Equine America Biotin Xtra Powder 2.5kg Horse & Pony Hoof Support Supplement

Equine America Biotin Xtra Powder – 2.5kg

A hoof supplement supplying 20mg of biotin, 100mg of zinc and 900mg of DL-methionine in a 50g daily serving, on an alfalfa and calcium carbonate base. Those three go together for a reason: biotin is the vitamin the horn-building cells need, methionine supplies the sulphur that cross-links keratin, and zinc is the cofactor without which neither does much.

MSM adds a second bio-available sulphur source, and brewers yeast contributes natural B vitamins. It is pitched as the everyday, affordable option rather than the high-dose one — at 20mg of biotin it sits at the sensible maintenance end. BETA NOPS and UFAS accredited, though note the MSM content is a threshold substance under the Rules of Racing.

Performance & Benefits

• A full 20mg of biotin per 50g daily serving, to maintain hoof horn quality.
• DL-methionine at 900mg per serving supports keratin production.
• Zinc at 100mg per serving, the cofactor for keratin formation.
• MSM as an additional bio-available source of sulphur.
• Calcium from two sources — alfalfa and calcium carbonate.
• Brewers yeast supplies natural B vitamins for hoof, skin and coat.
• BETA NOPS and UFAS accredited.
