Why Skin Health Starts Within
A glossy coat and calm skin aren’t just aesthetic : they signal internal balance. When the gut barrier is compromised or the immune system overreacts, the skin often suffers:
Signs of imbalance may include:
- Itchiness, rubbing, or dandruff
- Dry or flaky skin
- Hives or seasonal irritation
- Dull coat or slow shedding
- Hair loss or poor hair quality
- Skin sensitivity after grooming or clipping
The solution? A holistic approach that addresses both the external symptoms and the internal triggers, digestive sensitivity, oxidative stress, and immune overreaction.

“Skin issues are often the tip of the iceberg. We see big improvements when we support the gut and immune system from within, while also respecting the skin barrier with gentle care.”

Frequently asked question
While supplements don’t cure sweet itch, they can support your horse’s immune system, liver function, and skin health. Steady & Stable helps detox the liver and regulate sugar metabolism. Guts & Glory works on strengthening the gut barrier, which is key to reducing immune overreactions. Restore & Revive supports skin repair thanks to its turmeric-based antioxidants. Grow & Glow contributes high-quality omega-3s that help reinforce the skin barrier and reduce dryness or flakiness.
Sweet itch, or summer eczema, is primarily caused by an allergic reaction to the bites of Culicoides midges. These tiny insects are most active during dawn and dusk, and their saliva triggers an allergic response in sensitive horses, leading to intense itching and discomfort.
Preventative measures include using fine mesh fly sheets and masks to protect against midge bites, minimizing grazing during peak midge activity times (sunrise and sunset), and applying insect repellents designed for horses.
Improvements in coat condition may appear in 4–6 weeks. For skin reactivity or immune balance, expect visible progress within 6–12 weeks of consistent use. Omega-rich support from Grow & Glow can also boost visible coat shine within weeks.
Yes. They’re designed to complement each other. A popular protocol:
- Start with Steady & Stable (1-month liver boost)
- Continue with Guts & Glory to support the gut and immune system
- Add Restore & Revive if scratching or inflammation is visible
- Use Grow & Glow for underweight horses or those needing skin and coat reinforcement
Yes. It’s pH-balanced and made with natural botanicals that gently clean, calm and hydrate — without harsh chemicals. Perfect for itchy or allergy-prone horses.
Absolutely. They’re designed for daily, long-term use. You can adjust or rotate them based on your horse’s seasonal needs, condition, and sensitivity level.
If your horse is selective, it's recommended to introduce Curafyt supplements gradually over a week. Start with a small portion of the recommended daily dose and incrementally increase to the full dosage. This gradual approach helps your horse acclimate to the natural taste of the herbs and supports a smooth digestive transition.
A sample from each batch is tested at an accredited laboratory (LCH, France) for substances banned in equestrian sport, including caffeine, theobromine, morphine, and others.
In addition, our formulas are developed in line with the NOPS (Naturally Occurring Prohibited Substances) scheme of the British Equestrian Trade Association (BETA), which helps reduce the risk of contamination with naturally occurring prohibited substances.
