Plymouth, MA – August 19, 2008 - Equine multivitamins no longer have to fit a “one size fits all” approach thanks to the revolutionary SmartVite™ multivitamin line from SmartPak. “Ideally a multivitamin should account for the type of forage, the amount of fortified grain, the intensity of work, and life stage of the horse” said SmartPak medical director and staff veterinarian, Lydia Gray, DVM, MA. “But most multivitamins target the average horse, in average work, on average grain, because there is a limit to the amount of shelf space manufacturers can get from the feed store.” SmartPak’s SmartVite line solves this problem for horse owners by offering 9 different formulas targeted to all types of horses on all types of feed; from the performance horse on alfalfa forage to the easy keeper on grass forage. So you can precisely balance your horse’s basic nutrition, possibly helping to avoid some of the health problems that can occur as a result of nutritional imbalances.
