Carrot Chips are made from fresh carrots with high carotene content and dried carefully to preserve the natural ingredients. Carrot Chips do not contain any additives. The carrots are grown in the flat terrain of Northern Germany known for its most fertile soil. The growing process is closely monitored and carrots are harvested at just the right time when the carotene is at its highest level.

Carrots are an excellent source of vitamins, trace elements, antioxidants, and the richest vegetable source of the pro-vitamin A carotenes.

For Horses with diarrhea
The natural ingredients within carrots are effective against diarrhea in ponies and horses. After just 2 days of OLEWO carrot feeding the intestine lining is calmed, resulting in a quick cure from diarrhea.

For Young and Growing Horses
The average horse has the greatest potential for growth at a very young age and if proper nutrition is not available, optimum growth will not be achieved. OLEWO carrots promote growth and are easy to digest and rich in vitamins and minerals to strengthen the important immune system of a young horse.

For Older Horses
As horses age, the deterioration of natural digestion and immune system should be compensated with a supplement of OLEWO carrots. Extra natural vitamins, minerals and trace elements reinforce and extend vitality and stamina. The natural, active ingredients of carrots stimulate the metabolism of the liver and thyroid, helping the formation of new blood cells.

For Horses suffering from or susceptible to laminitis
Carrots are an excellent source of fiber. The consumption of fiber makes horses feel full without consuming large amounts of grass and grains, which are often the trigger for laminitis.

For Stable Kept Horses
Many stable kept horses are given large amounts of grain in one feeding and then left for hours with nothing in their stomach, which is very disruptive to their digestive system. OLEWO Carrots will cure stomach upsets and maintain gastrointestinal health.

For Convalescent Horses
OLEWO Carrots provide the extra vitamins and minerals needed to help convalescent horses recuperate.

For Nursing and Pregnant Mares
Without pasturing, OLEWO carrots will be essential to provide extra vitamins and minerals, and especially the beta carotene.

Beta-Carotene
Carrots do not contain vitamin A, but they do contain large amounts of beta-carotene, a pre-cursor to Vitamin A. When beta-carotene is combined with fat or lipids, it is converted into vitamin A. The effects of vitamin A are good for skin and coat, with cancer fighting activities.

100 grams of OLEWO Carrots contains 50 mg carotene.

Antioxidants
The beta-carotene in carrots also acts as a potent antioxidant, a member of the healing family of carotenoids. Also found in beets, beta-carotene provides protection against certain cancers and heart disease.

Vitamins
Carrots are high in B vitamins such as vitamin B1 (thiamin), B3 (niacin), B-6 (pyridoxine) and folate, as well as vitamins C, E and K.

Trace Elements
The trace elements found in carrots, mostly in the form of their salts, are magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium, iodine and manganese. Trace elements are among the most important factors in maintaining and recovering health.

Dietary Fiber
Carrots are a great source of fiber. Dietary fiber for horses is essential for maintaining their gastrointestinal health, and can help in the prevention of diseases like diabetes, weight gain, irritable bowel syndrome and colitis. In addition, fiber facilitates smooth bowel movements and therefore prevents constipation.
