Antioxidants
Research has shown that the lungs of horses with respiratory problems have lower levels of antioxidants than those of a healthy horse. Vitamin C is the most important antioxidant in the lungs and supplementary vitamin C, along with other antioxidant nutrients such as vitamin E, has been shown to improve the antioxidant status and function of the lungs in allergen affected horses. Antioxidants are being recognized as one of the most important nutraceutical groups for optimizing lung function because of their ability to mop up undesirable lung tissue attacking toxins from the system. In order to be fully affective it is essential that antioxidants such as vitamin C, are fed at a far higher level than provided in a standard broad-spectrum supplement.
Garlic
Garlic has been fed to horses for years to support the health of the lungs as the sulphur compounds in the herb work together to reduce excessive mucus levels. A recent study into the herb found that garlic appeared to have an inhibitory effect on the specific bacterial strains that can be detrimental to the equine respiratory system.
Bioavailable Sulohur
Repeated stress to the lungs can cause significant issues with the soft tissue. Bio-available sulphur is required by the body to form amino acids, the building blocks of soft tissue, and is also vital for the synthesis of antioxidants. Therefore, where symptoms of respiratory distress are present or where there is known history of the symptoms, feeding a natural form of sulphur is extremely beneficial and highly recommended.
