Garlic powder
Garlic is a rich source of choline (vitamin B4), vitamins B6 and C and minerals (calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, selenium and zinc). Garlic contains allicin, it promotes resistance to unfavorable organisms in the intestines, thus increasing the horse's overall resistance. In addition, garlic has beneficial effects on the heart and blood vessels(1,2,3,4).
