A Natural Horse Care Product

FOCUS HF... has what's missing from any other hoof product
A sound hoof is the necessary foundation for an active horse and requires a wide range of nutrients for optimum strength and resilience.
FOCUS HF provides key nutrient building blocks including biotin, methionine, lysine, chelated trace minerals (including zinc and copper), viable yeast culture and phospholipids and includes a daily serving of SOURCEŽ micronutrients to make it all work!

Hoofs are composed of living tissue that require a wide range of nutrients to grow strong, resilient and hard. A deficiency of any of these key nutrients may lead to weak, crumbly hoof walls that grow slowly and won't hold horseshoe nails. FOCUS HF provides the horse with a unique broad spectrum of micronutrients from SOURCE. These nutrients include at least 60 minerals and trace elements in an organic, highly bioavailable form. In addition, seaweeds contain other natural bio-active compounds and co-factors which may be missing from your horse's diet. These micronutrients are synergistic with all the other ingredients in FOCUS HF and will help to increase their effectiveness.

The only nutrient in SOURCE that needs evaluation when formulating a feed ration is iodine. (The levels of each of the other minerals and trace elements is so low that it will not imbalance any feed ration design).

SOURCE is a rich source of natural organic iodine. It is particularly useful for those who are seeking to increase iodine levels in a potentially deficient ration.

But caution even a good thing can be overdone. SOURCE should not be fed at higher than recommended dosage levels, and if you are supplementing with a number of different products, it would be wise to review iodine levels to assure you are not overdoing it.

For additional information on iodine and horses, please refer to article in "Technical Papers" titled "Iodine in the Horse: Too Much or Too Little?"
