Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha 5% Withanolides

Ashwagandha is a well-researched adaptogenic herb that helps modulate the body's stress response, reducing symptoms of anxiety and promoting mental clarity. Its bioactive compounds support immune function by enhancing the body's natural defenses. 

Ashwagandha has been shown to be supportive for horses exposed to typical stresses. 

➡ Exercise induced stress: This often occurs when we go on long rides, or when trying to leg up a horse for competition. This can also occur in a debilitated horse that we are trying to rehab.

➡ Separation anxiety: Barn sour horses have extreme anxiety. Social separation is a stressor for horses.

➡ Transportation stress: It's been shown that transporting horses is very stressful. Ashwagandha may support the horse during transport.

➡ Noise stress: Horses are highly reactive to noises. 

A recent study using ashwagandha with 5% withanolides was helpful for horses. They studied the immune responses, antioxidant levels, and stress hormones in that study.

Regular use may contribute to improved resilience against stress-related immune suppression, making it a valuable addition to a holistic wellness regimen.
