Biotin seems to be the most popular vitamin for hoof care. Most farriers recommend high amounts of it when in fact horses are not usually in need of this vitamin unless they have digestive problems. B Vitamins, including Bitoin, are produced in the hind gut of the horse. Biotin can help to protect the outside of the hoof from moisture, but it is not necessarily involved in the overall growth of the hoof. The hoof is comprised of 95% protein. The horse actually needs collagen to produce keratin which is the strong protein that comprises most of the hoof. Since keratin is a protein, the most important supplement you can give for strong healthy hooves is one that contains amino acids - the building blocks of all protein. Hoof Secret contains necessary ingredients for hoof growth and strength. We don't use excess amounts of Biotin because it is not necessary! Finally, a hoof formula that really works! If your horse's hooves are not healthy chances are his diet is lacking. Insufficient amounts of certain amino acids can be a serious problem.
