Abstract :

There is a growing interest in both human and veterinary medicine in discovering novel natural compounds, primarily derived from herbs, that enhance biological function and promote overall health. The purpose of this article is to elaborate on how some herbal remedies for sport horses' GIT problems are used. Given the availability of novel oral medications, targeted supplements, and health-promoting compounds, herbs are regarded as an extremely valuable resource. The primary benefits of herbal products have been covered, including strengthening the immune system, enhancing performance, enhancing antioxidant status, reducing overall stress, and acting as efficient laxatives in the treatment of GIT problems like colic. We have specifically examined the label claims, potential side effects, and doping interactions of a few popular herbal extracts. Herbal medications have been much more widely available in both human and veterinary care in recent years, especially in the equine industry.
