Calciplex Bone and Joint is formulated to provide a source of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, combined with Vitamins A and D and essential trace-minerals to assist the uptake, regulation and balance of these vital bone and joint cartilage structural components. An adequate intake of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium is required for bone development, maintenance of skeletal strength and the `bone bank' of stored calcium, as well as optimum muscle function and to meet increased demands during late pregnancy and lactation in mares.
The health, structural function, optimum flexibility and resilience of joint cartilage to `wear and tear' process is maintained when an adequate intake of Vitamin A, copper, manganese and zinc are included in the diet of growing and working horses. While Vitamin D is responsible for assimilation and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, it also promotes growth and mineralization of the bones, including bones of the foetus.
