Product Description

Vigorous Hair is a high-quality Complementary feed for horses that supports the nutritional needs of the skin, coat, and hooves. The carefully balanced combination of biotin, zinc, manganese, and B vitamins provides essential building blocks for normal skin function and the maintenance of coat and horn structure.

Especially during the coat change or when facing specific challenges such as intensive grooming or increased physical stress, Vigorous Hair can effectively supplement daily. A well-groomed appearance of the coat, long hair, and hooves can be an indication of adequate nutritional support.

Ingredients

Biotin

Biotin plays a vital role in the normal metabolism of skin, coat, and hooves. It is involved in forming keratin, a natural structural protein found in skin, hair, and hooves. A balanced intake of biotin can contribute to a shiny coat and strong hoof quality.

Vitamin B1

Vitamin B1 is a water-soluble B vitamin naturally found in grains, yeasts, and plant components. It plays a role in normal energy metabolism and can provide nutritional support for healthy skin, coat, and hooves. An adjusted supply can be particularly beneficial during periods of increased demand.

Vitamin B2

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) is a water-soluble B vitamin found naturally in herbs, grains, and yeast. It supports normal cell metabolism and plays a role in the physiological processes of skin and hoof health. Ensuring an adequate supply can help maintain healthy skin and hoof structures.

MSM

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a natural source of sulfur found in pasture grass, young green fodder, and certain vegetables. Sulfur is a vital building block for the body's structures, including skin, connective tissue, hair, and hooves. Providing enough MSM can nutritionally support these structures and, particularly during times of higher demand, support maintain a healthy coat and skin.

Omega 3

Omega-3 fatty acids—especially those from fish oil—are a valuable supplement in equine nutrition. They help ensure a balanced supply of essential fatty acids, particularly in diets heavy in grain or forage. Omega-3 fatty acids can maintain healthy skin and a shiny coat and promote overall Well-being.

Zinc

Zinc is an important trace element that plays a role in normal cell metabolism. It supports the natural function of skin, coat, and horn, contributing to a healthy overall appearance.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is an essential B vitamin found naturally in plant-based feed, yeast, and grains. It participates in many enzymatic processes and supports normal energy metabolism. Providing enough Niacinamide can nutritionally assist the physiological processes in the skin, coat, and hooves, and support the normal function of muscles, digestion, and the nervous system.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) is a water-soluble B vitamin found naturally in yeast, grains, and plant-based feed. It is involved in normal amino acid and fatty acid metabolism and contributes to the healthy function of the skin and liver.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) is an essential B vitamin found primarily in animal feed, including fermented products and brewer's yeast. It supports normal energy metabolism and can nutritionally aid the physiological processes involved in blood formation, cell function, and nerve metabolism. An adequate supply also contributes to the normal health of skin, coat, and hooves, especially during periods of high stress or in older horses.

Manganese

Manganese is an essential trace element involved in various enzymatic processes in the body, including energy metabolism and the formation of structural proteins like keratin. Providing enough manganese can nutritionally help maintain a normal coat structure.

Folic Acid

Folic acid (Vitamin B9) is an essential B vitamin that horses cannot produce on their own and must therefore get through their diet. It is involved in various physiological processes, including cell metabolism and the normal function of skin, coat, and long hair.

DL-Methionine

DL-Methionine is an essential amino acid involved in the formation of keratin, a structural protein found naturally in skin, hair, and hooves. A balanced supply of methionine can nutritionally support the quality of the coat and horn, especially during shedding, growth, or periods of high demand.

Product Questions

How many days does a bottle of Vigorous Hair last?

For large horses (standard daily dose of 30 ml), one bottle Vigorous Hair lasts 1 month. For small horses or ponies (standard daily dose of 20 ml), one bottle lasts about 1.5 months.

Is Vigorous Hair suitable as a course or for long-term feeding?

Vigorous Hair can be fed either on a long-term basis or intermittently. For acute situations (such as during the horses’ coat-shedding season or during periods of eczema), Vigorous Hair can be fed temporarily. Long-term feeding is particularly beneficial for horses with sensitive skin or a consistently dull coat.

Can I prepare the daily serving of the coat supplement in advance?

Yes, all of our products are suitable for preparation before feeding. Vigorous Hair can be prepared up to 24 hours before feeding.

Can I combine Vigorous Hair with other supplements?

Yes, a very popular combination is our Coat Change Bundle, which consists of Vigorous Hair and Liver Balance. When feeding both products at the same time, we recommend maintaining the daily dose for each: 30 ml (Large Horse) and 15 ml (small horse), respectively.

Please note, however, that not all products should be combined without caution.
If you’d like to combine these with other products, please feel free to contact us—we’d be happy to advise you personally.

When can I expect to see the first changes in my horse's coat and skin?

Results vary from horse to horse and depend on diet, metabolism, and the pet’s initial condition. Many customers report improvements in their horses coat and skin after a few days to a few weeks of regular use. We recommend feeding Vigorous Hair continuously for at least one bottle.

What should I do if my horse shows skin problems, is itchy, or rubs excessively?

If noticeable changes occur—such as severe itching, weeping areas, open sores, or bald spots on the horse’s coat—the cause should always be investigated by a veterinarian. Vigorous Hair can be fed as Complementary feed to provide a valuable addition of nutrients for skin and coat as part of the daily ration.

Can I feed Vigorous Hair to horses with sweet itch or other skin conditions?

When it comes to issues such as summer eczema in horses or eczema, clearly identifying the cause and implementing consistent management are crucial. Vigorous Hair can be fed as a supplement to support skin and coat metabolism through nutrition.

What should I do if my horse has a dull coat, rough hairs, or flaky skin?

A dull coat, bristly hair, flaky skin, or an uneven coat texture may indicate an increased need for nutrients—especially during the shedding season. Vigorous Hair contains important nutrients for a horse’s skin and coat, such as biotin and zinc.

Picky Horse: What if Vigorous Hair isn't eaten?

Vigorous Hair is a liquid supplement and is well accepted by most horses. However, if your horse refuses to take the product, our 30-day Taste Guarantee applies. You can easily mix Vigorous Hair into mash or moistened feed.

For which breeds and age groups is Vigorous Hair suitable?

Vigorous Hair is suitable for all horse breeds and age groups. There are no restrictions regarding age or type of use.

Can Vigorous Hair be fed to pregnant mares?

Feeding this product to pregnant mares should always be discussed with a veterinarian beforehand. The product contains ingredients that are generally suitable for pregnant mares.

Is Vigorous Hair permitted in competitive sports (doping)?

Yes, our product is Show safe. It does not contain any substances that are prohibited in competitive sports under current anti-doping guidelines.

Please always follow the current anti-doping guidelines (ADMR) of the FN and the FEI.
