Why 100% is not enough for your horse

If your horse only gets exactly what it needs, its body has no buffer to draw on.

It needs an extra surplus – a kind of safety margin – so that there are also resources to:

• fight infections

• whole damage

• recover from hard work or stress

👉 That's why Every Day Happy, Peak Performance and Supreme Minerals are formulated so that your horse gets a little more than 100% of the most important minerals when you follow the dosage instructions.

Four minerals that many horses lack

Blood tests often show that horses are particularly deficient in magnesium, selenium, zinc and copper .

Magnesium – calm and muscles

• Helps muscles and nerves work properly

• Gives the body peace after work and stress
  Deficiency can cause: nervousness, irritability and muscle tremors.

Selenium – the body's shield

• Danish soil is low in selenium – horses rarely get enough through grass or hay

• Protects cells, immune system and metabolism

• Works with B vitamins for detoxification

• Protects the gastric mucosa from tissue damage due to inflammation
  Deficiency can cause: weak muscles and problems in foals (e.g. difficulty sucking or breathing).

Zinc – strong hooves and healthy skin

• Keeps skin, fur and hooves healthy

• Supports appetite and immune system
  Deficiency can cause: dry skin, poor hooves and skin problems.

Copper – blood, joints and tendons

• Helps the body use iron to form red blood cells

• Strengthens connective tissue, skin and tendons

• Together with zinc and biotin it provides healthy hooves
  Deficiency can cause: weak tendons, joint problems (e.g. OCD) and poorer healing.

In short

👉 Your horse needs a buffer - a little extra energy that gives the body strength in everyday life.
👉 That's why Every Day Happy, Peak Performance and Supreme Minerals are formulated to cover - and provide exactly the buffer the horse needs.

For the attentive reader – stomach ulcers, healing and nutrition

If you treat your horse's stomach ulcer, you risk unintentionally slowing down the body's ability to heal – both damaged tissues and the stomach ulcer itself.

Antacid medications (e.g. omeprazole) can alter the absorption of several important nutrients in the small intestine. Research shows, among other things:

• Reduced calcium absorption at higher pH (15–20% lower)

• Impaired protein digestion , as pepsin requires low stomach acid (pH < 3)

• Generally lower utilization of minerals when stomach acid is inhibited

➡️ The result can be poorer conditions for healing – not only of common injuries, but also of the stomach ulcer itself.

What can you do about feeding?

You can strengthen your horse's nutritional buffer with simple measures:

• Continuous roughage – including straw, so the stomach is never empty

• Supplementary fibers from e.g. RC +Energy Fiber Mash or RC +Fiber Mash

• Sufficient protein – the body's building blocks for repair

• Adequate vitamins and minerals via Peak Performance or Supreme Minerals

• RC Movement (OvoMet®) – contains eggshell membrane with natural components (collagen, hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, elastin, keratin, etc.) that support joints, connective tissue, skin, muscles, nerves and digestion. This ingredient is quickly absorbed and contributes to the body's own processes.

👉 In this way, you can give your horse the extra boost that makes a real difference to its healing and recovery ability.
