Produces shine & dapple. Whether it is a sale or a show the end result is to stand out in the crowd in order to capture the buyers or judges eye. Hygain Gleam provides these nutrients to bring out the gleam in your horse's coat resulting in a rich healthy lustre. Hygain Gleam is a blend of quality ingredients including biotin, zinc, methionine and xanthrophyll pigments for those horses that may benefit from additional supplementation.
Skin and hair, the body's first line of defence against natural elements, are the most visible signs of a horse's overall condition.
All horse owners like to see their horses in full bloom with a healthy, shiny coat. Research has found that horses supplemented with additional zinc, methionine and biotin have demonstrated superior fine hair growth. This in turn results in softer, finer hair, which we see as a glossy coat. Omega essential fatty acids have also been known to have a positive effect on the coat and skin condition of your horse.
Supplementation with the ingredients in Hygain Gleam will aid in show and sales preparation as well as reduce grooming time to produce a healthy dappled coat.
Active Constituents (per 40g dose):
Biotin - 15mg
Biotin is a water soluble B-group vitamin often referred to as Vitamin H. Research suggests that in horses supplemented with biotin, keratin production was stimulated. This resulted in the production of smooth soft hair in the coat. We know this as a summer coat. This was a pleasant side effect of the research, which was concerned with the growth and development of the hoof.
Zinc - 200mg
Zinc is associated with the health and integrity of hair, skin, hooves and the immune system. Zinc deficiencies retard the synthesis of DNA, RNA and protein, which are necessary for proper coat condition and repair. A shortage of zinc can also impair cellular division and growth and repair of connective tissue. Zinc is also found to be a cofactor in over 200 enzymatic reactions and has been shown to positively affect immune function. Hygain Gleam contains bio-chelated zinc. This is zinc which is bound to an amino acid group. Chelaton enhances digestion and increases the effectiveness of the zinc.
Methionine - 3000mg
Methionine is an essential sulfur bearing amino acid that is required to be contained in the horse's diet, as horses are not able to produce it themselves. Nutritionists and veterinarians alike have been recommending methionine for years because of its ability to stimulate the production of keratin fibres in the horses' coat. Methionine works synergistically with biotin to increase its effectiveness of both nutrients.
Full Fat Soyabean Meal
This is high in fat and easily digested by the horse. It is also high in protein and contains all the crucial amino acids (methionine and cystine) and essential fatty acids required for a healthy skin and a glowing coat.
Natro-Glo
A natural coat enhancer produced from extracting the xanthrophyll pigments from Marigold and chilli peppers. These pigments help enhance the horse's coat producing a deep rich lustre.
