Properties:
• Biotine and Silicea (silicic acid) are well-known nutritional supplements which promote hoof growth. Biotine is employed in the body for healthy growth and development of the hoofs (also the skin and hair).
• This tissue (the hoofs) also requires Glucosamine sulphate and Chondroitine sulphate (90%). These ensure the forming of collagen and the production of proteoglycanes (pg’s). The pg’s ensure sturdy collagen.
If the hoof tissue is damaged, then loss of pg’s can occur which in turn leads to a decrease in the supporting collagen. This tissue is then more prone to inflammations and tissue infections resulting in a situation which is difficult to repair. Hoof Compound prevents and/or repairs this situation.
• MSM is organic sulphur which has many functions, such as improving digestion, being important as a carrier of many substances such as amino acids, selenium and other such substances in aid of improved cellular metabolism, the forming of sulphur bonds and the production of collagen and keratin among others.
The most important base material for the hoofs are sulphurous amino acids. MSM is one of the most important suppliers of sulphur with which these amino acids can form a compound.
• Calcium, magnesium and vitamin C are other tissue strengthening substances.
• According to the teachings of acupuncture, poorly developed hoofs are a result of a lack of life energy. For this reason, Artichoke, Milk Thistle, Dandelions, Centaury, and the likes have been added. In a short time, they ensure that the liver function improves.
Applications:
Brittle hoofs.
Slow hoof growth.
