Pro-Equine Pro-Breathe – Respiratory Support Syrup, 500ml

Pro-Equine Pro-Breathe – 500ml

Pro-Breathe is a concentrated herbal syrup that Pro-Equine describe as supporting normal respiratory comfort and maintaining clear, settled airways, with a particular eye on tickly coughs and on helping the body's own processes clear phlegm. It carries no additives, no preservatives and no carrier base, which is unusual in a liquid supplement.

Liquorice, peppermint, couch grass, red clover, eucalyptus and lemon make up the blend. The dose is 20ml daily, and Pro-Equine say it can be doubled for three days before a competition — a short, intensive pattern of use rather than a year-round one. The 500ml bottle is the smallest of the three sizes they make.
