“Trace Minerals may make the difference in a horse being healthy, and a winner, or not.”  

Frederick Harper. Professor, University of Tennessee.

Along with vitamins, all higher organisms including horses, require minerals.   The synergistic action of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients is now well-understood.  Nutrient tie-up, as well as, most diseases may be directly correlated to mineral deficiencies.  To foster the optimum absorption of adequate nutrition, horses--just like human beings--require mineral supplementation.  Why don’t they achieve this from the ingestion of normal commercial, and even organic food sources?

Simple.  Our soils are nearly bankrupt worldwide of many of the unique elements required in trace amounts.  If the minerals are not found in the soil then there is no way for the plants to obtain them.  They cannot be manufactured or synthesized. Only Mother Nature knows how to make minerals and she stopped millions of years ago.

These trace elements possess catalytic properties that not only speed up reaction times, but are necessary for certain reactions to occur at all.  They are the essential trace elements.  How these elements are presented to the organism’s digestive system is all-important.  True, elements are more able to pass through a cell’s wall if reduced to an ionic state, but an improper dosage of elements in their metallic state can cause severe problems, even death.  Mother Nature has helped us overcome concerns about proper dosage by using chelation to bind certain trace elements to peptides or suspend them between amino acids so that an overdose is never forced upon the consumer.  Furthermore, as different elements come into contact with one another and with fulvic acid they form different combinations or minerals which may also be more appealing than individual atoms in their free, or elemental state.  Hence the phrase, “Naturally-Chelated Trace Minerals”.

To date, dozens of tests performed by universities and independent scientific laboratories across the nation have identified a total of 78 different elements occurring in the mineral complex constituting AMA Vita Horse Chelated Trace Minerals.  This mineral matrix is actually a species of clay, highly-prized in human nutritional circles for its absorptive and tissue-strengthening characteristics.  For centuries diverse cultures have understood that certain clays have both medicinal and nutritive properties for which they have been used both externally and internally for a host of reasons.  The particular clay that is used exclusively in AMA Vita Horse products, and has absorbed a balanced proportion of essential trace elements, may be referred to as Montmorillonite.  It comes from a fresh-water, sedimentary deposit in Nevada that has been quarried for over 70 years and is shipped all over the world.  Not only is it completely non-toxic, but there are many testimonials and scientific reports about its ability to actually purge toxins and remove heavy metals from the body.  Because of the colloidal state of clay, as well as, that of the humic acid which Montmorillonite contains, the trace elements and minerals it has trapped are packaged in a superior, and completely safe, bio-available presentation that allows the organisms own body chemistry to selectively pick and choose from a bouquet of ingredients what it requires.

These effects are not only valuable in horse racing because of the increased muscle, red blood cell count, energy, stamina, and fast recovery that the trace elements promote, but many other benefits have been tallied up as well.

 

If your pony, mare, gelding, or foal “eats like a horse” you will appreciate the actual $ savings that comes with AMA Vita Horse mineral supplementation.  Owners are surprised to learn that what they save in feed and veterinary bills from healthy horses, easily pays for the product.   

At the same time the horses’ coats, tails and manes rejuvenate quickly and give their favorite animal a shiny, healthy appearance.   Movie producers appreciate this quality and know that there is nothing like a beautiful horse to sell television advertising…

Tired of problems with horseshoes?

The hooves, coffin bone, and tissues respond extremely will to AMA Vita Horse mineral supplementation.  Many owners are now allowing their horses to “go barefoot” and have reduced farrier costs commensurately.  Mustangs in the wild are still able to find a few of the clay deposits where they obtain their minerals, but domesticated horses are simply at the mercy of their owners savvy about the absolute requirement of minerals to achieve proper nutrition.  If you take multivitamins and minerals, shouldn’t your horses, also?

If Kentucky Derby winners eat AMA Vita Horse 100% Naturally-chelated Trace Minerals, what do they know that you don’t?  Sure, you might say that, “the millionaires can afford to feed their horses only the best”, but the truth is you cannot afford not to either!  With the actual savings from disease, injury and reduced feed costs, a nominal investment in AMA Vita Horse Chelated Trace Minerals will reap large dividends.  [Check out the Benefits section of this website.]
