<\/p>\nHow many food sources for your horse do you know that provide the ability to rejuvenate the body, enhance energy levels, support tissue healing and repair, detoxify, support the immune response and potentially ward off dangerous cancer all in ONE?\u00a0 Spirulina blue green algae has been termed one of the many wonder foods of the world and has been used traditionally in many medicinal cultures to aid in the recovery of the ill and support overall health.\u00a0 Spirulina could be considered potentially the only food you could possibly ever need for your horse!<\/p>\n
Spirulina blue green algae is known to be one of the world’s best sources of all around nutrition.\u00a0 In fact, the algae has been used as a prime food ingredient in many cultures to sustain overall health as well as to prevent and aid in the recovery from malnutrition.\u00a0 Spirulina is grown across the world in many countries in various controlled ponds, as seen in the photo below, then harvested and processed.\u00a0 In its raw form, the algae is a dark green and sweet smelling powder.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
Medical research data has indicated that not only does Spirulina provide a high level of quality protein, vitamins and minerals in their natural form, but it has demonstrated the ability to detoxify the body by binding heavy metals and the potential to alter the progression of many forms of cancer.<\/p>\n
A couple of words regarding the processing of spirulina, primarily due to one of it’s natural properties.\u00a0 Spirulina has been shown in various human studies to have the ability to detoxify the body primarily through binding and removal of various heavy metals.\u00a0 By nature of its growth in ponds and due to heavy pollution of our environment, one has to be cautious about the heavy metals that Spirulina may contain in its raw form.\u00a0 In many instances, water run off into ponds could carry heavy metals as well as other pollutants, which could then be taken up by the algae.\u00a0 This is true of almost any algae species and one must use caution. If you purchase Spirulina, it is advisable to seek a certificate of analysis from the supplier to ensure its quality and safety.\u00a0 Our spirulina is all natural, containing no preservatives, dyes, pesticides or any radiation during processing.\u00a0 As with all of our ingredients, our spirulina is tested for heavy metal levels as well as microbial contamination prior to incorporating into our products.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
This blue green algae has been shown to have tremendous nutritive capabilities for starters.\u00a0 On analysis of 100 grams of spirulina the nutritive breakdown is as follows:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Nutrients are meant to be consumed in their natural forms, as often there are many co-factors found in various food sources that enhance absorption and assimilation.\u00a0 This is one key point that I have strived to communicate to horse owners over the years that are stuck using synthetic based vitamin-mineral and ration balancers<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0 They are not the same and create more harm than good.\u00a0 Nutrition should come from food, not synthetic supplements. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Spirulina blue green algae is one of the most important complete food sources known to man. In terms of other benefits, spirulina has shown the ability to aid in overall detoxification by binding heavy metals as well as other toxins that may be present in our bodies, as well as those of our pets and horses.\u00a0 Spirulina has also shown to have potent anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties, helps to support the immune system and overall cellular function. This blue green algae has also been shown to tonify the blood, improve brain and heart function, increase energy levels and also help to balance the gastrointestinal tract.<\/p>\n The clinical benefits derived by making Spirulina blue green algae part of your horse’s health routine can be incredible.\u00a0 Naturally occurring and readily digestible protein, vitamins and minerals help to enhance cellular function and energy production, but also support healing of tissues and generalized organ function, which may replace the need to take a synthetic vitamin\/mineral supplement daily.<\/p>\n Daily supplementation with Spirulina translates into:<\/p>\n The ONLY downside to daily Spirulina supplementation is the overall flavor.\u00a0 Spirulina has an algae or seaweed type of flavor.\u00a0 For people, it can be mixed with water, fruit juices, mixed with a protein smoothie or mixed with yogurt or oatmeal.\u00a0 For pets, it is best to mix with a variety of foods.\u00a0 Horses tend to eat Spirulina readily in most cases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n How many food sources do you know that provide the ability to rejuvenate the body, enhance energy levels, support tissue healing and repair, detoxify, support the immune response and potentially ward off dangerous cancer all in ONE?\u00a0 Spirulina blue green algae has been termed one of the many wonder foods of the world and has been used traditionally in many medicinal cultures to aid in the recovery of the ill and support overall health.\u00a0 It could be considered potentially the only food you could possibly ever need!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2524,"featured_media":617,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[447,211,205,383,219,208,589,246,590,204,382,222,242,389],"class_list":["post-268","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-equine-articles","tag-allergies","tag-cancer","tag-cur-ost","tag-dogs","tag-energy","tag-equine","tag-hoof-health","tag-horses","tag-inc","tag-nouvelle-research","tag-pets","tag-protein","tag-spirulina","tag-spirulina-blue-green-algae"],"yoast_head":"\nClinical Benefits of Spirulina to the Horse<\/span>:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
