Immune Support is important to think about in the before and during the winter months. Older horses are especially susceptible to immune weakness in the winter time. Horses that are traveling south for the winter can greatly benefit from immune support before and after the long trip. Horses that are showing regularly and continually exposed to many pathogens may be in need of extra support.
Equilite’s Garli+C is a well rounded herbal blend for immune support, and the first of its kind. It was designed to be used regularly on a daily basis if you choose to do so. Garlic is considered to be one the most effective natural substances in the world. It can stimulate the immune system, increase resistance and boost the immune response to external pathogens and is naturally rich in sulfur.
Astragalus and Schisandra are "adaptogenic" herbs that help to support and normalize the immune system and can aid in increasing the body’s resistance to disease, stress and other debilitating processes. They help the body adapt to stresses from physical, mental, chemical and environmental sources.
Astragalus has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for 2000 years. It has antibacterial, as well as anti-inflammatory properties that marry beautifully with garlic and Schisandra. Schisandra is a Chinese tonic herb used in TCM as a lung astringent and kidney tonic. Historically, it was used to treat mental illness, night sweats, coughs, thirst, insomnia, chronic dysentery and physical exhaustion. The Chinese consider it an energy tonic that can be used to restore lost vitality.
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, which protects the body from free radicals and promotes good health. A touch of zinc has also been added to round out this blend.
