Ingredient
Toxin BinderSodium Sulfate Decahydrate is also known as Glauber Salts or sal mirabilis. It is used in horses as a natural laxative supplement to support gut health and alleviate colic.
Mad Barn's Feed Bank provides nutritional profiles on 4,269 forages, feeds and supplements used in the equine diet. With our free diet formulation tool, this data can be used by horse owners and nutritionists to design balanced feeding programs for horses in their care.
Sodium Sulfate is a natural source of sulfur that is purported to promote evacuation of the horse’s bowels. It is said to be useful as a natural deworming supplement and an anti-parasitic agent.
Glauber Salts has a laxative effect in horses, promoting gut motility and the elimination of worms in the small intestine. It is used in horses that have an adverse reaction to paste-based deworming medications.
According to Saratoga Veterinary Products, Sodium Sulfate can “kill large strongyles, small strongyles, pinworms, ascarids, and arteritis caused by fourth stage larvae of Strongylus vulgaris.”
