For today’s edition of Q & HAY, we are sharing some of the top Crackdown questions we receive.

Would Crackdown replace my horse's biotin supplement?

Yes! The research shows that biotin is actually not that important for hoof health but rather, sulfur bearing amino acids like methionine and arginine. Horses make biotin in their hind gut and almost always have enough for daily requirements. This is why Crackdown was formulated to be high in sulfur containing compounds to strengthen the protein bonds in the feet and increase circulation and growth. While Crackdown does contain some biotin, it is a much more comprehensive supplement because of the methionine and arginine which are the key nutrients for increasing the rate and quality of hoof growth as well as strength.

How quickly will I see a difference?

Usually within the first shoeing cycle. Hoof growth is notoriously slow, but Crackdown will start increasing the rate and quality of growth within the first 3-4 weeks.

Can I feed it once per day?

Yes. Many people find this to be logistically easier, and that is totally fine.

Can I use this in conjunction with the other Equine Elixirs products I use, or is it duplicative?

All of our products are designed to be used together. There are no redundancy or toxicity issues when using any or all of our products.

What are the ingredients in Crackdown?

Crackdown contains a proprietary blend of quinoa, pumpkin seed, sesame seed, almonds, chickpeas, lentils, oats, kale, spinach, and brazil nuts.

How do I know if my horse needs a hoof supplement?

If your horse has dry or brittle feet, soft feet, feet that don’t grow well, hoof sensitivity, or quarter cracks, then they would benefit from Crackdown.

Is Crackdown show safe?

Yes! All of our products are show safe.
