Natural herbs have always been associated with healing and better health. Most ancient cultures relied on herbal preparations for medicinal treatment. Even today, many modern medicines are plant derived. Now, herbal products are enjoying a triumphant revival in treating horses. Armed with scientific research and proven studies, herbal products have reached a level of efficacy and practicality in equine health. More and more alternative therapies are showing efficacy over traditional medicine. Modern medicines have several shortcomings in their strategy:

Drugs can have contraindications or interfere with the absorption of nutrients.

Drugs can overwhelm the immune system so that the horse’s body depends on it.

The drug misleads the horse’s defense system to the point that it doesn’t know what to attack and it attacks everything in confusion–healthy and harmful cells.

Maintaining a strong immune system in your horse is not easy today. Daily exposure to environmental pollutants, the stress of competition and training, chemically treated feeds and forage, and the latest in infectious viral/bacterial mutations challenge your horse’s ability to stay healthy. The immune system defense is autonomic and subconscious. A system that works on its own to fend off or neutralize disease toxins, and setup a healing environment for the horse. The immune system is very sensitive to nutrition deficiencies. That is why we try to supplement before infectious disease sets in.

Herbal strategies try to enhance the natural immune system activity, strengthen it, and provide an environment through cleansing and detoxification for it to work at its best. Imuno-Guard™ is specifically designed to provide herbal ingredients, minerals, and vitamins in a daily supplement.

Originally used in fending off the Plague centuries ago, garlic is the best known and most used herb for the treatment of horses. Garlic is a natural expectorant, stimulant, antibiotic, and is an important agent in addressing viral infections, asthma, coughs, and bronchitis. Garlic, armed with the important sulfur compound, “Allicin,” stimulates the horse’s immune system to produce more white blood cells, which fight infections. It is also known for its ability to improve digestive function by supporting the production of natural gut flora while killing pathogens that harm the delicate digestive balance in horses. It also has been reported for effective fly control.

Ester-C®, a patented form of Vitamin C in a calcium metabolite so that it is pH buffered and non-acidic. Ester-C® contains threonate that allows it to be more rapidly absorbed and excreted slower from the body than the traditional form of Vitamin C, ascorbic acid. Vitamin C is involved in a number of biochemical processes. Namely, it’s antioxidant qualities and its ability to boost immune system function.
