BIOCARE *Natural antimicrobial/antibiotic support for equine immunity

Horses rely on a robust immune system to stay healthy, fight infections, and recover quickly from illness. BioCARE’s carefully selected organic ingredients provide antimicrobial support - targeting bacteria, viruses, and fungi naturally.

This blend also promotes cellular health, aids blood purification, and encourages healthy circulation, working holistically to strengthen your horse from the inside out.

For the latest immunity insights, see our A-Z Equine Condition/Immunity page in the Advice Centre above.

🌿 Ideal for horses who...

• Are experiencing symptomatic infection, abscessing, or recurring microbial challenges such as rain scald or thrush.
• Need natural 'antibiotic' support to help rebalance the body’s microbial terrain.
• Have been on long-term medications that may compromise liver or immune function.
• Require nutritional support for the body’s own antimicrobial and cleansing mechanisms.

⚠️ Not suitable for horses who...

• Are receiving steroid or immune-suppressant medication (seek veterinary advice before use).
• Are on anticoagulant medications or known to have clotting disorders.
• Are pregnant or nursing mares (due to inclusion of active cleansing botanicals).

Comparisons

Which blend? BioCARE, LiverCARE, LKLCARE - each serves a distinct purpose:

→ BioCARE = antimicrobial immune cleansing and microbial terrain balance.
→ LKLCARE = gentle, entry-level detox for liver–kidney–lymph support.
→ LiverCARE = targeted liver enzyme and metabolic restoration.

For immune resilience with active antimicrobial (antibiotic) cleansing benefits, BioCARE is the better fit.

Each herb in BioCARE supports your horse’s natural balance and vitality, with cleansing botanicals which help sustain the body’s inner terrain as a natural 'antibiotic' alternative.

BioCARE is a nutritional food supplement and not veterinary medicine. For more on this, see Dr Kellon's article - Nutrition is not 'Alternative' Therapy .

Note from Carol Moreton, EquiNatural's Founder

In September 2014, just two weeks after Carmen came to live with us, and after suddenly appearing chronically lame in her field, our vet told us that our beautiful 7yo chestnut TB mare had developed joint sepsis in her fetlock from a historic infected wound we'd inherited.

The vet gave her only a 5% chance of recovery with antibiotics, and explained that if there was no improvement within 48 hours, we would have no choice but to have her PTS. A vibrant, sassy, full-of-life young mare we had only known for two weeks, now with a PTS prognosis. We were absolutely devastated.
