Platform is a hoof supplement of superior formulation that supplies the nutrients needed to support strong, resilient, hoof growth. It contains super-optimum daily levels of Biotin, a nutrient well known for improving hoof quality, supported by high quality ingredients including Zinc, Copper and Magnesium.
Daily Biotin Levels Biotin has been proven in research to strengthen a horses hooves.

Methionine & Lysine: Essential amino acids and building blocks for hoof horn. Methionine contains sulphur, used to improve hoof quality. Magnesium: Which helps to strengthen the bond between the hoof capsule and the horse's foot. Horsetail Extract: A rich source of silica, a natural mineral with body-tissue strengthening properties.
