SPIRULINA (Certified Organic) *Natural gut deacidifier, mycotoxin binder, & allergy support
Spirulina, a blue green algae powerhouse, is one of the highest protein-rich foods in the plant kingdom. Known for its energising and detoxifying properties, Spirulina supports immunity, metabolism, muscle building, and respiratory health, while serving as an excellent hindgut mycotoxin binder and deacidifier.
Why choose Spirulina?
~ Unmatched nutrient profile
Delivers bioavailable protein, omega fatty acids, and a spectrum of vitamins and minerals to support overall health.
~ Gentle detox
Binds and removes harmful mycotoxins from the digestive system, helping to protect gut health and performance.
~ Immune and metabolic support
Enhances immune resilience and metabolism while promoting a balanced intestinal biome.
~ Allergy support
Spirulina is known for its anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating properties, making it beneficial for allergy support. It helps by balancing histamine levels and reducing allergic reactions, particularly in seasonal and respiratory allergies.
~ Proven performance
Backed by decades of use for horses, Spirulina offers effective, natural support for a wide range of equine health needs.
How it Works
~ Mycotoxin binder & gut protector
Spirulina binds to mycotoxins in the gut through adsorption, a process where harmful toxins attach to algae cell walls and are eliminated via the liver-bile-intestine route. This spares the kidneys and protects overall health.
~ Detoxification support
Spirulina is particularly useful during coat changes, a period of increased detoxification demand on the liver and kidneys. Its natural detoxifying properties support these organs, ensuring smooth biotransformation.
~ Energising and regenerative
Rich in bioavailable protein and essential nutrients, Spirulina helps maintain energy levels, supports recovery, and enhances overall vitality.
