Organic trace minerals
Highly absorbable organic sources of zinc, copper, manganese, cobalt, and selenium maximize tissue uptake of these essential nutrients.
Bone, Hoof & Cartilage Promoter
Chelated calcium, phosphorus, and trace minerals combined with glucosamine to sustain strong hooves, joints, and skeletal development.
Calcified seaweed, vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, and organic trace elements combined with MSM, Chondroitin & glucosamine-based joint nutrients to promote bone, hoof, and joint development and maintenance in breeding horses, competitive athletes, and horses in recovery or retirement.
Formulated as a superior bone, hoof, and cartilage supplement, this blend supplies bio-available calcium, balanced macro-minerals, organic trace minerals, essential amino acids, and connective tissue nutrients for horses of all ages and workloads.
Ideal for mares in late pregnancy and lactation, competition horses with demanding joint loads, horses in retirement, and any horse needing targeted skeletal and hoof reinforcement.
Proven effective for
- Foals from mares supplemented during the last trimester show noticeably fewer developmental orthopedic issues.
- Ideal for horses managing chronic joint and hoof challenges, including laminitis cases and seniors in or out of work.
- Supports older horses and retirees that need additional skeletal and joint nourishment.
Key nutritional actions
Essential amino acids
Lysine and methionine underpin immune resilience and growth. They are critical building blocks for collagen and elastin within bone matrix, tendons, skin, and cartilage, and enable biotin to perform optimally.
Hoof quality
Calcium, biotin, lysine, methionine, sulphur, and chelated zinc and copper combine to promote dense, resilient hoof horn.
Skeletal strength
Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and organic trace minerals sustain correct bone and joint development as well as long-term maintenance.
Calcified seaweed base
Red seaweed delivers naturally bio-available calcium and magnesium with complementary trace minerals while remaining low in iodine.
Joint repair
Glucosamine sulphate, MSM, and chondroitin sulphate assist cartilage repair, lubricate joints, and preserve connective tissue integrity.
Natural pH buffering
Calcium from calcified seaweed buffers stomach acidity, protecting against ulcers while supporting the circulatory, nervous, and immune systems.
Stress resilience
Organic zinc, selenium, copper, and manganese with magnesium, B-complex vitamins, and vitamin C help neutralize toxins released during physical or emotional stress.
Antioxidant defense
Elevated zinc, selenium, and vitamins E and C defend cells from free-radical damage and sustain the immune response.
Fertility support
Selenium, zinc, copper, and manganese in organic form, together with vitamins E and A, promote reproductive efficiency in breeding mares and stallions.
Feeding instructions
Top-dress onto the daily concentrate ration and mix well. The supplied bucket contains a 100 g scoop to assist with accurate daily feeding. Adjust according to veterinary or nutritional guidance.
| Horse type | Suggested daily amount |
|---|---|
| Ponies | 50 g per day |
| Horses > 4 kg concentrate per day | 50 g per day |
| Horses < 4 kg concentrate per day | 50 – 100 g per day |
| Breeding mares (last trimester) | 125 g per day |
| Breeding mares (lactating) | 50 – 125 g per day |
| Growing horses | 50 – 100 g per day |
| Laminitic or serious hoof/joint/bone cases | 125 – 150 g per day |
Always follow the recommendations of your nutritionist or veterinarian when tailoring dosages.
