Premium MVA – Broad Spectrum Vitamins, Minerals & Amino Acids
Domestic horses in the UK do not have access to the diverse range of grasses, shrubs, and trees available in their ancestral environments. As a result, diets based on UK hay and pasture may lack variety and balance in essential nutrients. Premium MVA is formulated to help bridge these gaps by providing a comprehensive blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, prebiotics and probiotics.
Key Features
-
Broad Spectrum Support – supplies a full profile of essential vitamins and minerals not always present or balanced in forage alone.
-
Fortified Protein Source – contains high-quality amino acids (Lysine, Methionine, Threonine) to support muscle development, topline, hoof quality and coat condition.
-
Supports All Horses – suitable for horses, ponies and donkeys of all ages and life stages, including those in hard work, breeding, or on high-hay or soaked-hay diets.
Additional Benefits
-
Prebiotics – bioactive compounds (including yeast cell wall polysaccharides, betaine, organic acids, and amino acids) that help nourish beneficial gut flora.
-
Probiotics (live yeast) – support a balanced digestive environment, promote feed efficiency, and help maintain a healthy immune response.
-
Vitamin E – increased levels to meet the higher requirements of horses on hay-based diets (e.g. approx. 3,200 mg/day for a 500 kg horse).
-
B-Vitamins – included to assist in energy metabolism, digestion, reproduction, and recovery from work.
Feeding Purpose
Premium MVA is designed to be fed daily as part of a forage-based ration, alongside plain feeds such as chaff, linseed, salt, or copra. Its comprehensive formulation means there should be less need for additional targeted supplements (e.g. hoof, coat, joint products).
Macro minerals
-
Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium – critical for bone health, nerve/muscle function, energy metabolism. UK hay can be imbalanced in Ca:P ratio; MVA corrects this.
Trace minerals
-
Zinc & copper – key for hoof strength, coat colour, connective tissue, immune health.
-
Manganese – bone cartilage, joint metabolism.
-
Selenium (organic) – antioxidant, protects muscles from oxidative stress, esp. in hard-working horses.
-
Iodine – thyroid hormone synthesis (metabolism).
-
Cobalt – essential for B12 synthesis in the hindgut.
Vitamins
-
Vitamin E (3.2 g) – huge antioxidant support, vital for horses on hay with little fresh grass.
-
Vitamin C – antioxidant, tissue repair, immune function.
-
Vitamin D3 – calcium and phosphorus metabolism.
-
Vitamin A – vision, epithelial tissue, immunity.
-
B-complex – energy metabolism, nerve function, red blood cell health, appetite.
-
Biotin – hoof integrity, skin and coat quality.
-
Folic acid & B12 – blood formation and cell division.
Amino Acids
-
Lysine, methionine, threonine – the three “first limiting amino acids” in horses; essential for topline, muscle repair, recovery from work, growth, and coat quality. Particularly important when horses are on hay-only or soaked hay diets where protein balance is compromised.
Supportive compounds
-
MSM – sulphur source, joint and connective tissue support, anti-inflammatory role.
-
Choline – liver support, fat metabolism, neurological function.
-
Yeasts (live & inactive) – gut flora balance, better fibre digestion, immune resilience.
-
Silica – connective tissue, bone density, and hoof support.
In summary:
A 100 g serving of Premium MVA delivers balanced minerals, a full vitamin spectrum, high levels of antioxidants, targeted amino acids, and yeast-based gut support. It goes beyond a standard “balancer” by including MSM, live yeast, and high levels of lysine/methionine/threonine — directly addressing topline, recovery, immune resilience, hoof health, and overall vitality.
ShipShape

Premium Vitamins and Minerals
Domestic horses in the UK live very differently from their wild ancestors, who roamed semi-arid, varied landscapes and had access to a wide range of plants, shrubs, and grasses. By contrast, our horses are usually limited to grazing on a small number of grass species grown on UK soils, often supported by hay. While this forage provides bulk and energy, it does not always deliver the complete balance of vitamins and minerals that horses require for long-term health and well-being.
Premium Vitamins and Minerals is formulated to fill this nutritional gap. It provides a broad spectrum of essential vitamins and minerals to complement a forage-based diet, helping to ensure your horse receives what forage alone may lack.
Why Choose Premium Vitamins and Minerals?
- Specifically designed for UK horses on some grass plus hay, or haylage.
- Supplies a comprehensive range of vitamins and minerals in forms chosen for high absorption.
- Includes 100% organic selenium, copper, zinc and sulphur (MSM), plus all the key B vitamins.
- Balanced to work alongside simple feeds such as chaff, micronised linseed and plain salt.
- Complete daily support – reducing the need for multiple additional vitamin nd mineral supplements (hoof, coat, joint etc.), as the essentials are already covered.
Feeding Purpose
Premium Vitamins and Minerals is not marketed as a “balancer” in the narrow sense. Instead, Premium vitamins and minerals feare a, broad-spectrum supplement designed to provide the vitamins and minerals that may be insufficient in UK forage. It supports your horse’s metabolism, musculoskeletal system, coat, and overall well-being as part of a balanced diet.
