Hoof Growth is a Slow Process
Hoof Growth is a Slow Process Studies show it takes 9-12 months for hoof tissue to grow from the coronary band to the weight-bearing surface. For advanced hoof care needs it is important to supplement with Platinum Hoof Support daily and continue as part of a long-term hoof health regimen.
“We have a 17-year-old polo pony still playing 12-goal polo. He had crummy feet and a history of many abscesses during a year-long period. He would blow out the top, create huge cracks and grew foot so slowly the cracks wouldn’t have a chance to heal. He was impossible to shoe and lame barefoot. We tried supplement after supplement for years. Finally, at a vet visit, he suggested Platinum. The before picture is after a year and a half on hoof supplements. The after picture is after 10 months of Platinum. Thank you for a product that works!”

Ingredients for Strong Healthy Hooves
Biotin
is significant for both hoof growth and hoof horn quality. It also is involved in hoof strength as it is an element of the intercellular glue that binds hoof cells together.
L-Lysine & DL-Methionine
are amino acids, the building blocks for proteins and are essential for hoof growth as the hoof wall is 93% protein. Methionine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that is a primary constituent of keratin, the hard protein that makes up the hoof horn.
Zinc Gluconate
is necessary for the normal functioning of the cells that produce the hoof wall. Zinc-dependent enzymes are involved in keratinization and the hardening of the hoof.
Copper Gluconate
is involved in connecting hoof cells. Low dietary levels of copper are often associated with weak or damaged hooves.
Manganese
is a mineral incorporated in the equine hoof horn and provides strength to the hoof wall and foot structures.
