Our Journey to EquiCharcoal
The development of EquiCharcoal has been a labour of love for our team. While EquiNectar has successfully supported thousands of horses with its active digestive enzymes and natural B vitamins, we understood that certain digestive challenges called for additional support – particularly during times of stress, dietary transitions, or environmental changes.
We're humbled by the trust you've placed in us with EquiNectar, and this has inspired us to expand our offerings with the same commitment to quality, science, and sustainability.
A Natural Partnership: EquiNectar and EquiCharcoal
We believe EquiCharcoal perfectly complements EquiNectar in supporting complete equine digestive health:
- EquiNectar provides active digestive enzymes (amylase, fructanase, phytase, cellulase, xylanase, and beta glucanase) to aid digestion, promote beneficial gut bacteria, and reduce starch load
- EquiCharcoal offers adsorptive properties to bind potentially harmful substances during times of digestive stress, helping to maintain gut comfort when your horse needs extra support
Together, they form a comprehensive approach to digestive health – EquiNectar actively supporting digestion daily, and EquiCharcoal providing targeted short-term support during challenging periods.
The Science Behind EquiCharcoal
Our new activated charcoal supplement has been carefully formulated with the same attention to detail that defines EquiNectar. Made exclusively from sustainable coconut shells, EquiCharcoal undergoes an acid-washing process to ensure exceptional purity and a gentle pH balance (6-8) that respects your horse's sensitive digestive system.
The activation process creates a highly porous structure with a remarkable surface area that works as a powerful adsorbent, binding to a wide range of substances that might otherwise cause digestive discomfort.
When to Consider EquiCharcoal
While EquiNectar continues to be our recommendation for daily digestive support, we envision EquiCharcoal as the perfect companion for specific situations:
- During seasonal grazing changes, especially in spring and autumn
- When introducing new feeds or changing hay or haylage
- Before, during, and after competitions or travel
- As additional support for horses with particularly sensitive digestive systems
- During stressful environmental periods or challenging weather
Our Commitment to Quality
Environmental responsibility remains central to our philosophy. By using coconut shells – agricultural by-products – for EquiCharcoal, we've chosen a sustainable approach that supports responsible farming practices while creating an effective product.
Sustainable Choices for Horse and Planet
Like all Tharos products, EquiCharcoal meets strict quality standards. It complies with the British Equestrian Trade Association (BETA) Naturally Occurring Prohibited Substances (NOPS) code, making it suitable for competition horses. It's also manufactured under Universal Feed Assurance Scheme (UFAS) and Feed Materials Assurance Scheme (FEMAS) standards.
Our controlled particle size and hardness reflects our attention to practical details, particularly in reducing potentially harmful dust. EquiCharcoal contains no artificial additives, fillers, or preservatives – continuing our commitment to natural equine care.
Join Us on This New Chapter
The launch of EquiCharcoal represents an exciting new chapter for our company and, we hope, for your horses' wellbeing. We're eager to hear your experiences as you incorporate this new supplement alongside EquiNectar in your equine care routine.
EquiCharcoal comes in a 500g container with a recommended daily dose of 25g for ponies and 50g for horses, designed for short-term supportive use rather than continuous feeding.
As with all aspects of equine health, we recommend consulting with your veterinarian or equine nutritionist when adding EquiCharcoal to your horse's regimen, especially for animals on medication or with specific health conditions.
Thank you for your continued trust in Tharos Ltd products. We remain dedicated to developing natural, effective solutions for equine health, driven by our passion for horses and commitment to their wellbeing.
