Whether you're training for competition or enjoying leisurely rides, your horse's hooves take a lot of wear and tear. Supporting hoof health with a proven supplement like NAF Biotin Plus Refill can make all the difference. This formula combines biotin, MSM, methionine, zinc, and calcium to promote strong, resilient hooves.

How Much Biotin Should You Give Your Horse? Dosage Guide

Dosage depends on your horse's size and hoof condition. For most horses, a daily serving of this refill formula provides adequate biotin levels to support hoof health. Follow the feeding instructions on the label — typically one scoop per day for a 500 kg horse. Always consult with your veterinarian or equine nutritionist to determine the right dose for your horse's specific needs. Because biotin is water-soluble, excess amounts are usually excreted, making it safe when fed as directed.

Key Benefits for Hoof Health

Regular supplementation with NAF Biotin Plus helps support the natural growth cycle of the hoof. The combination of biotin and MSM provides the building blocks for strong keratin, while zinc contributes to tissue repair and calcium aids in maintaining hoof density. Many horse owners report improved hoof wall quality, reduced chipping, and better overall hoof condition within a few months of consistent use. Additionally, the methionine supports a healthy coat and skin, enhancing your horse's overall appearance.

What Is Biotin Plus and Why Does It Matter for Horses?

Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, is a water-soluble B vitamin that plays a key role in keratin production — the protein that makes up hooves, hair, and skin. Horses with brittle or slow-growing hooves often benefit from additional biotin. NAF Biotin Plus goes beyond basic biotin by including MSM (a source of sulfur), methionine (an amino acid), zinc, and calcium. These complementary nutrients work together to support hoof structure, strength, and flexibility. For horses in regular work or those prone to hoof issues, this supplement can make a noticeable difference.

What to Look for in a Hoof Supplement

When choosing a hoof supplement, look for a proven formula with high-quality ingredients. NAF Biotin Plus delivers biotin in a balanced blend with MSM, methionine, zinc, and calcium. The refill format is convenient for regular use. Ensure the supplement is free from unnecessary fillers and is safe to feed alongside your horse's regular diet and other feeds. Third-party testing and a reputable brand like NAF give you confidence in the product's purity and consistency.

Possible Considerations and Interactions

Biotin supplements are generally safe for horses. However, always introduce any new supplement gradually and monitor your horse's response. If your horse has a pre-existing health condition or is on medication, consult your veterinarian before starting supplementation. Store the refill in a cool, dry place away from moisture. As with any dietary supplement, it is not a substitute for proper nutrition and hoof care. This product is a natural health product (NHP) and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any disease. Always read the label and follow directions for use.
