A treasure from the ocean!

There have been a couple of warm weeks here in Ireland and more warm weather might be on its way. 

A horse loses much more minerals through sweating than people do, these have to be replenished via the ration. After all, a horse cannot opt for a bag of salty crisps or put some extra salt on his dinner. In addition, the horse will start sweating at lower temperatures than we do: the fermentation of their roughage ensures a lot of heat production, above 25 degrees horses are already actively cooling down. If horses sweat a lot during training or do not get a balancer or vitamin or mineral pellet, then you can start adding salt at 20+ degrees. They won’t sweat extremely, but do sweat a little bit throughout the day. That also causes loss of minerals.

You can supplement in several ways, over normal food, with a salt lick or simply offering salt separately, through water or in a bucket. A horse senses when it needs salt, they will certainly absorb this independently if it is available. There are some horses that like salt very much and continue to eat it, so it is better not to give it unlimited. 

Why Celtic seasalt?

What sets Celtic Sea Salt apart from its table salt counterparts is its remarkable mineral composition. It contains a balanced blend of over 80 naturally occurring trace elements, including magnesium, calcium, potassium, and zinc. These minerals are essential for maintaining overall health, supporting proper cellular function, and regulating hydration levels in the body.

The Benefits of Celtic Seasalt:

Nutrient-rich: Unlike highly processed table salt that undergoes refining, Celtic Seasalt retains its natural mineral content. Consuming this salt can contribute to the body’s mineral balance and promote overall well-being. Additionally, the trace elements present in Celtic Seasalt play a vital role in supporting proper digestion, strengthening the immune system, and promoting healthy brain function.

Electrolyte Balance: The mineral composition of Celtic Sea Salt is particularly beneficial for maintaining electrolyte balance in the body. Electrolytes are essential for regulating fluid levels, nerve function, muscle contractions, and overall hydration. Including Celtic Sea Salt in your diet can help replenish these vital minerals and promote optimal bodily functions.

Alkalizing Properties: Celtic Seasalt possesses alkalizing properties, which can help counteract the acidic nature of many modern diets. An overly acidic internal environment can lead to various health issues, such as inflammation and decreased immune function. The alkaline minerals found in Celtic Sea Salt can help restore pH balance and support a healthy acid-alkaline equilibrium within the body.
