Ingredients

Vitamin B1

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) is a water-soluble B vitamin naturally found in grains, yeasts, and herbs. It supports normal energy metabolism and is involved in physiological functions of the nervous system and muscles. An appropriate supply can be particularly beneficial during high exertion.

Calcium

Calcium is a macromineral that plays a role in the body, particularly in the skeleton and in energy metabolism. It is involved in the function of cell membranes and nerves and serves as a structural component for bones and teeth. Ensuring an adequate supply of calcium is particularly important for young, older, or athletic horses.

Manganese

Manganese is an essential trace element and a component of various enzymes that play a role in energy metabolism and the formation of connective tissue, cartilage, and bone, among other processes. It can support the normal function of the musculoskeletal system through nutritional supplementation—especially in horses subjected to increased physical exertion.

Copper

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.

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.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is an essential B vitamin found primarily in animal-based foods such as fermented products or brewer’s yeast. It supports normal energy metabolism and can support the physiological processes of the immune system through nutrition. An adequate intake also contributes to the normal function of blood formation, cell metabolism, and nerve metabolism—especially during periods of high stress or in older age.

Iron

Iron is an essential trace element and a component of important protein compounds in the body, such as hemoglobin. In equine nutrition, it can support normal blood formation and oxygen transport—especially during periods of high physical exertion or when there is an increased need due to dietary factors.

Folic Acid

Folic acid (vitamin B9) is an essential B vitamin that horses cannot produce on their own and must therefore obtain through their diet. It plays a role in physiological processes related to cellular metabolism and normal blood formation. A targeted supply of folic acid can support overall vitality, particularly in older horses or those under heavy strain.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin with antioxidant properties. It can protect cells from oxidative stress and supports important processes in muscle and cellular metabolism. An adequate supply of vitamin E can also benefit the immune system—especially in older horses or those under physical strain.

Selenium

Selenium is an essential trace element that plays a role in various metabolic processes in the body. It can protect cells from oxidative stress and supports normal muscle function. An adequate intake of selenium can be nutritionally beneficial, especially during periods of high physical exertion, such as during exercise.

Vitamin B2

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) is a water-soluble B vitamin that occurs naturally in yeast, grains, and green plants. It supports normal energy metabolism and is involved in physiological processes related to skin, cell, and hoof metabolism. In equine nutrition, vitamin B2 is traditionally used to ensure an adequate supply of this micronutrient in a balanced diet—especially during periods of increased stress or when liver function is impaired.

Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin used in horse feeding to support calcium and phosphorus metabolism. It contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and the normal physiological function of the immune system, particularly in horses with limited exposure to sunlight or during periods of increased physical exertion.

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.

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.

Iodine

Iodine is an essential trace element that helps support normal thyroid function in horses. Ensuring an adequate supply can be particularly beneficial during periods of hormonal changes, such as the seasonal coat change, or for breeding horses.

Sodium

Sodium chloride provides the electrolytes sodium and chloride, which play a role in maintaining fluid balance and osmotic equilibrium in the body. Targeted supplementation can help support electrolyte balance through nutritional means, particularly during periods of heavy sweating, physical exertion, or stressful situations.
