Sarc-Ex
For lumps and bumps in horses
NEW 1.2Kg tubs


Sarc-Ex's provides a unique approach to those horses with skin concerns. No-one is really sure what causes such problems but they are certainly related closely to insect bites and inherent weakness in the body's natural defences.

Our new formulation is specifically designed to help support the immune system in a complete and natural way. A large proportion of the body's defences are located in the bowels so the first aim is to support the digestive process and make sure bowel lining is as resilient as possible.

The next task is to provide a nutritional base which allows the body to effectively fight abnormalities and microrganisms at the cellular level. An 'Echinacea free' product. This product is also a good calming formula and antioxidant so helps your horse feel more relaxed which again helps the immune system. You will find when feeding this formula that wounds, cuts and abrasions will resolve more quickly.

For particularly stubborn lumps also consider using Resore liquid at the same time as Sarc-Ex.

PRESENTATION: A 1.2 kg pack of herbs in powder form for administration in the feed. Tubs or refills available. Two packs of herbs need to be mixed together.

DIRECTIONS: Powder is mixed in with the feed at a rate of 7.5g per 100kg twice daily. This should be continued daily for 3-12 months or more depending on the individual situation of the horse concerned. Normally a 6 months supply is sufficient. Costs: £18.50 / 1.2 kg tub
