It is by the combination of all the benefits of Spirulina enriched with a complex of plants and yeast, that Horse Master launches Pro Digest, a complementary feed provides digestive comfort to horses followed for digestive disorders causing discomfort, pain and inflammation.

Pro Digest also provides the detoxifying and hepatoprotective functions often required during digestive disorders.

Spirulina

Spirulina is considered as a real "solar" food, with beneficial properties for the body.
Above all, its high content of highly digestible proteins (60-70%), containing all essential and non-essential amino acids, which characterizes it.

Often referred to as a plankton seaweed, spirulina is actually a germ belonging to filamentous cyanobacteria of the genus Arthrospira coiled in turns, hence its name. Cyanobacteria are characterized by the absence of core, contrary to seaweed and plants. They are also characterized by their nutritional richness and their manifold therapeutic interests.
Scientific research has highlighted the interest of Spirulina in the fight against many pathologies (infectious diseases, cancer, cellular aging etc.) but also its remarkable nutritional qualities.

Focus on the pigments of Spirulina including Phycocyanin

Spirulina contains three kinds of pigments: chlorophyll, carotenoids (mainly B-carotene) and phycobiliproteins (mainly phycocyanin).
The latter is a powerful antioxidant that has many activities. Phycocyanin is the most abundant pigment representing more than 15% of the weight of Spirulina, hence its name of blue alga often associated with Spirulina. Many studies have highlighted the benefits of this pigment on oxidative stress and inflammation. For example, phycocyanin would increase the antioxidant capacity of plasma and SOD and GPx activities (antioxidant enzymes).
It is also a true anti-inflammatory agent, since phycocyanin forms a shield blocking the production of substances responsible for pain and inflammation. It is therefore an anti-inflammatory without adverse effects for the stomach and the digestive system.
