Immunex-Plus is recommended for all horses with pre existing immune system problems or for when the immune system is under extra pressure, such as when competeing. It is a valuable tool for supporting peak fitness and should be fed whenever compromised immunity and health is indicated. Because it acts as an imuno stimulant it can also be used extremely effectively as a preventative where illness is present on a yard or in a field that your horse is in. It will help boost your horses antibody levels and act as a preventative to cross infection. Whether for the adult horse or youngster Immunex-Plus provides unique and powerful immune support when the body needs is most.
Echinacea Purpurea
is the herbal 'superfood' for your horse’s immune system. It is one of the most widely used herbal remedies in both the human and veterinary world. Immunex-Plus contains an exceptionally high level of Echinacea extract in which the concentration has been further enhanced by the extractive process. Traditionally used for its beneficial effects on the immune system, research in the USA has shown Echinacea to be effective both in tissue regeneration and to help with the body's ability to reduce an inflammatory response. One of the major features found in feeding Echinacea to horses is the enhanced stimulation of white blood cells into areas of infection and the optimisation of the size and quantity of red blood cells. It has been concluded that Echinacea effectively acts to support equine immune defence and would be recommended for horses under stress, or to maximise support through heavy workload and performance.
Antioxidants Vitamin C + E
are vital for the immune system. They act to maintain normal muscle function and 'mop up' tissue damage resuting from exercise as well as promoting the recovery and repair of all muscle cell membranes. The ill or injured horse is often stabled and it is here that these vitamins are especially important. Reduced access to grazing causes vitamin E levels to drop dramatically and this, coupled with the fact that immune system development and function rely on vitamin E, makes dietary supplementation for ill or stressed horses more critical.
