Autumn is clearly in the country. The windy and rainy weather therefore puts pressure on the resistance of humans and animals. This causes more infections and diseases during this period. Through proper nutrition, however, the overall health and resistance can be supported so that infections have less chance. We would like to summarize some points of interest:

First, it is important that horses be fed a diet that puts them in optimal condition, this means not too thin and not too fat. After all, both skinny and fat horses have a higher risk of becoming seriously ill. In addition, fiber-rich feed is important to achieve healthy digestion and intestinal flora. So again, roughage is the basis supplemented with an appropriate amount of concentrate to get your horse in the right condition.

In addition, you can further support the resistance with specific nutrients. Both in VitaMinalia Equine SPORT, OPTIGROW and BALANCER a lot of attention has been paid to these elements.

First of all, our products contain all important vitamins, especially vitamin A, E and C are very important for a well-functioning immune system. For example, studies already showed that foals got much less sick after a long transport when they were supplemented with vitamin E and C compared to foals that did not receive a supplement.

Trace elements also play an important role in immunity. In particular, zinc and selenium are known to be very important. Among other things, zinc plays a role in maintaining the skin barrier and the activity of immune cells. Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that also contributes to the activation of immune cells. All VitaMinalia products contain these trace elements in organic form making them extra absorbable.

In addition, sufficient high-quality proteins and amino acids are important. After all, these are the main building blocks of immune cells.

VitaMinalia Equine SPORT and OPTIGROW also contain various other antioxidants and plant extracts that support overall health in addition to the above elements.

Here it is not only the quantity of all these individual nutrients that is important, but also their relationship to each other. For example, an excess of zinc can cause copper to be absorbed less well. With VitaMinalia products you can be sure that also here the right balance is respected!
