AirwayPlus
The 'all year round' airway formula. 1 kg powder in refill packs and tubs

AirwayPlus helps to keep chests clear, soothe throats and chests, drains mucus build up and maintain normal breathing. This formula can be used in all situations and in conjunction with veterinary drugs.

It works well in both stable kept horses and those kept out at grass and can be used for all situations from support for mild coughs to more serious issues. Long term use is made easier with 'Airway', a more simple blend of the principle ingredients although many people use AirwayPlus all throughout the year. Uses:

For the discomfort in the throat and windpipe and/or mucus build up.

When dust and pollen are of concern (see Zephyr)

As a support to the work of your vet (phone us first)

For all breathing problems affecting performance and fitness

For specific breathing issues (phone us)

As general support for all equine chests.
