~ please join us Tonight for the incredible story of how Kim and Bonnie Heath have changed the lives of thousands of horses! Their story with Miss Pangea would make anyone cry ❤️
Pm me for details about nrf2 for you or your animals.
If you know of any horse people ~ please share this!!!
Nrf2 Activation in horses is REAL!
Nrf2 (Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) is a transcription factor that plays a key role in regulating the body's antioxidant response. In horses, as in other species, activating the Nrf2 pathway offers several potential health benefits:
1. **Antioxidant Defense**: Nrf2 activation increases the production of antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase. This helps reduce oxidative stress in horses, especially those involved in intense physical activities like racing or endurance events.
2. **Anti-inflammatory Effects**: By reducing oxidative stress, Nrf2 activation also modulates inflammation. This can benefit horses with conditions such as arthritis, laminitis, or other inflammatory disorders.
3. **Improved Respiratory Health**: Horses are prone to respiratory issues, including recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) or inflammatory airway disease (IAD). Nrf2 activation can reduce lung inflammation and oxidative damage, potentially improving respiratory function.
4. **Support for Aging Horses**: Older horses often experience a decline in cellular function, which can lead to chronic diseases, muscle loss, or decreased performance. Nrf2 activation may slow down some of these aging processes by promoting cellular repair and reducing oxidative damage.
5. **Exercise Recovery**: Horses involved in performance sports are prone to muscle fatigue and damage due to oxidative stress. Nrf2 activation can enhance recovery by reducing muscle damage and supporting overall muscle health.
