Zinc-selenium powder

Zinc-selenium powder contains a combination of organically bound zinc, iron, copper, manganese and selenium and is used to remedy zinc and trace element deficiencies. This special, powerful mix has positive effects on the equine immune system, skin and horn. The immune system and many hormones require zinc to function. The equine body needs additional zinc during the moulting season, so it is recommended that horses get supplemental zinc during that strenuous time. Copper is needed in transporting oxygen and, like manganese and selenium, is a component of many enzymes. Manganese is responsible for utilisation of vitamin B1. Selenium protects cell membranes from oxidative damage. Iron helps build blood cells and is important for transporting and storing oxygen and cell metabolism.
