Global Herbs Burdock Root Powder Horse Supplement
Description
Global Herbs Burdock Root Powder — Cleansing Herbal Support for Horses
Global Herbs Burdock Root Powder is a single-herb feed supplement for horses and ponies, fed daily in hard feed. It is best for owners who want to support their horse's natural cleansing processes, healthy digestion, and skin and coat condition — particularly where the skin is dry or scurfy.
Burdock root is traditionally used to help cleanse tissue and encourage the elimination of waste and toxins from the body, while providing essential nutrients that contribute to normal liver and kidney function. Being a straightforward single herb rather than a blend, it slots easily alongside a balancer or existing supplement routine. Browse more options in our horse supplements collection.

FAQ
What is burdock root used for in horses?
Burdock root is traditionally fed for its detoxifying effects, helping to cleanse tissue and encourage the elimination of waste and toxins. It also provides nutrients that support healthy digestion and normal liver and kidney function.
Will it help a dry, scurfy coat?
It is often chosen for exactly that. Burdock supports skin and coat condition from the inside and is considered beneficial for horses with dry and scurfy skin, alongside good grooming and a balanced diet.
My horse is fussy — will he eat it?
Herbal powders taste earthy, so introduce it over five to seven days rather than at a full dose straight away. Dampening the feed and mixing it well through chaff usually helps considerably.
How much do I feed and for how long?
Follow the feeding rate on the tub, as it varies with the size of your horse or pony. Herbal supplements are usually fed as a course over several weeks, so allow time before judging the results.
Can I feed it to a competition horse?
Herbal ingredients are not automatically permitted under competition rules, so check the current prohibited-substances list for your governing body before feeding if you compete.
Can it be fed with other supplements?
It is a single herb and generally fed alongside a balancer or other supplements. If your horse is on medication, pregnant, or has a diagnosed health condition, speak to your vet or a registered nutritionist first.
