 Key Points:

  • High protein source
  • Helps the immune system
  • Supports horses prone to respiratory problems

The new ‘superfood’, Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) is a blue-green algae with a high nutritional value due to a wide range of essential nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals and proteins. With a protein content of approximately 65% that are biologically complete - which means they provide all eight essential amino acids in the proper ratios. Furthermore, Spirulina provides all the required amino acids in a form that are easily digestible.

Because Spirulina is high in protein it is ideal to be fed to young developing horses, lactating mares and horses in hard work. It is also rich in B group Vitamins including Iron and Manganese. *Studies have shown Spirulina to reduce weight gain with horses and ponies with EMS, and that they had diminished cresty neck, as well as improving  metabolic health in horses affected by insulin resistance (IR). 

Spirulina is commonly fed for the following reasons, to support immune function, to support muscle tone and development, to help horses prone to respiratory problems as well as  those with seasonal allergies and sensitivity to dust and mold and for hoof, coat and skin health.
