Beginner is a vitamin, mineral, trace mineral and electrolyte supplement that also has a complete package of herbs that support all the nutritional needs of a growing body to create healthy structures such as bones, joints, muscles, tendons, brain, hormone and immune systems, as well as the entire digestive system and associated organs - yes, build a whole body!

Here in Denmark, the minerals copper, zinc and selenium are of particular concern, as the Danish soil is poor in these important minerals, which are of great importance for bones and immune system development. These are of course available in organic form in Beginner herbal minerals.

When it comes to growth problems, it is a typical summer problem or a problem when the pests come to the barn and are fed high-energy feed. It is in these situations that the body gets plenty of energy from protein, carbohydrates and fat, but not enough minerals to build structures such as bones, tendons, joint growth, the immune and endocrine systems, the brain and so on.

Overall, mineral deficiencies are considered malnutrition and therefore growth disorders are also rooted in nutritional composition and imbalance.

Here at VetCur, we recommend that Beginner herbal mineral supplements are used from around 8 weeks of age until the horse is fully grown - depending on the breed, this is between 3-5 years of age. This optimizes the horse's chance of becoming a healthy, sound and durable riding horse.
