Vitamine B supplement with B1, B2, B6-, and B12-vitamins, extra sulphur (as MSM) and brewer´s yeast. To be used during shedding/moulting, by fattigue, poor appetite, seniority, stress, hard work, and restitution after infections or surgery. Restores the horse´s B-vitamin level back to normal in 3-4 weeks.Horses generate B-vitamins themselves.B-vitamins play a vital part in the metabolism of a horse or pony's energy. They are a group of vitamins which are water soluble and are needed by a horse for the metabolism of important nutrients, especially protein, fat, and carbohydrates. A horse can generate its own B vitamins with help from the micro-organisms (bacteria) that populate the large intestine. When conditions are at an optimum these micro-organisms can supply all the B vitamins that the horse needs. However, many factors can lead to a decrease in horses´ own production of B-vitamins. The most common are too little or too poor quality roughage but also a diet rich in starch and/or sugar, infections, high age, poor teeth, hard work, or stress can lead to deficiencies. Furthermore the horse´s need for B-vitamins is higher than normal during periods of shedding/moulting and hard work/competition. Typical symptoms of deficiencies are fatigue, anxiety, poor appetite, prolonged periods of shedding, and poor(er) skin/coat/hooves. If deficiencies are suspected to be related to the horses´ diet a change in the diet (espcially the roughage) combined with supplementation with B+ for 3-4 weeks is normally sufficient. The same goes for shedding/moulting, and restitution after infections or surgery. When horses have extra need for B vitamins due to stress/hard work, or simply because of poorer function of the large intestine (very common among senior horses) prolonged supplementation can be beneficial. Because B vitamins are water soluble surplus B vitamins cannot be stored by a horse for later use.Palatable and easy-dosable.EquiForce B+ is based on alfalfa, natural herbs, and natural flavours which makes the product very palatable and considerably healthier than a supplement based on sugar or syrup. The product is a powder with equally high bioavailability as a syrup-based supplement but much easier and hygienic to dose. Furthermore higher concentrations of active ingredients is possible in a powder because no large volumes of liquid (water, syrup, or oil) is added.
