Hygain Bonafide

Hygain Bonafide

Hygain Bonafide is a vitamin K supplement specifically designed for horses to support optimal bone density and soundness. The active ingredient, Quinaquanone, is a patented, water-soluble, and bioavailable form of Vitamin K1 and K2, essential for maintaining healthy bone structure. Vitamin K1 and K2 play a crucial role in the function of osteocalcin, a bone protein that binds minerals and proteins together, promoting stronger, healthier bones and cartilage.

Without sufficient Vitamin K, the binding process for bone formation becomes incomplete, leading to low-density or defective bones. Horses that lack access to high-quality pasture, which is a natural source of Vitamin K, are more likely to develop deficiencies that result in reduced bone density and strength. This is especially true for horses that are removed from Vitamin K-rich pastures and placed on a box/yard regime, where a reduction in bone density can occur within 7-10 days.

Hygain Bonafide is ideal for horses not receiving adequate pasture access and for preventing bone density loss during times of limited exposure to fresh, growing pasture. It helps maintain strong bones, especially in horses with high activity or in competitive environments.
