Our Cushing's Herbal & Superfood Blend is designed to support the immune system from several angles, including the endocrine system, nervous system (neurons), immune function, pituitary function & balancing of hormones including ACTH / cortisol & insulin. Insulin is an endocrine hormone; so by naturally balancing hormones, insulin resistance can subside.
This blend includes 1,500 IU of Natural Vitamin E, per serving, to strengthen the overall immune system and help ward off infections. 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 caused by a loss of the dopaminergic neurons of the hypothalamus.
