The story of Dyna Hoof begins in 1983 when Dynamite founder, Jim Zamzow, studied the structure and function of elk antlers to create a very successful supplement for an elk ranch in Colorado. Upon seeing the results of those efforts, Gold Director Judy Sinner asked if Jim would put the same effort into developing a product for horse hoof health. Working with a large, established farrier, a full analysis was done to determine which components made up the good hooves that were not present in the unhealthy hooves. The foundation of Dyna Hoof was based on these comprehensive findings.
One of the many features of Dyna Hoof is that it uses “chelazones®*." These are minerals bound to specific amino acids so they are delivered to the targeted location within the horse’s body. This is important because if you supplement a horse with zinc, for instance, the horse will use that mineral in a general application throughout the body, meaning that you may or may not see results in the hoof tissue specifically. In Dyna Hoof, chelazones target nutrients to the hoof specifically. This delivers the minerals where you want them, making the supplement more effective with quicker results. (Side note: This is one of the reasons we always suggest horses be on our Foundational Program--to fulfill the general nutritional needs of the horse. If you feed the Dynamite Foundation Program along with Dyna Hoof, you will likely be able to stop supplementing Dyna Hoof once hoof health is achieved and the daily foundational nutrients will maintain hoof health.)
Another aspect of Dyna Hoof is that it is a holistic hoof product. Jim often says, “A horse has 5 hearts--the heart + all 4 hooves." This is because the hoof is designed to use the weight of the horse and the spongy component of the inner hoof to push blood back up the leg and keep it circulating. Many products just address the hoof aesthetically and not the holistic health of the entire leg and all its purposes. Dyna Hoof includes nutritional support for the capillaries and surrounding tissues that are required for blood flow supporting its important function as an “organ” of circulation.
Science, chelazones, and a holistic approach all make Dyna Hoof a favorite product. Many competitors have attempted to duplicate Dyna Hoof over the years, but our proprietary formulations cannot be copied and will always deliver what we say they will…guaranteed.
Innovation guided by nature, backed by science™.
