Equus Health Rosehips 1kg

Equus Health Rosehips Fine Cut – 1kg

Rosehips are cut fine here rather than left whole, which matters in practice: a whole hip is hard, prickly inside and often simply left in the bottom of the bucket. The fine cut mixes through a feed and gets eaten. Equus Health describe it as an excellent source of natural iron and of vitamins A, C and K, supporting the immune system.

They also credit it with antioxidant activity for liver, kidney and circulatory function, and with biotin for hoof quality and growth. That last point is why rosehips so often turn up alongside seaweed in hoof feeding, and why Equus Health sell the two blended as well as separately.

Performance & Benefits

• Named by Equus Health as an excellent source of natural iron.
• Supplies vitamins A, C and K, which they link to immune support.
• Contains an antioxidant for healthy liver, kidney and circulatory function.
• Contains biotin for hoof quality and growth.

Composition & Analysis

• Composition: 100% rosehips, fine cut. 1kg pack.
• Equus Health name iron, biotin and vitamins A, C and K as constituents, but publish no quantity for any of them, so no figures are given here.
• No typical analysis is published — no protein, oil, fibre, sugar or ash percentages are declared by Equus Health.
• Earlier copy on this page listed thiamine, riboflavin and niacin and gave an infusion method using boiling water. Neither appears in Equus Health's own published information and both have been removed.
