The Ingredients

Hemp Hulls and Hearts are an excellent source of-quality protein (20%) which supports muscle function, nutrient absorption, and other important body functions. It also contains a superior amino acid profile with 9 essential amino acids required for protein production. These amino acids are not made by horses but are vital for their health especially for the building, fuelling, recovery of muscles after exercise, and building topline.

Hemp Hulls and Hearts contain 10% to 20% oil, mostly in the form of essential fatty acids which has anti-inflammatory benefits which support joint and immune system function.

Hemp oil provides Gamma Linoleic Acid (GLA). GLA in humans has been linked to supporting female hormonal imbalances, and improved brain function.

Hemp Hulls and Hearts are low in sugar and starch with useful levels of digestible fibre (approx. 30%), favourable for a high fibre, low sugar and starch diets. It can be fed to all horses including those with grain intolerances or metabolic issues.

Hemp Hulls and Hearts also contain antioxidants in the form of Vitamin E plus magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, and calcium. They are Australian grown and processed and GMO free.

MSM (Methylsulphonylmethane) is a natural form of sulfur that may help to minimise oxidative damage and inflammation, helping maintain healthy connective tissue, cartilage, bones, and hooves. It is an important addition to any horse’s diet. MSM also supports healthy skin and coat due to its role in keratin formation.

Horses in heavy work, are older, have arthritis or have poor hoof condition will potentially benefit from MSM in their diet.

Turmeric Alleppey and Black Pepper Curcuma longa (Alleppey), is a traditional type of turmeric commonly used in cooking, foodstuffs, cosmetics, and medicine. It may assist with conditions such as inflammation and skin conditions. It is a high potency Turmeric.

Curcumin is treated as a foreign substance by the liver, therefore rapidly metabolised and excreted. Piperine in black pepper blocks curcumin excretion by the liver increasing curcumin bioavailability.
