Why spirulina?
Spirulina : is a microalgae that appeared on earth about 3 billion years ago, it is at the origin of both the plant and animal kingdoms.
It is recognized for its exceptional nutritional qualities.
"It is the richest Food naturally present on Earth" (according to UN and FAO).
- More than 60% Protein and all Amino Acids
- Powerful Anti Oxidants and Anti-Free Radicals (Cell Protector)
- Mineral Salts and Trace Elements with excellent Bioavailability: In particular Iron and vit B12.
- Vitamins A, D, E and all vitamins Gr B (B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, B12..)
- Omega 3, 6 and 9 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids
- Enzymes involved in cell protection (SOD)
- Pigments including Chlorophyll, Beta-Carotene (precursor of vitamin A) and Phycocyanin, blue pigment of Spirulina with exceptional virtues.
Warning :
The virtues attributed to spirulina and phycocyanin, proven in humans and supported by hundreds of publications, suggest benefits of the same order in animals and especially in horses.
However, in view of very restrictive European regulations on horses, in the context of the fight against all forms of doping, the only authorized claims are those which have been the subject of specific studies on the said horses, i.e. say very little so far.
We are among the very few companies to have commissioned studies on the action of spirulina and phycocyanin on sports performance in horses, as well as on the stimulation of immunity, digestive comfort and improvement of the microbiota. equine.
Expected benefits for Horses of Spirulina and its major active ingredient Phycocyanin:
- Major pre and post exercise antioxidant
- Physiological "booster" effect during physical activity
- Reduction of muscle damage caused by physical exercise
- Influences the structure, diversity and action of the gut microbiota
- Reduces systemic inflammation associated with stress conditions in horses.
- Better tissue oxygenation and promotes the synthesis of Red Blood Cells
- Stimulation of immune defenses
