DETAILED INFORMATION

• Biotin Plus has the distinction of having revolutionized the biotin supplement industry. Equilife | Paragon Performance Products were the first company to use pharmaceutical grade untriturated (blended) biotin in a feed supplement. This has allowed Biotin Plus to provide the highest level of biotin in an OTC product.
  
• Why 50 mg? Published field studies conducted by a prominent Kentucky veterinarian clearly establish 50 mg of biotin as a daily addition to the equine diet as the minimum amount to maintain healthy hoof tissue. Less than 50 mg was found to be an insufficient amount of biotin to effect acceptable improvement to damaged or unhealthy hooves.
  
• Why is the methionine in Biotin Plus lower than other products? This is an important question. Most companies base their methionine levels on a study done which referred to methionine levels in the hoof. The study was found to be flawed, as there is no methionine present in hoot tissue.
  Methionine is a powerful amino acid of a type called “sulphur-bearing”. This type of amino acid, when combined with other nutrients, especially biotin, stimulates collagen production. Collagen is the substance which creates skin, hair, and hoof (also fingernails). Too much methionine has potentially dangerous side effects. For that reason, Biotin Plus contains the correct amount of pharmaceutical grade l-methionine to help collagen production, and always at a safe, non-toxic level.
  
• What about mane and tail growth? The same elements which combine to make hooves grow, cause hair to grow. Biotin Plus is unequalled in putting beautiful manes and tails on horses.
  
• Does Biotin Plus improve hair coat quality as well? Both on horses and small animals, the fatty acids, amino acids and other elements in Biotin Plus combine to make dappling, and deep lustrous shine a hallmark of the product.
  
• What is D-Calcium Pantothenate? It is an alkaline (non-acid) form of vitamin B-5. Because it is a powerful factor in healing, Paragon uses it in all its products. Since B vitamins are normally classified as acids, they can change the Ph balance in the intestinal tract, and effect absorbtion. Since D-Calcium Pantothenate is not acid, all of Paragon Performance Products can be fed together with great benefit, and the Ph balance of the animal’s “hindgut” remains unaffected
  
• Will horses and small animals eat Biotin Plus? Biotin Plus has great palatability. Horses and small animals love the taste. Biotin Plus is manufactured with only the highest quality base materials intended for the baking industry. Wheat germ, stabilized rice bran, brewer’s yeast, and flaxseed meal blended with Paragon’s unique spice blend and pure pharmaceutical grade nutrients make Biotin Plus the premier biotin supplement available.
  
• Why are there no additional minerals, like zinc, in Biotin Plus? Many veterinarians and animal nutritionists are concerned about high mineral levels in equine diets from owners combining many different supplements together without being aware of the ingredient levels. Paragon Performance Products has always been aware of this potential danger, and has steadfastly maintained its position in favor of targeting specific areas with its products, rather than trying to cover all bases at once.
  
• Why should your customer buy Biotin Plus? It is the strongest OTC biotin product available. It is the most economical biotin product. It has the best palata-bility, and Paragon offers the best product support to the retailer and their clients.
