📌 Top TIp
Horses can have their own opinions (and strong tastebuds!), so now and then a new blend might need a little extra encouragement. This doesn’t reflect the quality or efficacy of the product, but rather their natural instinct towards new flavours.

Overview
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.
