Ingredient information
BIOTIN (VITAMIN B7) is a B-complex vitamin that plays a vital role in maintaining the overall health and strength of a horse's hooves. Hoof health is crucial for a horse's mobility, performance, and overall well-being. Biotin is known to enhance hoof growth and improve the quality of the hoof horn.
CALCIUM can be beneficial, especially for horses with hoof issues such as weak horn structure or slow hoof growth. It helps ensure that the horse receives an adequate supply of this essential mineral, which is necessary for optimal hoof development and maintenance.
CHELATED ZINC has improved bioavailability, meaning it is more easily absorbed and utilised by the horse's body compared to other forms of zinc. This increased absorption can lead to better utilisation of zinc by the hoof tissues. Contributing to the production of keratin, the protein
responsible for hoof growth and strength, zinc plays a crucial role in enzymatic reactions that are
necessary for keratin synthesis, making it an essential nutrient for maintaining healthy hooves.
METHIONINE is an essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and strength of a horse's hooves. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and methionine is specifically involved in the synthesis of keratin, which forms the structural basis of the hoof horn. MSM is a naturally occurring sulphur compound providing several benefits for horse hooves.
It supports the production of keratin, the protein responsible for the growth and strength of hooves. By providing an adequate supply of sulphur, MSM aids in the formation of strong, resilient hooves that are less prone to cracking, splitting, and other hoof-related problems.
PHOSPHORUS works in conjunction with calcium to form and maintain strong bones and hooves. It helps in the formation and mineralisation of the hoof horn, contributing to its strength and durability. Adequate levels of phosphorus are essential for proper hoof growth, as well as for repairing and maintaining hoof tissues.
