Although the horse’s respiratory system is challenged on a daily basis, from fungal spores, dust, and other tiny particles in their immediate environment, this can become worse at particular times of year, when pollen levels increase, adding to the respiratory challenge.
In addition, when working and competing, the lungs need to work harder, to provide increased levels of oxygen for energy production, and this can further exacerbate the health and performance of the respiratory system from environmental challenges, especially when pollen levels are high.
Most horses cope with these challenges, but there are occasions when a healthy respiratory system is overwhelmed by these tiny particles, which can irritate the sensitive lining or mucosa of the respiratory tract, including the lungs, and horses may start to show signs that their respiratory system is not working as efficiently as it should.
Targeted nutritional support can help support the horse’s natural defences against such challenges, and Pollen Eze contains a powerful blend of natural herbs and phytochemicals (active compounds from plants), known for their role in lung health and maintaining respiratory function. As well as high levels of natural antioxidants, Spirulina, Ginger and MSM help to support the horse’s own anti-inflammatory processes, as well as Eucalyptus, Peppermint and Menthol oils to help keep airways open. Polle Eze also contains Echinacea to help support the immune system.
(If you are concerned about your horse’s respiratory health, please contact your veterinary surgeon as well as considering nutritional support)
