Ingredient Information:
BIOTIN (VITAMIN B7) is a B-complex vitamin that plays a vital role in maintaining the overall health and strength of a horse's hooves. Hoof health is crucial for a horse's mobility, performance, and overall well-being. Biotin is known to enhance hoof growth and improve the quality of the hoof horn.

CALCIUM can be beneficial, especially for horses with hoof issues such as weak horn structure or slow hoof growth. It helps ensure that the horse receives an adequate supply of this essential mineral, which is necessary for optimal hoof development and maintenance.

CHELATED ZINC has improved bioavailability, meaning it is more easily absorbed and utilised by the horse's body compared to other forms of zinc. This increased absorption can lead to better utilisation of zinc by the hoof tissues. Contributing to the production of keratin, the protein responsible for hoof growth and strength, zinc plays a crucial role in enzymatic reactions that are necessary for keratin synthesis, making it an essential nutrient for maintaining healthy hooves.

METHIONINE is an essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and strength of a horse's hooves. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and methionine is specifically involved in the synthesis of keratin, which forms the structural basis of the hoof horn.

MSM is a naturally occurring sulphur compound providing several benefits for horse hooves. It supports the production of keratin, the protein responsible for the growth and strength of hooves. By providing an adequate supply of sulphur, MSM aids in the formation of strong, resilient hooves that are less prone to cracking, splitting, and other hoof-related problems.

PHOSPHORUS works in conjunction with calcium to form and maintain strong bones and hooves. It helps in the formation and mineralisation of the hoof horn, contributing to its strength and durability. Adequate levels of phosphorus are essential for proper hoof growth, as well as for repairing and maintaining hoof tissues.

Hoof growth and regeneration is very much an "inside-outside" process. Painting something onto the outside of the hoof won't cause regeneration, the hoof must receive nutrients from the blood stream in order to stimulate growth and repair. Your answer is daily supplementation with Ranvet Hoof Food.

The coronary band is the primary source of growth and nutrition for the hoof wall. Ranvet Hoof Food provides high levels of Biotin together with other essential pre-Keratins which are needed to promote hoof growth and repair. Biotin has been proved to stimulate horn production, and to lay it down at a faster rate, not only in the coronary band but also in the laminate, thus improving the strength and integrity of the periople, hoof wall, sole, frog and white line junction.

Directions and Dosage Rates: Treatment - 30g daily, mixed through the feed. Routine Prevention: 15g daily, mixed through the feed. Pregnant Mares: 60g daily, during the last quarter of gestation. A measure is provided. One level measure holds 30g of HOOF FOOD added to a dry feed.

Overall improvement in hoof horn growth and strength generally occurs within 3 to 5 months. In cases of severe hoof damage, and with very large horses supplementation should continue for 9 to 12 months, or longer.

Hoof Food is a hoof growth promoter for horses. Hoof Food aids in the prevention and treatment of cracked wall, contracted heels, thin soles, bruised soles, seedy toe, shallow heels, split frogs, laminitis and shelly feet.

Ative constituents: otin (500mg/kg), Gelatin (66.6g/kg), Sulphur (133.3g/kg), Methionine (286.6g/kg), Choline (6.8g/kg), Zinc (240mg/kg) and Magnesium (164.7g/kg).

CEN NO3 Boost is formulated to help improve performance & health in horses.

A healthy circulation for your horse is absolutely vital for performance and recovery. This can be negatively impacted by stress, poor diet and inflammation. When blood circulation is decreased, this can be associated with hoof conditions, muscle disorders/ailments, tendon injuries, navicular disease or laminitis.
By supporting the dilation and relaxation of blood vessels, blood flow movement into the vital areas can be improved.

The CEN NO3 Boost formulation promotes nitric oxide production in the horse’s body, supporting the various pathways of synthesis.

CEN NO3 Boost not only provides the natural nitrates for circulation but is also a potent source of naturally occurring phytochemicals and nutrients to help support your horse’s health from their heart to lungs, tendons to muscles, skin to hoof health.



WHY USE CEN NO3 BOOST?

