Summer time brings about a number of challenges for the horse, in particular to the immune system, flowering plants and trees produce a wide variety of pollen, all of which act as irritants to the immune system of the horse.
Equiform offer a number of products formulated specifically to support the horse during these challenges.
ExTox is a powerful detox product, containing an antioxidant complex, mycotoxin binder and Nucleotides to support the horse following exposure to Mycotoxins and air borne particles, such as pollen. Mycotoxins are present in cereals, grains, bedding, and even grass, and due to the nature of their digestive system, horses are particularly sensitive to Mycotoxins.
Continued Low level exposure to Mycotoxins has been found to have a negative effect on the immune system, digestive system & reproductive system, and ultimately will have a limiting effect on horses’ performance.
The blend of ingredients within ExTox provides additional support, the antioxidants included have been found to have a positive effect on blood antioxidant capacity, which is vital for fitness and performance. Additional support is provided with the inclusion of Nucleotides, conditionally essential nutrients that have been found to have a positive effect on the liver, an organ particularly important in maintaining the internal environment of the body.

Equicell, our flagship nucleotide product, is an ideal product for all horses at risk of immune challenge, fed daily, it supplies the building blocks for new cells, benefiting horses during training, competition & racing.
By supplying nucleotides daily, support can be offered should the horse experience a challenge
For horses sensitive to summer, or following a virus, Zynolix is an ideal supplement, B vitamins, copper, Iron and antioxidants have been combined to help support the horse after an immune challenge; it also has the benefit of ensuring effective metabolism, to help recovery after exertion, and to allow for correct production of RBC and Haemoglobin, vital for effective oxygen transport. Without correct oxygen uptake and transportation around the body the performance horse is at a disadvantage when recovering from stress & immune challenge.
If the horse has seen a change in performance following a weakened immune response feeding Zynolix helps support a speedy return to fitness.
To further support the immune system and lung function, which may be exacerbated by hot dry weather, pollen and dust, nutritional support is an easy cost effective way to support these horses and Stop Bleed has been specially formulated to provide support to those horses. High levels of nucleotides combined with the most powerful primary antioxidants offer optimum support to the immune system, with the nucleotides providing the building blocks for production of new cells.
Garlic Honey & Glucose is an ideal summer supplement, Garlic has been used since ancient times for its beneficial properties, supporting the respiratory system, encouraging the expulsion of mucus from the lungs. Garlic is also widely used to help discourage flies, and daily feeding may have a benefical effect during the summer months. Garlic & Honey is ideal for horses in all disciplines of work, breed and age and it will help to support the respiratory and circulatory systems, supporting overall health and well being.
