UltraCruz® Equine Trace Mineral Supplement for Horses
- Contains Silicon, Selenium, Copper and more
- Can help support muscle contraction and nerve impulse conduction
- Helps provide essential minerals and replenishes electrolytes
- Aids in proper growth and development
UltraCruz® Equine Trace Mineral Supplement for Horses is a source of key ingredients that help support overall horse health. Minerals are essential for muscle contraction, nerve impulse conduction, and proper growth and development. During perspiration, essential minerals such as electrolytes are secreted and must be replaced in order to maintain proper fluid balance. The rapid consumption of minerals in the body depends on conditions such as growth rate and activity level.
Deficiency can result from supplying minerals at lower than recommended amounts in a horse's diet. In young horses, mineral deficiency during the growing period can cause skeletal abnormalities. All horses require trace minerals, however, performance horses and growing horses may especially benefit from the addition of this high quality supplement to their diet.
