NAF D-Itch
A revolutionary complementary feed has been specifically formulated to help the horse prone to skin allergies and related conditions. Increasingly, nutritional answers are being sought after.
Natural anti-oxidants act as free radical scavengers, removing unwanted particles found naturally within the system that vastly increase in number where any upset occurs. D-Itch is rich in natural anti-oxidants, such as rosemary and sunflower seeds, along with MSM as an anti-inflammatory ingredient. The herbs and other nutrients reduce the harmful effects of skin allergies. This product is recommended if the animal has a history of skin irritations, and when the symptoms are seen.
NAF D-Itch comes in a 1 kg container and when fed at 26 g per day will last 40 days. To order or find a dealer near you, contact NAF-USA toll free at 866-632-5199.
