Hydrolyzed Keratin: The Secret Ingredient for Strong and Healthy Hooves

Hydrolyzed Keratin: The Secret Ingredient for Strong and Healthy Hooves

 

Hydrolyzed Keratin for Horses’ Hooves

Cracks, chips, and brittle walls don’t have to be the norm. Hydrolyzed Keratin—a protein packed with essential amino acids—is one of the keys to stronger, healthier hooves. That’s why it’s featured in Silver Hoof EQ Therapy® by Draw It Out®.

What Is Hydrolyzed Keratin?

Hydrolyzed Keratin is derived from natural sheep wool and broken down into amino acids your horse’s hooves can absorb and use. Because hooves are made primarily of keratin, supplying it topically helps reinforce structure and repair damage from the outside in.

Benefits for Equine Hooves

  • Improved Strength: Rich in cysteine, the amino acid critical for forming strong keratin bonds in the hoof wall.
  • Stimulates Growth: Supplies methionine, lysine, and other building blocks that encourage new, healthy hoof tissue.
  • Moisture Retention: Locks in hydration, preventing brittle, cracking walls—especially in dry or cold conditions.
  • Repair Support: Aids in sealing cracks, reducing chipping, and preventing future damage.

Did you know? Silver Hoof EQ Therapy® combines Hydrolyzed Keratin with Tea Tree Oil, Thyme Oil, Zinc Pyrithione, and Silver Nitrate—delivering both structural nutrients and broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection.

Why Silver Hoof EQ Therapy®?

More than a moisturizer, Silver Hoof EQ Therapy® is a complete hoof health solution. It balances moisture, strengthens hoof walls, and provides protection against thrush, foot rot, and canker—issues every horse owner dreads.
