Necessity @ 4HorsePower - Nutrition for Peak Performance

Unlike any other equine supplements on the market, the Necessity product line provides balanced nutrition for optimal performance and enhanced appearance. We offer three innovative equine supplements: Necessity, Necessity with Glucosamine and Necessity with Glucosamine & MSM. The first product IHVets introduced in 1999 was Necessity. Necessity is the base and foundation of all IHVets equine supplements. Necessity contains 20 vitamins, trace minerals and amino acids. In 2000, IHVets added to their product line by introducing Necessity with Glucosamine. This product has all of the same benefits and ingredients as Necessity in addition to the benefits of Glucosamine. In May of 2002, IHVets launched an innovative product in Necessity with Glucosamine & MSM. This product is like no other as it combines 21 vitamins, trace minerals, amino acids, glucosamine and MSM.

Necessity is a complete micronutrient supplement. Formulated to provide balanced nutrition, Necessity aids in improving the overall condition and performance of your horse by providing essential vitamins, trace minerals and amino acids limited in the equine diet. Below are the 13 benefits your horse will receive from Necessity.

Protects Body Tissue - Shinier Coat - Promotes Better Digestion and Feed Efficiency - Higher Metabolism - Thyroid Function - Improved Hoof Integrity - Proper Growth and Structural Development - Improved Muscle Tone - Liver and Kidney - Joint Support - Fertility - Boosts Immune System - Decreases Hyperactivity

The nutritional makeup of all three Necessity equine supplements include the following:

All of the Necessity equine supplements provide superior levels of the most limiting and essential amino acids in the equine diet to promote proper structural development, improved hair coat, and enhanced utilization of nutrients. Two of the three key amino acids that Necessity products include are lysine and methionine.

The enhanced level of biotin in the Necessity products eliminates the need for an additional biotin supplement. Necessity’s optimal level of biotin leads to improvements in the integrity, strength, and quality of the hoof.

The levels of vitamin E and selenium in all of the Necessity supplements protect body tissue from oxidation-induced damage during energy production, enhance the immune system, and provide antioxidant benefits.

The precise level of supplemental thiamin in the Necessity products stimulates appetite, aids in preventing tying-up, and decreases anxiety in the nervous horse, which increases the horse’s performance capabilities.

Necessity offers an accurate level of folic acid to prevent tissue damage in mature horses and ensure proper development in young horses. Stabled performance horses are especially susceptible to folic acid deficiency and need supplementation.

Necessity provides an optimal level of Vitamin A to prevent decreased feed intake, respiratory and intestinal disease, weight loss, poor fertility dull hair, anemia, and night blindness. Vitamin A is not produced in the body and must be supplied entirely by the diet, so supplementation is often extremely important.

Fat-soluble vitamin D must be provided in proper amounts to prevent deficiency and toxicity. That’s why Necessity provides a precise level to promote appropriate feed intake, weight maintenance and proper growth.

Necessity assists in regulating energy metabolism by providing vitamin B-12, which is known to enhance performance and improve appetite.

Copper, Iodine, Manganese, Zinc, Choline, Niacin, Panothenic Acid, Riboflavin, and Vitamin B6.

Glucosamine (only in Necessity with Glucosamine and Necessity with Glucosamine & MSM) and MSM (only in Necessity with Glucosamine & MSM).

Necessity provides balanced nutrition to ensure adequate but not excessive intake of vitamins, trace minerals, and amino acids. According to a leading equine nutrition journal, balanced nutrition is essential for the broodmare’s diet. Equine nutritionists formulated Necessity to meet the nutritional requirements of the lactating mare and prevent nutritional imbalances, which may lead to weight loss and reproductive inefficiencies.

Necessity combats the newborn foal’s inherent vitamin E, selenium, and vitamin A deficiencies by providing balanced levels of these essential vitamins. Necessity prevents the occurrence of vitamin deficiency in which a foal is predisposed to infectious diseases, especially respiratory diseases.

Necessity provides a balanced nutrition for optimal growth and development in young horses. To promote proper structural development and soundness at maturity, Necessity contains the essential amino acid lysine. To increase resistance to infectious diseases, Necessity provides the appropriate levels of essential vitamins and trace minerals.

Necessity was specifically designed to meet the demands of today’s active equine. Due to increased energy production during physical activities, the performance horse benefits from the vitamin E and selenium levels in Necessity, which aid in the prevention of tissue damage. The biotin in Necessity is beneficial in strengthening the hoof and enhancing the repair of hoof defects. Without the essential amino acids found in Necessity, the performance horse may experience body tissue loss, poor hair coat, moderate feed intake, and diminished hoof growth.
