Antioxidants
Naturally occurring antioxidants are by-products of plants and are typically available to horses on the open range, but due to a depletion of antioxidants from our agricultural soils over the past several decades, they are no longer available in commercial hay, which is the primary feed for domestic horses today. Dogs and cats should receive the natural antioxidants they need from their food sources but the same depletion has had a similar effect on them, which has resulted in a number of antioxidant supplements.

Natural ionic products containing antioxidants have been available to humans for a number of years. Now, Daily72® delivers antioxidants in a liquid ionic or a concentrated powder application to animals so they can enjoy the same degree of absorption as the human products. As a result, animals respond extremely well and their owners see improvements in overall health that they might not relate to antioxidants. Why is that? Basically, antioxidants have been used by humans to protect the body from damage caused by free radicals, to enhance immune system function, and to reduce the risk of chronic degenerative conditions.

Free radicals are molecules, which are missing an electron. Electrons in an atom or molecule are normally paired and spin in opposite directions to balance each other. They spin at nearly the speed of light. A free radical is created when one electron in a pair is dislodged. A molecule with the free radical must take an electron away from another molecule in the cell such as protein or DNA to restore its stability. This process can ultimately cause damage to a cell. The antioxidant gives one of its electrons to the free radical and neutralizes the free radical. The antioxidant is no longer functional once it gives up the electron and more antioxidants are needed to replace it. Antioxidants work together to neutralize free radicals, and it is wise to replace them regularly with naturally occurring plant-derived antioxidants. Free radicals affect horses, dogs and cats in much the same way and can be caused by ultra-violet rays from the sun and exposure to pesticides, insecticides, and herbicides. Nature supplies antioxidants to protect us and our animals from the destructive effects of free radicals by providing us with naturally occurring antioxidant nutrients from fruits, vegetables and other plants such as forage, grains and hay.

With that said, the position of Daily72® Ionic Equine, Canine and Feline Antioxidants in the marketplace is that of a naturally occurring dosage-form animal health product. Like people, horses, dogs and cats depend on the antioxidants they receive from their diets. But, the use of chemical fertilizers, insecticides and fungicides over the past several decades has not only increased exposure to free radicals, but also depleted the naturally occurring antioxidants commonly derived from forages, grains, hay and other plant-derived food sources. In essence, Daily72® provides the daily antioxidants needed to support optimal overall health and it eliminates the need for additional antioxidant intake. The small pre-measured daily dosage provides all of the antioxidants needed by your horse, dog or cat without guesswork and without waste.
