Single feed for horses
If your horse has sensitive airways or a sensitive digestive system, marshmallow can be a valuable addition to its daily feed.

Cut marshmallow root naturally contains mucilage, which forms a gel-like layer when mixed with water. This can gently soothe sensitive mucous membranes in the respiratory tract and stomach.
Marshmallow (Althaea officinalis) is traditionally used in horse feeding when a gentle, herbal supplement for respiratory and digestive support is desired. Marshmallow root can be a particularly beneficial addition during times of feed changes, weather fluctuations, or periods of stress.
