Mother Earth

Mother Earth is a unique blend of three powerful natural ingredients: lava, bentonite clay, and oyster shell calcium. Each of these raw materials comes directly from nature and contributes its own unique properties to the mineral profile of this unique product.

The lava in Mother Earth comes from ancient volcanic deposits. This solidified rock is rich in natural minerals formed by millions of years of geological activity. The bentonite clay is formed through the weathering of volcanic ash and naturally contains high levels of montmorillonite, a substance known for its binding properties in the gut. This clay is extracted deep from the earth in various European regions. And then there is the Dutch oyster lime, derived from ground oyster shells from coastal areas. This lime is exceptionally rich in calcium and perfectly absorbable by the horse’s body.

Together, these three raw materials form a well-balanced mineral blend that provides your horse with essential elements such as magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, sodium, potassium, copper, and iron. Each of these minerals contributes in its own way to your horse’s health and vitality.

For example, magnesium helps release energy from food, supports muscles, bones, and teeth, and promotes a normal balance in water and mineral metabolism. It plays a role in cell division, protein synthesis, and contributes to mental functions such as concentration and stress resistance.

Zinc also does a lot at once: it is involved in cell division, supports the immune system, and helps build proteins. Additionally, it is good for the skin, hooves, hair, vision, and a balanced metabolism. A true all-rounder that is especially valuable for horses in training, growth, or recovery.

Calcium is essential for strong bones and teeth, but it does much more. It supports energy metabolism, aids muscle and nerve function, and contributes to proper digestion and blood clotting. In combination with phosphorus, which also contributes to skeletal development and energy supply, it is important that the ratios are correct. For adult horses, a calcium-to-phosphorus ratio of approximately 2:1 to 3:1 is ideal. For young horses and foals, this may vary slightly. An imbalance between these two minerals can affect absorption and utilization in the body.

Other minerals in Moeder Aarde also play an important role. For example, copper and manganese contribute to energy metabolism, while iron helps the body transport oxygen and form red blood cells. Potassium supports normal blood pressure and healthy muscle function, and both copper and potassium have a positive effect on the nervous system. In addition, copper helps maintain healthy blood vessels and cartilage, and supports the transport of iron in the body.

Manganese supports the formation of connective tissue and the maintenance of strong bones. Iron is also involved in the horse’s learning ability, concentration, and natural energy levels. And because all these elements come from natural sources, they are easily absorbed and balanced with one another.

Mother Earth is therefore not a random mix, but a carefully considered supplement that allows the horse to choose exactly what its body needs at that moment.
