HOW DOES THIS SUPPLEMENT SUPPORT MY HORSE'S IMMUNE SYSTEM?
This is a whole foods supplement where we have specifically chosen foods that provide immune support for your horse.
- Spirulina is best known for its ability to modulate the immune system by promoting an anti-histamine response to a variety of environmental irritants. Not only does Spirulina have incredible immune modulating properties, it also supports gastro-intestinal health. New research suggests Spirulina has the potential to ameliorate gastric ulcers.
- Manuka Honey also supports proper immune responses but is best known for its antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. Methylglyoxal (MGO) has also been identified as efficacious in protecting the mucosal lining of the intestinal wall. We use +16 UMF grade to ensure a beneficial level of MGO.
The combination of these foods with chia provides excellent immune support for your horse.

CAN I FEED THIS TO MY METABOLIC HORSE?
Yes, please do! All of our products provide horses with a quality, digestible protein, 19 of 22 amino acids, and a 3/1 balance of Omega 3’s to 6’s while keeping the ESC and Starch levels below recommended levels.
MY HORSE IS METABOLIC AND HAS IMMUNE ISSUES. DO I NEED TO FEED THE PRICKLY PEAR CHIA AND THE SPIRULINA CHIA?
No; Spirulina has also been found to help support normal glucose levels in the body. If your horse needs the benefits of both products we recommend the Spirulina Chia supplement. If the immune issue occurs during a particular season, start your horse on the Spirulina Chia one month before you would start to see issues and maintain them on the product throughout that particular season. Once you are out of that particular season (usually winter time or the colder months) you can switch to the Prickly Pear Chia if you would like to.
DO I NEED TO WEAN MY HORSE OFF OF THIS PRODUCT OR SLOWLY INTRODUCE IT?
No, it is just food so there is no need for a weaning or slow introduction.
I TRIED FEEDING SPIRULINA TO MY HORSE BEFORE AND HE WOULDN'T EAT IT. WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT?
We recognize that straight spirulina is unpalatable to some horses. We purposefully combine chia with +16UMF Manuka honey to create a sweet and synergistic combination that allows us to use a lower dose of spirulina for amplified results.
