At VitaMinalia, we always try to develop the most complete products possible that promote the health and performance of horses in different areas.
This also applies to VitaMinalia EQUINE OPTIGROW, this product not only ensures the healthy growth and development of foals and young horses, it also supports the fertility of broodmares. We would like to explain some of the components that contribute to this:
- Beta-carotene (also known as provitamin A), this vitamin is known for its positive effect on showing stallionhood and faster resumption of the cycle after birth. Beta-carotene is also absorbed by the yellow body and plays a role in the formation of progesterone, important for maintaining early gestation. Deficiencies in beta-carotene can therefore lead to increased embryonic mortality. Especially at the end of winter/early spring it is important to provide beta-carotene as the levels of beta-carotene in roughage are very low.
- Folic acid (vitamin B9) is very important for proper development of the unborn foal
- Vitamin E and selenium intervene in the formation of reproductive hormones. Mares deficient in these antioxidants also have an increased risk of giving birth to foals with congenital defects.
- Trace elements such as copper, zinc and manganese are also important for proper and regular ovulation.
VitaMinalia EQUINE OPTIGROW is enriched with all these elements, moreover, from the best absorbable sources. Thus, natural vitamin E is added and trace element from organic sources (chelates).
