Supplementing with B-Vitamin Pak can support your horse’s well-being, mood, energy levels, coat quality and more.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWHY SUPPLEMENT B-VITAMINS IN YOUR HORSE?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe horse is able to synthesize the majority of B-vitamins in the hind gut, thanks to its bacterial population. These vitamins are also very efficiently recycled within the body and not typically needed in large quantities in the diet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor this reason, it is common for equine nutritionists to indicate that horses do not need supplemental B-vitamins to prevent deficiency.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHowever, studies consistently show that supplementing 20 mg\/day of biotin will improve hoof growth and structure. This is why all Mad Barn mineral and vitamin products provide 20 mg of biotin\/day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis indicates that endogenous production levels of B Vitamins is not sufficient for optimal health with current feeding and management practices.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSimilarly, if you supplement thiamine and note an improvement in your horse’s mood and behaviour, then clearly B-vitamin levels were insufficient prior to supplementation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mad Barn","offers":[{"title":"600g","offer_id":47413998813442,"sku":null,"price":58.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5kg","offer_id":47413998846210,"sku":null,"price":454.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1855\/2923\/files\/FullSizeRender_88a8bbc2-caec-4ef5-a402-eec654623d32.jpg?v=1772121413","url":"https:\/\/horseandhound.ca\/products\/mad-barn-b-vitamin-pak","provider":"Horse \u0026 Hound Tack Shop ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
