Equine Elixirs Pro Bono® Bone Support Meal

Equine Elixirs Pro Bono® is designed to provide bone support to horses. Pro Bono Bone Support Meal offers bioavailable forms of vitamin K, vitamin D, collagen, calcium and phosphorus. These ingredients help support healthy bone and cartilage that is strong and resilient.

Pro Bono can benefit various categories of horses:

• Young, growing horses.
• Horses with limited access to fresh pasture.
• Horses on stall rest.
• Horses recovering from bone or soft tissue injury.
• Horses in heavy training.

Bone remodeling is a process that occurs continuously and is essential to ongoing soundness. It is the process by which damaged or old bone is replaced by new, strong bone. Research shows that inadequate intake of vitamin K is linked to low bone density and increased risk for fractures.

Pro Bono contains a bioavailable source of vitamin K, which plays a critical role in the function of osteocalcin, known to bind minerals and protein in the bone together. Vitamin K1 is abundant in forage and leafy greens while vitamin K2 is synthesized by bacteria in the gut. Vitamin K1 levels in fresh pasture are unstable, have low bioavailability and are depleted quickly when grass is made into hay. In fact, research shows that horses who are removed from vitamin K rich pastures have a reduction in bone density within 7-10 days.

Pro Bono also contains vitamin D, which facilitates absorption of calcium and the balance of calcium and phosphorus necessary for proper bone mineralization. The calcium in Pro Bono comes from red marine algae called Lithothamnion, which helps play a role in bone formation and remodeling.

Key features & benefits:

• Helps maintain optimal levels of bone density.
• Hydrolyzed collagen supports a healthy bone matrix.
• Vitamin K helps increase bone mineralization and remodeling.
• Vitamin D facilitates absorption of calcium.
