  Nutraceuticals are products derived from food sources with extra health benefits in addition to their basic nutritional value.

  Amino Acids (x8)

  Methionine (an integral sulphur source) & lysine are essential for hoof repair and development. Includes arginine (improves blood flow around the body and in the hoof), glutamic acid, glycine, proline, threonine & tryptophan.  

  Biotin

  Aids the hardening of hoof horn to prevent cracking. It is an essential requirement for keratin production in the hoof, laminae and the coronary band and is critical to maintain overall hoof integrity and condition. Also helps to maintain normal blood glucose levels.

  Copper, Manganese & Vitamin C (x3)

  All essential for maintaining the growth of tendons, ligaments and hooves, the formation of cartilage and the elasticity of connective tissue. It is very important for the working horse to maintain its freedom of movement and suppleness when in motion. A complex structure like the hoof endures significant pressures and will include substantial supportive networks of tissues.

  Curcumin

  An active ingredient of the spice, turmeric. It is a natural and powerful antioxidant and supports the normal anti-inflammatory action of the body.

  MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)

  Essential for the manufacture of collagen and a source of sulphur, which helps to form cross links with other molecules that maintain the strength and integrity of connective tissues.

  Natural Buffering Material

  Natural buffering material helps to stabilise pH levels in the hindgut at around 6.5-7 to support friendly bacteria that can be susceptible to acidic conditions. The pH in the digestive tract can be lowered by sugar overload, so restricting intake and providing natural acid buffering aids the microflora and gut wall integrity.

  Oligosaccharides (Mannan) (Prebiotic)

  Support the immune system by maintaining naturally high levels of macrophage activity to block harmful organisms being absorbed into the bloodstream.

  Omega 3 Fatty Acids

  Omega 3 fatty acids provide the precursors of anti-inflammatory regulators and are a daily source of essential fat components, providing the correct dietary balance with pro-inflammatory regulatory component omega 6. Omega 3's are also found in large concentrations in spermatozoa and are essential for maintaining cell wall integrity and preventing moisture/oil loss from the skin.

  Rosehip Extract

  Naturally high in biotin and vitamin C, rosehip promotes circulation whilst adding a palatable flavour.

  Vitamin D3

  Crucial for bone development. Also important for the immune system, fertility and the release of insulin.

  Vitamin E (Alpha-Tocopherol)

  A biological antioxidant and essential for healthy reproductive, muscular, circulatory, nervous and immune systems.

  Yeast Cultures

  Help to stabilise the pH in the foregut and encourage the development of beneficial fibre digesting bacteria. Significantly improve the digestibility of phosphorus from normal feed.

  Zinc (Protected)

  Essential for keratin production and hoof integrity. Supports insulin production, wound healing and the immune system.
