Our blend of sea supplements combine species of brown, green and red macroalgae selected for their Nutritional benefits.
Benefits of Seaweeds
- Blood Purifying: The chemical composition of seaweeds is so close to animal blood plasma, that they are excellent at regulating and purifying our blood.
- High in Calcium: They can contain up to 10 times more calcium than milk and 8 times as much as beef.
- Alkalizing:They help to alkalize blood, neutralizing the over-acidic effects of our modern feed.
- Have Powerful Chelating Properties: They offer protection from a wide array of environmental toxins, including heavy metals, pollutants and radiation by-products, by converting them to harmless salts that the body can eliminate easily.
- Contain Anti-oxidants: Seaweeds contain lignans (naturally occurring chemical compounds) which have anti cancer properties.
- Detoxifying: They are rich in chlorophyll (the pigment that makes some seaweeds green) which is a powerful, natural detoxifier that helps to draw out waste products.
Its bioactive compounds include Alginates -binder of toxic substances, antibacterial and immunostimulant, Laminarins – immunostimulant, antioxidant, ability to prebiotic, Phenols, phlorotannins – antioxidants and vitamin precurser, essential amino acids – growth and muscle development, vitamins – for good health and growth.
Seaweed is a 100% natural product and analytical values may vary from the typical analysis due to natural variation on the product.
These micronutrients include all trace minerals known to man, and since they are tied to protein molecules, they are quickly taken into the blood stream to feed body
Looking at the benefits from the bioavailable fresh product sea weed liquid below:
The B group vitamins have a myriad of functions within the body, but are particularly important for energy generation, proper function of the nervous system, red blood cell formation and maintenance of the digestive system and skin health. Many of the B-group vitamins are intimately involved in the various energy generation pathways. Particularly they play an important role in the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl Co-A, which is a key stage in aerobic metabolism. Reduced or incomplete conversion of pyruvate to acetyl Co-A contributes to a build up in lactic acid in muscles, which then dissociates to form lactate and hydrogen ions (H+). The rise in H+ and associated acidosis is a significant factor in the process of fatigue. B vitamins are therefore crucial to exercise performance and it is not surprising that their supplementation is often a feature of in-training diets.
Vitamin K for its role in pulmonary support and strengthening of blood vessels Vitamin K is the last fat soluble vitamin to mention. Its primary role is in blood clotting and also bone metabolism. Vitamin K1 is required for activation of osteocalcin needed to direct the mineralisation of bone.
Vitamin C plays a pivotal role in neutralizing harmful free radicals. Because of its water-soluble nature, vitamin C can work both inside and outside the cell to combat free-radical damage. Vitamin C also helps by regenerating vitamin E. Besides its antioxidant functions, vitamin C is needed for collagen synthesis, hormone synthesis, conversion of vitamin D3 to calcitriol, bone calcification, and antihistamine control. Vitamin C deficiency could produce poor hair coat, depressed immune system, hemorrhage, delayed wound healing, degenerated or enlarged adrenal glands, scoliosis, and lordosis.
Natural forms of vitamin E appear to be significantly more available than the traditional synthetic form. Aantioxidant in the body, protecting individual cells every day. It is in every cell of your horse’s body and unique in being able to cross into spinal cord, brain, liver, eyes, heart, skin, and joints. In addition to being an antioxidant, Vitamin E is a “potent anti-inflammatory when given in high levels,” according to a University of Florida study.
Your horse does not make Vitamin E. Daily outside sources of Vitamin E are required to maintain the right blood and tissue levels to help protect cells. Nerve tissue especially requires Vitamin E to function properly. Horses quickly get deficient if they engage
Vitamin D another fat-soluble vitamin but also a hormone is intimately involved in calcium and phosphorus balance. It facilitates the absorption of calcium from the gut and its re-absorption from the kidneys and bone. Vitamin D status is likely to be particularly important where bone remodelling occurs and especially during the typical period of early race training where a decrease in bone density has been observed. Vitamin D is sometimes referred to as the ‘sunshine’ vitamin, as horses can produce it naturally in the skin when exposed to the sun. This could potentially be an issue for many horses spending most of their time indoors out of the sunshine. Concentrate feeds do tend to be well fortified with vitamin D and an average intake should easily meet daily requirements, although less is known about optimum intake for performance.
