Role of Silicon in Bone Health

Silicon stimulates bone formation and is a key element in the structure of substances such as Hyaluronic Acid, which cushions and lubricates joints to protect them from compressive forces. In a study of Standardbred race horses supplemented with zeolite (a form of silicon), it was proven that the supplemented horses had faster middle-distance run times, ran nearly twice as far before injury occurred, and had fewer injuries than horses that were not supplemented. The authors of the study concluded that silicon supplements may allow horses to train at faster speeds for longer periods of time without incurring injury.

Horse Health Tip

Not all Silicons are the same

Silicon is the second most abundant mineral on planet earth. So, you would think that horses are bound to receive an adequate amount of it in the typical equine diet of forage. However, the form of silicon that is readily available (silicon dioxide or silica) is not bio-available (absorbable) in the horse's body. It is important to supplement with a natural form of silicon such as Zeolite, which is the form used in Platinum Performance® Equine, Platinum Performance® CJ and in Osteon, to obtain the benefit from supplementation.

Science Behind the Supplements

Bones and Connective Tissues

You don't have to look very far before you find an active horse that has experienced a cartilage or suspensory issue of some kind. Given this nature, it is important that we provide vitamins and trace minerals that are beneficial to our horses' Bones and Connective Tissues. Especially with young, growing horses that are susceptible to a host of growth related issues, as well as performance horses in high intensity training. A variety of supplement ingredients can aid in maintaining bone health including Silicon, Omega-3 fatty acids, and Vitamins and Minerals.

Is the amount of Silicon in Platinum Performance® sufficient
or does my horse need more than that?

Platinum Performance® Equine Wellness formula contains an adequate amount of silicon for most horses. If your horse is in high intensity training such as racing, you may want to consider adding Osteon to his regimen to protect his bones and connective tissues. Talk to a Platinum Advisor to find the best supplement solution for your particular horse.

What Clients are Saying

"I am using Osteon for a 3 year old that had bucked shins (no fractures) from training. Dr. Martha Rodgers and Dr. Larry Bramledge recommend your product. Eight weeks have passed and my filly is to go back in traning! We will start the 2 year old on this 2 months before she begins training."
- Deb McMurray, Platinum Performance Client since 2006
