Hygain Bonafide Vitamin K Horse Supplement 1.2kg

Hygain Bonafide® – Vitamin K Bone Density Supplement for Horses

Imagine your horse coming off lush summer pasture and into a stable or yard regime — within just 7 to 10 days, bone density can already begin to decline. That's the silent risk of Vitamin K deficiency, and it's exactly what Hygain Bonafide® is designed to prevent.

Bonafide® is the only equine supplement containing Quinaquanone® — a patented, water-soluble, and highly bioavailable form of both Vitamin K1 and K2, exclusive to Hygain® and Mitavite®. It's the smart choice for any horse not on constant access to high-quality, growing green pasture.

Why Vitamin K Matters for Bone Health

Vitamin K1 and K2 play a critical role in activating osteocalcin — the bone protein responsible for binding minerals and proteins together within the bone matrix. Without adequate Vitamin K:

• The binding process is incomplete
• Low-density or defective bone and cartilage are produced
• Horses become more susceptible to injury and poor skeletal development

The Pasture Problem

Vitamin K1 and K2 are naturally found in fresh, growing green pasture — but they are highly unstable. They are rapidly degraded by:

• UV light exposure
• Wilting grass
• 'Wintering off' or dry lot conditions

Horses removed from Vitamin K-rich pasture and placed in a box or yard regime have shown measurable reductions in bone density within just 7–10 days. Bonafide® bridges this nutritional gap with a stable, bioavailable source of Vitamin K.
