What is marshmallow root and why do owners feed it?
Marshmallow root is the root of Althaea officinalis. It contains mucilage, a plant material that thickens when mixed with water. The milled powder has a long history of traditional use and is fed by owners who want gentle botanical support for normal digestive comfort. It is often considered when a horse's everyday routine changes, such as in winter when there is more hay and less grazing, or around travel and box rest. Those changes still call for the basics: regular forage, fresh water and gradual feed transitions. Marshmallow root is not the same product as marshmallow leaf, and the two have different feeding instructions. Mix the root into damp feed and offer it promptly, as it thickens once wet. Follow this product's current feeding guide for the size of your horse. It is not a treatment for digestive disease; recurring discomfort, weight loss or changes in droppings need a conversation with your vet.
