These minerals have a role in growth, metabolism, maintaining a healthy coat, thyroid function, bone & cartilage development, electrolyte balance, recovery after exercise, & maintenance of connective tissue.  Trace Mix provides these trace minerals in a salt base. Salt is also essential for stamina, improves palatability, and is safe for horses with metabolic problems.
