Allergies to Insect Bites

Supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants can help with insect bite hypersensitivity (IBH) and a multitude of other seasonal allergies that some horses experience, causing itching, hives and hair loss. By supplementing to support a horse’s immune system, you can help your horse to better handle histamine levels and allergic response.

Study

A trial conducted at UC Davis looked at skin reactions to common seasonal allergens following intradermal skin injections in horses receiving Platinum Performance® Equine.

Outcome

Wheal sizes for a Mixed Grass antigen decreased by more than 50 percent in horses ingesting the supplement when compared to their values prior to supplementation. Similar results were noted in response to the Mosquito Culicidae and Culicoides spp. antigens.

Client Success Story: Hologram

“The Platinum Performance supplements I’m feeding my horse Hologram are the most effective supplements I’ve ever used. After a big bout of hives, Gram’s coat was dull and patchy. My vet initially recommended Platinum, we started him on Platinum Performance Equine, and, six weeks later, his chestnut coat shines like a newly minted penny. Because he’s an older jumper with lots of miles, I’ve just started him on Platinum Joint Care Competition + HA. Thank you Platinum Performance!”
