Did you know?

Did you know liver damage is called a "silent disease"? It often goes unnoticed for months because the markers in the blood that show disease only show up after significant damage has already been done to the liver. Your horse could already have liver damage, without your even realising it.

That's why checking for liver damage and doing regular liver detoxes - with natural ingredients - at certain points throughout the year are vital for your horse's health.

Your horse's liver is responsible for a whole range of crucial bodily functions…

  • Detoxification - filtering toxins from the blood.
  • Metabolism - regulating blood sugar
  • Bile Production - to digest and absorb fats
  • Immune Function - helping fight off infections
  • Energy Storage - for easy-access energy
  • Hormone Regulation - to maintain hormonal balance

So if the liver is not functioning properly, it can cause serious health issues.

How can our new Detox & Drain liver supplement help?

Detox & Drain powder

Detox & Drain has been formulated with 7 core, natural ingredients, each selected specifically for their liver cleansing properties to…

  • Support liver detoxification
  • Keep liver cells healthy
  • Support sugar and fat metabolism
  • Promote important antioxidant supply

It ensures the efficient processing and excretion of toxins while protecting liver cells and enhancing liver function.

"I advise seasonal liver detox treatments for all my clients' horses, particularly in spring and fall. This assists in controlling toxin accumulation, backing overall health, improving performance, and aiding in digestion. It is vital, notably when horses graze regularly, due to the surge in toxic substances like PFAS in nature and the environment."

Phase 1: Detoxification
In Phase 1, enzymes break down toxins into smaller, more manageable molecules. However if left unchecked, this process can result in the buildup of harmful free radicals and oxidative stress. This is why Phase 2 is so important…

Phase 2: Elimination
In Phase 2, the liver eliminates the toxins from Phase 1 by making them water-soluble so they can be safely excreted through bile or urine.

★★★★★

"My horse wanted to bite when girthing up on the right side. As a yearling he'd stamp when you touched his belly near the girth on the right. The osteopath (aequilibrium) suspected liver trouble. After a week of detox, the reactions above had disappeared."

★★★★★

"Impeccable detox treatment. My horse is in great shape, has a super shiny coat, and I find he has more stamina when working."

Does your horse need a liver detox?

First things first, speak to your vet. If you have any questions or concerns about your horse's liver health it's the best place to start. They'll also be able to guide you through a liver detox.

There are some signs you can look out for yourself as well, which could indicate an unhealthy liver: weight loss, behavioural changes, lethargy, jaundice, poor coat condition.

When should you do a liver detox?

Liver detoxes are best done during periods of low stress and reduced workload with experts recommending the following times of the year:

Spring and autumn transitions

Spring and Autumn transitions

To support the body's internal systems as they prepare for temperature shifts, changes in pasture availability, and other seasonal factors.

Post-medication

Post-medication

To help remove residual toxins left behind from antibiotics or anti-inflammatories.

Post-winter recovery

Post-Winter recovery

To help remove toxin buildup caused by reduced exercise and diet changes.

Digestive or skin issues

Digestive or skin issues arise

To help relieve strain on the liver which could be causing digestive distress, such as bloating or sluggish digestion, or if skin conditions like hives, dull coats, or persistent itching develop.

Be sure to speak to your vet before doing a liver detox.
