Amino acids play an important role in rebuilding a hoof damaged by laminitis and founder. Essential fatty acids and phospholipids are needed to build cell membranes and walls. Vitamin A and biotin are important hoof-building vitamins. Calcium, copper, and zinc are important minerals for hoof strength. Please note, however, that for these nutrients to be most effective, they must both be absorbable and in the proper ratio\/balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding the Right Supplement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifedatalabs.com\/life-data-lamina-formula\">hoof supplement for laminitis<\/a> combines the hoof-building nutrients necessary to rebuild a strong hoof after tissue damage from laminitis\/founder.
