FAQs
Can I feed this to my horse all year round?
Yes, Global Herbs Pure Seaweed is suitable for year-round daily supplementation.
Does this product contain any banned substances?
Global Herbs prioritizes natural ingredients, but if you are competing under specific racing or FEI rules, it is recommended to check the current prohibited substances list regarding natural mineral supplements.
Is this safe for pregnant mares?
While natural, it is always best practice to consult with your veterinarian before introducing any new mineral supplements to the diet of a pregnant or lactating mare.
How long will the 6kg tub last?
Duration depends on the size of the horse and the phase of supplementation. A large horse on a maintenance dose will consume it significantly faster than a pony.
Do I need to add other minerals if I use this?
Pure Seaweed provides excellent trace minerals, but it is not a complete vitamin and mineral balancer. Ensure your horse's core diet still meets their primary energy and protein requirements.
Troubleshooting
Horse refuses to eat the feed with the seaweed
Introduce the seaweed gradually over 7-10 days, starting with a very small amount and mixing it thoroughly with dampened feed or a tasty carrier like soaked sugar beet.
Supplement becomes clumped in the tub
Ensure the lid is pressed down firmly after every use and store the tub away from high-humidity areas or direct sunlight.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High bioavailability due to lack of artificial additives
- Supports hoof health and coat quality naturally

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This product is highly compatible with most standard equine diets, including those consisting of forage, grains, or forage balancers. To maintain the integrity of the supplement, store the 6kg tub in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent moisture accumulation. Ensure the scoop remains dry between uses to prevent clumping. When calculating the dose, remember that initial loading phases require 2-3 scoops for ponies and 6.5-7.5 scoops for larger horses daily, while maintenance programs allow you to reduce this amount to 50% of the daily serving once the desired condition is achieved.
