UltraCruz® Equine Advanced Hoof Supplement for Horses contains beneficial ingredients that may support healthy horse hoof strength and growth in a convenient pelleted formula. Equine hoof supplement for horses is a comprehensive collection of supplemental ingredients that works to encourage hoof growth and help keep hooves strong. Biotin acts as one of the key components involved in energy generation, protein metabolism, fatty acid synthesis and promoting hoof growth.
Zinc is involved in connective tissue formation, antioxidant protection, carbohydrate metabolism and immune system function. It is most recognized for its role in supporting healthy skin and hooves.
Cobalt is used by intestinal microorganisms to produce Vitamin B12, which works with iron and copper to help form healthy red blood cells to support hoof circulation.
Copper is beneficial for production of connective tissues including tendons, ligaments, cartilage and bone to help aid in normal hoof growth. It is also involved in making iron readily available to the body for blood production, skin and coat pigment, and for proper nerve signaling.
For advanced hoof care for brittle or cracked hooves, pair with either UltraCruz® Equine Wellness Performance Supplement for Horses or UltraCruz® Equine Wellness/Joint Performance Supplement for Horses to offer even more support.
