Introducing Total Gold Veterinary Formulation For Horses

TOTAL GOLD (TM) is our latest generation formulation that includes Hoof Gold, Coat Gold, Bone GoldTM and a complete spectrum of additional Vitamins, Minerals and Amino Acids.

The new formula is designed as a complete supplement, with proven clinical and radiographic results. 

Total Gold supplementation includes Hoof, Bone,  Joint and Coat, in addition to all your essential vitamin and mineral requirements.

Total Gold is a unique patent Veterinary formulation designed to be a complete supplement to support hooves, bones, joint, soft tissue and coat, in addition to supporting all the essential daily vitamin, mineral and amino acid requirements of a horse.

Other international and Australian supplement and feed manufactures would prefer you purchase multiple different supplements to cover all your horse’s needs. This makes feeding time complicated, increases the risk of potential binding between supplements and is not cost effective.

Finally, a product that covers all your horses needs in one tub.

 Vitamin D Levels in Bone Gold 

A recent research paper produced by the Hong Kong Jockey Club addresses the 1978 NRC Equine Feeding guidelines. The research showed that previous guidelines were obsolete and needed to be revised with daily intakes radically requiring an increase.

The 1978 NRC supplementation levels were erroneously based on injectable dose rates and serum Vit D levels were not measured.

The recent research validates the Bone Gold recommended feed rate as being correct.

Note the following quotation:

It should be noted that the NRC recommendations were extrapolated from an in vivo experimental study conducted in 1979 [31] where circulating vitamin D metabolites were not measured. In light of more recent advances in equine research, up to date and evidence based guidelines are much needed to better inform daily dietary requirements for vitamin D for sedentary and athletic horses.
