Description
The Ultimate Performance Daily Balancer
- Just 50g per day (2 spoonsize measures) provides the daily recommended rate of the main vitamins and minerals for a large healthy horse at maintenance*
- Note, B vitamins do not give your horse extra ‘energy’ or calories, and do not ‘hot up’ your horse. B vitamins are essential for energy metabolism and support performance horses that are in high levels of work, or horses that are lacking in energy and stamina, but it will not ‘hot up’ a horse.
- Essential nutrients with negligible calories – ideal for ‘good doers’
- High levels of B vitamins for energy metabolism – ideal for performance horses or those horses lacking energy and stamina
- No added iron or manganese as most UK forage provides sufficient
- Includes essential amino acids lysine and methionine, often insufficient in UK forage
- With natural source vitamins – more readily utilised than synthetic forms
- All minerals provided in chelated forms (including calcium and magnesium)
- Powerful antioxidants including vitamin E, selenium and those found in blue green algae
- Includes Yeasacc to aid digestive health
- No wheat feed, soya hulls, dextrose, alfalfa or any other fillers or bulking agents
- No magnesium oxide – a gut irritant when fed at higher levels
