Jujubae - Feed Ingredient

Jujubae refers to the dried fruit of Ziziphus jujuba, commonly known as jujube or Chinese date. It has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine for its calming, digestive, and nutritive properties.

In equine supplements, jujubae may be included for its content of naturally occurring sugars, flavonoids, saponins, and polysaccharides. These constituents are associated with antioxidant activity and potential soothing effects on the digestive or nervous system, although equine-specific data is limited.

Jujubae is generally considered safe, but its effects in horses are not well documented.