1. BOOST NITRIC OXIDE
CEN NO3 Boost is naturally rich in nitrates. In the blood, through a chain reaction, your horse’s body changes nitrates into nitric oxide, which helps with blood flow and blood pressure. Nitric oxide can have a very positive effect on training and performance due to the following functions:
• Blood flow regulation
• Mitochondrial efficiency (energy output)
• May increase oxygen delivery throughout the body (muscle oxygenation)
• Help improve time to full fatigue (stamina)

2. BLOOD CIRCULATION/BLOOD VESSEL HEALTH
Collagen peptides provide blood vessel health support, to maintain a “strong and flexible” structure. This is especially important for consistent blood flow.
 Nitric Oxide action on the arteries allows vasodilation which allows more nutrients and more oxygen to the cell to assist in performance and overall health.

3. BLEEDERS LUNG HEALTH
Exercise induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH) in horses is often referred to as “bleeding”.
EIPH is most common in racing horses Thoroughbreds and Standardbreds. It can also occur at various degrees in disciplines such as eventing, show jumpers, polocrosse, barrel racers, reining horses, cutting horses, and show jumpers.
 Nitric oxide helps relax the smooth muscle including the walls of the blood vessels, helping them open up and reduce the blood flow resistance.

     

4. TYING UP/MUSCLE HEALTH
Due to the nitric oxide effect on skeletal muscle glucose uptake, it can be beneficial for muscle health. Increasing the blood flow to working muscles can help with muscles in training in helping reduce the time to

Hoof Fix Complete Hoof & Coat Care is a comprehensive blend of all the essential requirements for healthy hoof growth. The product is fortified with high levels of biotin and methionine to aid the development of healthy skin and strong, healthy hooves.

Methionine is a sulphur-containing protein amino acid that is minimally soluble in water providing bio-available sulphur, vital for healthy hoof horn. It is the most important amino acid for hoof growth and is the foundation for collagen production. Dietary supplements high in methionine, but not balanced for zinc and copper, can cause deficiencies and poor horn. In excess, methionine can block the absorption of zinc, copper and iron.

Biotin is Vitamin H, a member of the B Complex vitamins. Like all B-vitamins, biotin is water soluble. That means it is not stored in body fats. Since it cannot be stored, it must be present in the daily diet. Biotin is the second-most important nutrient in hoof growth and repair. It helps alleviate eczema and dermatitis through utilization of proteins. Biotin acts as a co-factor in many of the body's enzymatic reactions. It is essential in your horse's body for the production of fatty acids, glycogen production and for the production of proteins. Biotin deficiencies cause skin lesions, sparse hair growth, dry, scaly skin, and brittle, cracking hooves. Hoof deformities such as dishing and low heels have also been associated with biotin deficiencies.

Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane (MSM) is an organic compound derived from DMSO (topical anti-inflammatory). It is an excellent dietary source of Sulphur, an element that is important in the formation of connective tissue and is credited with enhancing blood circulation and reducing inflammation and epiphysitis.

Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) helps heal wounds; contributes to the formation of cells, tissues, teeth, hooves, tendons and bones; and helps to boosts the immune system.

Zinc is a mineral component of tissues like skin and hoof horn, essential to support healthy keratin formation within the hoof wall. Zinc helps to improve hoof integrity through wound healing, epithelium maintenance, and keratin synthesis and maturation. Healthy keratin formation prevents the hoof wall becoming brittle or soft. Keratin is also a major component of healthy skin.

Iodine helps to control metabolism and is recommended for horses with weak hooves or hoof wall problems.

Copper can help increase hoof hardness. Horses deficient in copper may be more susceptible to heel cracks, white line disease, and sole abscesses.

Choline helps eliminate poisons from the system through the liver and helps nerve responses to aid the healing.

HOOF FIX may assist in the correction of heel cracks, white line disease, brittle, cracking hooves, sole abscesses and hoof deformities such as dishing and low heels as well as eczema and dermatitis, skin lesions, sparse hair growth and dry, scaly skin.
