties
Frankincense contains boswellic acids, which have potent anti-inflammatory effects. This property makes it potentially useful for:
Arthritis: It may reduce pain and stiffness in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Inflammatory Bowel Conditions: It might improve symptoms of ulcerative colitis and other digestive issues.
Respiratory Health
Frankincense has been traditionally used to treat respiratory conditions:
Asthma: It may help reduce asthma symptoms by preventing the production of leukotrienes, which cause bronchial muscle constriction.
Bronchitis: Traditional medicine has used it to treat bronchitis.
Skin Health
Frankincense oil may benefit skin health by:
Reducing irritation and redness.
Improving skin elasticity and potentially reducing the appearance of wrinkles1.
Immune System Support
Some studies suggest that frankincense may boost immune system activity, potentially improving the body's response to germs and infections1.
Anticancer Properties
Studies indicate that frankincense might:
Help kill certain cancer cells.
Slow the growth of tumors.
Next, Vitamin C!
Vitamin C offers several important benefits for horses:
Antioxidant Properties
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect horses from oxidative stress by:
Neutralizing free radicals
Preventing cellular damage
Immune System Support
Vitamin C plays a crucial role in supporting equine immune function by:
Enhancing antibody formation
Stimulating immune system activity
Helping fight off infections and diseases
Collagen Synthesis
Vitamin C is essential for collagen production, which is important for:
Maintaining healthy skin, joints, and connective tissues
Supporting wound healing
Promoting bone and blood vessel integrity12
Stress Management
During times of stress, horses may benefit from vitamin C supplementation:
Helps combat the effects of physical and environmental stressors
Supports immune function during intense training, competition, or transportation
Now for Rosemary 🌿
Rosemary offers several potential health benefits for horses:
Digestive Support
Rosemary has a calming effect on the digestive system, which can:
Support overall digestion
Soothe the stomach
Circulatory Benefits
One of the primary benefits of rosemary for horses is its positive impact on blood circulation:
Stimulates and improves blood circulation
Particularly helpful for horses with reduced movement due to injury or stabling
Liver and Kidney Support
Rosemary may contribute to the health of vital organs:
Supports the cleansing function of the liver and kidneys
Rich in antioxidants, which can help protect liver cells
Immune System Enhancement
Rosemary can help boost the horse's overall health:
Contributes to better resistance against diseases
Contains vitamins A, which supports immune function
Stress Management
The herb may have calming properties that can help horses:
Balance emotions
Control mood swings
Relieve stress
Manage nervous exhaustion
Because of the above benefits, Rosemary has been banned from FEI competition horses. Please use appropriate precautions if your horse is active in FEI competition sports. We recommend stopping administration at least 7 days prior to competition.
On to Flaxseed!!
Flaxseed offers several health benefits for horses:
Skin and Coat Health
Flaxseed is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which:
Improves skin and coat condition
Reduces dry, flaky skin and itching
Promotes a shiny coat
May help alleviate allergic responses like sweet itch
Joint Health
The omega-3 fatty acids in flaxseed have anti-inflammatory properties that can:
Contribute to joint health
Help alleviate joint discomfort
Digestive Health
Flaxseed contains high fiber content, which:
Improves digestion
Helps keep the digestive system functioning properly
May reduce the risk of colic
Immune System Support
Flaxseed contains nutrients like Vitamin E that:
Have antioxidant properties
Support the horse's immune system
Metabolic Benefits
Flaxseed can support horses with metabolic issues:
Low in sugar and starch, making it safe for horses with insulin resistance or Cushing's disease
Provides a good source of energy without excess non-structural carbohydrates
Other Benefits
Serves as a source of essential fatty acids that horses cannot produce on their own
Aids in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K)
Provides a good source of protein, improving overall protein quality in the diet
May help reduce inflammation in various body systems
Last, but not least, Black Pepper
Black pepper offers several important benefits for horses when used in conjunction with turmeric supplements:
Enhanced Absorption
The primary benefit of black pepper for horses is its ability to enhance the absorption and bioavailability of turmeric:
Contains piperine, the active ingredient that improves turmeric's bioavailability
Helps horses derive maximum benefit from turmeric supplements
Improved Efficacy
By increasing the absorption of turmeric, black pepper indirectly contributes to:
Enhanced anti-inflammatory effects
Better antioxidant properties
Improved joint health support
More effective digestion aid
Preservation of Active Compounds
Synergistic Effects
When combined with turmeric and a fat, black pepper contributes to a more comprehensive supplement:
Supports overall health and vitality in horses
Aids in maintaining freedom of movement
Contributes to a healthy immune system
May help soothe skin issues
