EquiZest Citrus Salt for horses

EquiZest Citrus Salt

EquiZest Citrus Salt is a natural, low-sugar ionised salt infused with citrus peel to support hydration, electrolyte balance, and everyday equine wellbeing.

Formulated to encourage healthy water intake and provide essential minerals, this citrus-infused blend helps support hydration, palatability, and daily mineral balance without added sugar or molasses.

Citrus fruits and their bioactive compounds — particularly flavonoids such as hesperidin, naringenin, and eriocitrin — alongside vitamin C and polyphenols, have been studied for their potential role in supporting metabolic health and insulin sensitivity.
