Ingredient Details:
Algal Omega-3 Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA):
Algal Omega-3 Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) is a key ingredient in ProtEQtor™ Skin & Allergy Pellets due to its potent anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating properties. Sourced from microalgae, DHA directly reduces inflammation associated with skin allergies like sweet itch, alleviating itching, dryness, and flakiness. It strengthens the skin barrier, improving coat health and reducing hair breakage. DHA also supports immune balance, helping horses manage allergic reactions and respiratory issues linked to immune challenges. Unlike plant-based omega-3s, algal DHA is readily absorbed, ensuring effective relief. This makes it essential for daily support of horses with skin allergies and immune sensitivities.
Grape Seed Extract:
Grape seed extract is included in ProtEQtor™ Skin & Allergy Pellets for its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which help horses with skin allergies and immune challenges. Rich in oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), it soothes skin irritations, reduces inflammation, and strengthens the skin barrier, alleviating symptoms like itching and dryness associated with conditions such as sweet itch. It also supports immune balance by neutralizing free radicals, aiding horses during stress or infection. Enhancing blood flow, it promotes a healthier, shinier coat. This makes grape seed extract a vital component for daily support of equine skin and immune health.
N-Acetyl L-Cystein:
N-Acetyl L-Cysteine (NAC) is included in ProtEQtor™ Skin & Allergy Pellets for its powerful antioxidant properties, supporting horses with skin allergies and immune challenges. By boosting glutathione levels, NAC reduces oxidative stress, which can exacerbate inflammation in allergic conditions like sweet itch, potentially easing itching and redness. It also enhances immune resilience, helping horses combat infections and stress-related immune issues. While direct evidence for skin allergies is limited, NAC's ability to support detoxification and immune balance makes it a valuable component. This daily supplement aids overall health, promoting a stronger immune system and healthier skin for affected horses.
Quercetin:
Quercetin is included in ProtEQtor™ Skin & Allergy Pellets for its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, crucial for horses with skin allergies and immune challenges. As a natural flavonoid, it stabilizes mast cells, reducing histamine release to alleviate itching, redness, and swelling from conditions like sweet itch. Quercetin also modulates immune responses, helping horses manage stress or infection-related immune issues by neutralizing free radicals. This supports a balanced immune system and promotes healthier skin. Its inclusion ensures effective daily support, complementing other ingredients to enhance overall wellness in horses facing seasonal allergies or immune sensitivities.
Chondroitin Sulfate:
Chondroitin Sulfate is included in ProtEQtor™ Skin & Allergy Pellets for its anti-inflammatory properties, which indirectly support horses with skin allergies and immune challenges. While primarily known for joint health, it may reduce systemic inflammation, potentially easing irritation, dryness, and itching associated with conditions like sweet itch. Supporting connective tissue integrity, it enhances skin barrier function, promoting healthier skin. Additionally, its immune-modulating effects may aid horses during stress or infection, improving overall resilience. Included in this daily supplement, Chondroitin Sulfate complements other ingredients to provide comprehensive support for equine skin health and immune system balance.
Egg Powder (Hyper-Egg®):
Egg Powder (Hyper-Egg®), a hyperimmunized egg protein, is included in ProtEQtor™ Skin & Allergy Pellets to aid horses with skin allergies and immune challenges. Derived from eggs of hens immunized against specific antigens, Hyper-Egg® contains antibodies that support immune balance, reducing symptoms like itching, swelling, and dry skin from conditions such as sweet itch or fly allergies. It enhances immunity during stress, travel, or infection, promoting resilience. Customer reviews note improved coat shine and reduced irritation, especially in summer. As a show-safe ingredient, it complements other components, providing comprehensive daily support for equine skin health and immune function.
Resveratrol:
Resveratrol, a polyphenol from plants like grapes, is included in ProtEQtor™ Skin & Allergy Pellets for its potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, supporting horses with skin allergies and immune challenges. While direct equine evidence is limited, it may reduce inflammation linked to conditions like sweet itch, easing itching and redness. Its antioxidant effects could enhance immune resilience, helping horses manage stress or infections.
