So important 👀

According to Sanoanimal: The hidden danger of stacking supplements for horses and why choosing a whole foods approach has such a big impact: Selenium Poisoning
Stacking multiple supplements has potential to create great imbalances- with so much overlap in synthetic vitamins and minerals that the body cannot process in an ideal way. Example- Organic Selenium!

It’s incredibly common to create a slow building selenium toxicity in our horses with all of today’s commercial feeds and supplements. This can lead to an increased risk of:
👎🏼Tendon and Ligament Ruptures
👎🏼Navicular and White Line disease
👎🏼Laminitis
👎🏼EOTRH
👎🏼other Fascial issues
👎🏼Thyroid problems and Metabolic disorders
👎🏼problems in Mucosal linings- ulcers, f***l water syndrome, coughing,etc.

This happens when horses are fed Selenium in the “organic” form because they are synthesized to be attached to amino acids and the body does not use the normal pathways to process, store, excrete them. They bypass that system and are automatically stored instead of having the excess be excreted.

DO NOT FEED these forms of Selenium:

❌Selenium chelate
❌Selenium yeast
❌Selenomethionine
❌Selenocysteine

ONLY feed selenium in the inorganic form! ✅SODIUM SELENITE

If you feed ionized trace minerals- you’re at no risk of over-feeding selenium!

CHECK YOUR LABELS. I was shocked to see that most major supplement companies are feeding the organic selenium- such as Mad Barn. These forms will raise selenium levels in blood work because they are bypassing normal biological systems but overtime will cause connective tissue and metabolic disorders!

Who doesn’t love opening a bag of goodies in the mail?! Very proud to be partnered with Crypto Aero to provide only the best ingredients to our equine friends. I’ve known about Crypto for years, recently I was editing my nutrition recommendations and thought- there must be an existing product out there with these same ingredients on my list that’s more convenient for horse owners than building it piece-meal. I came across Crypto Aero Plus+, and was excited that it could fulfill the needs of client horses and my own mare more conveniently. I recommend using this product on top of a non-gmo base of your choice (rice bran, hay pellets, beet pulp, etc.) and adding salt and vitamin e for our California horses. Voila. Done ✅ I love that this has added ingredients that are safe long term to help gut health, too. BONUS: I’m able to offer all of the Crypto products at 20% off of retail with free shipping for my clients! 💸 check out the ordering form on my website- and help me test for glitches ☺️
