Natural Liver Support & Detox – 100% Pure and Herbal
Help your horse feel their best from the inside out with HorseBlends Milk Thistle Seeds Powder — a gentle, natural supplement known for its powerful liver-supporting properties and overall detoxifying effects.
🌿 Why Horses Love It:

It’s ideal for horses recovering from medication, toxin exposure, or rich grazing, and helps maintain a healthy coat, digestion, and energy levels.

Sustainably grown and harvested from the seeds of the Silybum marianum plant, our milk thistle is finely ground to ensure maximum nutrient availability. We never add fillers or bulking agents — just 100% pure, natural seed powder.
