Skin & Coat contains 13 different essential nutrients to support healthy coat and skin. We all like to see our horses with a shiny coat and healthy skin, but the coat and skin is not just aesthetic. The skin is the largest organ in the body and is not only responsible for control of body temperature and production of Vitamin D from sunlight, but it must also protect the horse from environmental factors. These include sunlight, insects, bacteria, molds, fungi, and atmospheric pollutants such as ozone, nitrogen and sulphur dioxides.
Skin & Coat is a unique formulation including Omega 3 fatty acids which promote a shiny coat and healthy skin, and have been shown in scientific studies to help animals with insect bite sensitivity. Other essential ingredients for healthy coat and skin include: zinc which can increase hair growth; MSM as a source of sulfur which in turn is a building block for the protein keratin, a central component of both hair and skin; and also biotin which has also been shown to stimulate keratin production by skin cells. Skin & Coat contains high levels of antioxidant Vitamins C and E which have been shown to be reduced in a range of skin conditions.
