NAF Biotin Plus Refill

A horse's hooves are the foundation of its movement and comfort. NAF Biotin Plus Refill is a complementary feed designed to support hoof integrity from the inside out. This popular formula contains biotin, MSM, methionine, zinc and calcium to help maintain robust hoof growth and resilience.

Dosage Guide for Your Horse

Dosage depends on your horse's size and hoof condition. For most horses, a daily serving of this refill formula provides adequate biotin levels. For a 500 kg horse, the recommended dose is one scoop per day. Always consult your veterinarian or equine nutritionist to determine the right amount for your horse's needs. Since biotin is water-soluble, any excess is generally excreted, making it safe when fed as directed.

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 sulphur), 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.

Key Benefits for Hoof Health

Regular supplementation with NAF Biotin Plus supports the natural growth cycle of the hoof. The combination of biotin and MSM provides 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, methionine supports healthy coat and skin, enhancing your horse's overall appearance.

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. Third-party testing and a reputable brand like NAF gives 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 feed supplement, it is not a substitute for proper nutrition and hoof care.
