Silver has long been recognized for its potent antimicrobial properties, making it a valuable tool in equine health care. EquiFit’s AgSilver line harnesses the power of ionic silver to combat bacteria, fungi, and other pathogens that can affect your horse’s skin and overall well-being.
The Science Behind AgSilver
Ionic silver is a smart element that releases antimicrobial properties only when microbes are present. This targeted approach helps prevent the development of resistant strains and ensures effective treatment of skin issues such as rain rot, scratches, ringworm, and thrush. Unlike traditional antibiotics, silver-based solutions offer a natural and effective alternative without the risk of resistance.
