Ludgers Starter Gel

• provides a concentrated supply of nutrients for foals after birth and in the first year of life
• the vitamins and trace elements contained are quickly available to the organism and cover the daily requirements of a foal for several days, as they are stored in the liver
• natural fluctuations in the nutrient composition of the mare's milk are thus balanced out
• the vitamin D it contains is involved in bone mineralisation and supports the absorption of calcium into the bones
• vitamin A is involved in protein synthesis, which influences the development of the tendon apparatus
• it is also involved in the formation of the skeleton and forms an important part of the body's immune defence system
• B vitamins as well as iron and manganese are essential for the energy metabolism of carbohydrates and fats and influence the activation of the metabolism
• vitamin B12 is also involved in the formation of red blood cells
• vitamins E and C as well as organic selenium are important biological antioxidants that contribute to the protection of muscle cells and support regeneration
