The Horse’s Respiratory System:
Horses are natural athletes with a staggering ability to take in oxygen and deliver it via the lungs to working muscles. Effective delivery of oxygen is paramount to all levels of performance, but airway function can be compromised due to dust, pollen or other environmental particles that become trapped in the mucosal lining of the respiratory tract, triggering an inflammatory response.
The horse's airways are highly specialised to ensure efficient function and to protect them from environmental irritants. Their defences include a lining of tiny hair-like cilia and a thin layer of mucus which traps particles and stops them from travelling deep into the lungs, and specialised cells called macrophages which engulf tiny particles that have made it right down into the alveoli, deep within the lungs.
How Clarity® Supports Your Horse’s Respiratory Health:
Key benefits:
- Supports clear breathing in dusty or high-pollen environments
- Maintains the horse’s natural mucosal defences
- Acts as a natural expectorant to expel trapped particles
- Provides antioxidant protection against respiratory inflammation
- Helps maintain healthy airways for optimal performance
Clarity® is an equine respiratory supplement, formulated by Nutritionists, that helps to maintain your horse’s normal respiratory function and natural defences against environmental particles.
This herbal formulation acts as a natural expectorant, meaning it removes immune-triggering particles from the airways by aiding the removal of mucous.
Clarity® also contains antioxidants which, alongside immunomodulatory effects, help maintain optimum air flow through the trachea down to the bronchioles and alveoli. The high levels of the antioxidants quercetin, anthocyanins and flavonoids also support the clearance of free radicals to aid in regulation of the immune system and inflammatory response.
Oregano and lemon peel further support maintenance of clear airways, while thyme, elderflower and coltsfoot help soothe the respiratory tract.
This comprehensive respiratory supplement helps horses to maintain a healthy respiratory tract, even when facing environmental challenges such as dust, pollen, or seasonal allergens - factors which can contribute to coughing, sneezing, headshaking, and breathing difficulties.
We recommend that you follow stable management protocols to keep stabling as dust-free and well-ventilated as possible and feed Clarity® daily to support optimum respiratory health.
