Description
Equi-Sea for horses is a strong antacid. Antacids are used routinely in the diet of active performance horses (racing, eventing, showing, or western) to help alleviate the irritation caused by stomach ulcers. Stomach ulcers usually occur in the non-glandular mucosa of the stomach, which lacks adequate protection against the harmful effects of stomach acids.
The active ingredients in Equi-Sea for Horses reside in the calcified skeleton of red seaweed (Lithothamnion calcareum) which grew in the pollution-free, mineral-rich waters of Iceland and southwestern Ireland.
Equi-Sea for Horses has a unique structure. The open and porous structure of Equi-Sea for Horses provides a high surface area to volume ratio allowing for greater contact with the digestive juices in the stomach than calcium carbonate. Furthermore, the high bioavailability of the calcium and magnesium in Equi-Sea for Horses improves the absorption of these essential minerals for healthy skeleton growth, development and maintenance. Calcium is also essential for proper muscle integrity and function. Equi-Sea is available in a convenient pelleted form.
