Kelp contains vitamins, amino acids and anti-oxidants that may help reduce instances of infection and illnesses. Technically, kelp
is not seaweed, but in fact a brown algae that grows in cold water 'forests'. Huge kelp forests flourishing off the California
coasts sustain a multitude of invertebrates, fish, sea otters and other marine life. While horses require a variety of minerals for
a variety of physiological functions, iodine is needed by horses for one reason - the production of two important thyroid hormones
called triiodothyronine and thyroxin that are responsible for regulating basal metabolism, growth and promoting stable cell
differentiation. Equine hypothyroidism due to lack of sufficient dietary iodine may also be exacerbated by high protein diets,
stress and too much copper or zinc in food. A natural source of supplemental organic vitamins and minerals. Helps improve coat and
skin health. May improve fertility in mares experiencing abnormal estrous cycles. Regulates thyroid functioning for maintaining
proper metabolic processes. Seems to exert anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic properties on equine physiology.
Raises low levels of iodine in iodine deficient horses. Provides numerous amino acids essential to horse growth, stamina and well
being, such as glycine, lysine, tyrosine and tryptophan. For horses.
