With Vitamin E + Selenium
Calxequin® contains key ingredients such as biotin to support quality hoof growth, essential amino acids methionine and lysine to support hoof integrity, and copper and zinc to support hoof strength and durability, all in one daily scoop. Vitamin E and selenium provide antioxidant properties that support hoof health.
HOOF GROWTH
Calxequin® contains biotin to support quality hoof growth. Biotin supplementation has been shown to support the quality and growth of hooves in horses. This vitamin is necessary for the formation of proteins that make up the hoof.
HOOF STRENGTH AND DURABILITY
Calxequin® contains copper and zinc, two ingredients that support hoof strength and durability. Copper and zinc play important roles in the formation of protein, which is important for horses’ strong and durable hooves.
HOOF INTEGRITY
Calxequin® includes methionine and lysine, essential amino acids for protein production in horse hooves that can often be limited in supply in the equine diet.
Proteins support hoof integrity. Protein deficiency is associated with signs of poor hoof quality such as crackling, crumbly, or poor growing hoof walls. Methionine and lysine supplementation may be recommended when signs of poor hoof quality are noted in horses.
ANTIOXIDANT HEALTH
Calxequin® contains vitamin E and selenium. These antioxidants incorporate themselves into the cells and junctions in the hoof helping to protect from oxidative stress, and maintain hoof function.
It is important to provide daily supplementation because vitamin E levels in grass decrease significantly once it is cut for hay. Additionally, some areas have low levels of selenium in the soil.
