Hoof Strength

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.

Selenium is an essential trace element and plays a role in numerous physiological processes in the body. It is involved in cellular metabolism and is associated with the function of tissues with a high cell turnover rate, such as those found in the hoof horn.
As part of a balanced diet, selenium can contribute to the nutritional support of normal structural formation processes that are important for the stability and resilience of the hooves—especially in horses subjected to increased physical stress.

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.

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.

Diatomaceous earth is a natural source of silicon—a trace element that plays a role throughout the body as a component of connective tissue. Silicon is found in the skin, hair, hooves, cartilage, and ligaments, among other places. It is involved in structural processes and contributes to maintaining the normal condition of hooves and skin. A silicon supply tailored to the horse’s needs can be nutritionally beneficial, particularly for horses during the coat change or those with heavily stressed hooves.

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.

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.

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.

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 (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.

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.

Copper is an essential trace element involved in various physiological processes in the body—including those in connective tissue, the nervous system, and blood formation. It supports normal oxygen transport in the body and can protect cells from oxidative stress. Ensuring an adequate supply of copper can be particularly beneficial during periods of increased physical exertion.
