How It Works

Because B-complex vitamins are water-soluble, and the body does not store reserves, daily B-complex supplementation is needed. Pasture of good quality contains these vitamins in high levels. However, cereal grains in hard, concentrated feeds have an imbalanced or low natural vitamin content. This B-complex, particularly B-12 and B-1 (thiamin), is responsible for metabolizing the nutrients in the horse, including carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. B-5 (pantothenic acid) and B-2 (riboflavin) also help metabolize nutrients. B-2 is needed for healthy digestive tract mucous membranes. B-5 supports many of the hormones and glands that help in nutrient metabolism.

Indications
