Vitagard (P) for Horses

Primary benefits of Vitagard for horses include: Activation of the immune system by specific binding to macrophage (phagocytic cell) receptors giving much increased resistance to infection and disease.

Additional effects include: radical scavenging and binding of heavy metals and toxins leading to enhanced cell protection; stabilization of the intestinal microflora and hence enhanced support for the immune system and boosted intestinal protection.

• Most significantly tests conducted in Germany confirm some significant benefits:
