Both zinc and copper are critical to strong immune defences in the softer tissues of the hoof. Benefits of biotin for horses Biotin is a type of B vitamin, also known as vitamin H. It is essential for allowing a group of enzymes to break down some substances and activate certain other enzymes responsible for helping the body produce myelin — an insulating layer that wraps around nerves, allowing transmission of electrical impulses.

There are some cases where certain dietary or other habits have caused a deficiency of biotin. Studies have found that women who smoke can increase the metabolism of biotin in their bodies and cause a deficiency.The FNB found the available data to be insufficient to derive an EAR and RDA for biotin. For this reason, the FNB established only AIs for biotin. The FNB based its determination of AIs for all populations on the amount of biotin in human milk consumed by infants and then used body weight to extrapolate AIs for other groups [ 11]. Table 1 lists the current AIs for biotin [ 1]. Table 1: Adequate Intakes (AIs) for Biotin [ 1] Age There is no current ‘recommended’ intake for biotin like there is for many other vitamins like vitamin C and vitamin D, as more research is needed.

Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 2014;307:G941-9. [ PubMed abstract] Eggs and some organ meats are good sources of biotin; many nuts, seeds, seafood, and lean meats contain biotin. The federal government's 2020–2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans notes that "Because foods provide an array of nutrients and other components that have benefits for health, nutritional needs should be met primarily through foods. ... In some cases, fortified foods and dietary supplements are useful when it is not possible otherwise to meet needs for one or more nutrients (e.g., during specific life stages such as pregnancy)."
