Animals whose diets contain seaweed are often observed to be in particular good health.

Due to the limited species variation found in modern pastures, and the loss of vitamins and minerals through feed processing and storage, the modern horse will often benefit from an all round dietary supplement.
Seaweed provides a whole range of vitamins from A through to M (Folic acid), so essential for the efficient digestion and metabolism of the diet. Seaweed also contains up to twenty minerals, including the electrolytes, sodium, chlorine, potassium and magnesium vital for water uptake.
