Zinc Gluconate for Horses
Zinc gluconate is a highly bioavailable and gentle form of zinc used to support skin, hooves, immune function, and overall metabolism in horses.
Why Zinc Matters in Horses
Zinc plays a key role in:
Hoof strength & growth
Skin & coat health
Immune system function
Enzyme activity & protein synthesis
Wound healing
Many forage-based diets are low in zinc, especially if not balanced with a mineral supplement.
Difference Between Zinc Lactate and Zinc Gluconate
Both zinc lactate and zinc gluconate are forms of zinc bound to organic acids. The main differences relate to elemental zinc content, absorption, and typical use.
Chemical Structure
Zinc lactate → zinc bound to lactic acid
Zinc gluconate → zinc bound to gluconic acid
Both are considered well-absorbed, gentle forms of zinc.
