The immune system has 3 main lines of defense:

Physical barriers - including the skin, the cornea of the eye, and the membranes lining the respiratory, digestive, genital, and urinary tracts. When these barriers are intact and healthy, they can prevent many invaders from entering the body and causing disease. These physical barriers are further supported by the microbiome - the population of beneficial microorganisms, which can help destroy invaders, especially in the gut.

Innate or nonspecific immunity - if physical defenses are breached - perhaps by bacteria entering a skin wound, or if the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract are invaded by airborne viruses, the immune system recognizes these harmful invaders, and very quickly, special cells release chemical messages, both to trigger the inflammatory response (which we can see as heat, swelling, and pain) and to alert the next phase of defense. This rapid, innate or nonspecific response does not distinguish between different types of invaders but simply sends white blood cells into the invasion area to kill the invading organisms.

Specific or adaptive immunity - Once this rapid response is underway, the specific response to the particular invader can begin, and this adaptive immune system "learns" the best way to attack and destroy each different pathogen, thus creating an "immune memory" when this invader is encountered again, the specific immune system can send more white blood cells and antibodies to attach to the surface of the bacterium or virus, and prevent it from multiplying and infecting other healthy cells.

This whole process starts within seconds and can last for days, even weeks! Targeted nutrition for horses and ponies when their immune system is compromised, or not functioning as it should, can help support the immune system and encourage the healing and recovery process.

Emune Solution is a powerful blend of herbal compounds and nutrients designed to support the immune system. Sick horses and ponies, especially sick or thriftless foals, should always receive veterinary care.

Composition:

Emune Solution is a pleasant-tasting liquid formulation, which can be mixed with feed or injected as needed.

Echinacea, which has been shown to support both red and white blood cells, as well as Astragalus, a plant root believed to help strengthen and regulate the immune system, are included.

Antioxidant Vitamins C and E are also provided to support immune function, in addition to herbal antioxidants Blueberry and turmeric.

Yeast-derived nucleotides help support the intestinal immune system, increasingly recognized as playing an important role in maintaining health and well-being.

Emune Solution is also suitable for foals needing additional immune support and should be fed at a appropriately reduced rate based on body weight.
