How to Support Your Horse’s Immune System Naturally
Your horse’s immune system is the first line of defense against infections, allergies, and fatigue. Just like humans, horses benefit from added nutritional support—especially during times of stress, travel, weather changes, or recovery from illness.
Key Ingredients for Immune Health
- Vitamin C & E: Powerful antioxidants that support cellular repair and immunity.
- Garlic: Naturally antibacterial and anti-inflammatory.
- Omega Fatty Acids: Help reduce inflammation and support skin, coat, and immune function.
- Iron & B Vitamins: Boost energy production and red blood cell health.
