Our Cushing's Herbal & Superfood Blend is designed to support the immune system from several angles including the endocrine system, nervous system & balancing of hormones such as ACTH, cortisol & insulin.
Our Cushing's Herbal & Superfood Blend contains adaptogen and nervine herbs to support normal pituitary, thyroid and adrenal function, nutritive and tonic herbs to provide highly bioavailable nutrients and support liver function, natural vitamin E as a potent antioxidant to strengthen the overall immune system, vitamin C to help ward off infections, and superfoods rich in healthy fats to aid in absorption of fat-soluble vitamin E and to help balance hormones.
It also contains the chaste tree berry herb which reads the individual body’s hormonal scape via the hypothalamus gland & acts accordingly to bring balance. Chaste tree berry has a stimulating effect on dopaminergic neurons, which is important for horses with Cushing’s as this disease is said to be caused by a loss of the dopaminergic neurons of the hypothalamus.
The first line of defense in strengthening the immune system and lowering stress hormones is supporting adrenal function with adaptogenic and nervine herbs such as ashwagandha root, holy basil leaf, reishi mushroom and chamomile flowers. These herbs have been trusted for centuries to:
