Farnam Farnam Horse Health Vita B-1 Crumbles Supplement for Horses, Supports optimal muscle activity and metabolism for performance, 3 pounds, 48 day supply

A horse requires a variety of nutrients to maintain its health. The B vitamins are a group of related vitamins essential for regulating metabolism. A lack of any B vitamins (thiamine, niacin, riboflavin, biotin) may result in decreased feed intake, which ultimately affects performance, weight management, and overall efficiencies. Bacteria synthesize B-vitamins in the horse's hindgut; however, body storage is poor. Supplemental B vitamins may be beneficial for young, old, debilitated, or hard-working performance horses, as these types of horses may have a decreased population of bacteria in their hindgut. Thiamine (vitamin B-1) is necessary for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, enabling the horse to get the most from his diet and perform his best. Horse Health Vita B-1 Crumbles supports optimal muscle activity and metabolism for strenuously exercised horses and helps keep horses in peak condition.
