Today we're spotlighting one of our favorite product lines here at NRSworld.com, Vitalize horse supplements by BioZyme. For over 60 years, BioZyme has served the agricultural industry as an innovator in fermentation and animal health. Founded in 1951 by Larry Ehlert, a former feed salesman, expanded his business and began selling supplements in 1965 and by 1968 he purchased a patent and marketing rights to a direct-fed microbial produced from a fungus called Aspergillus Oryzae. Over 70 years later BioZyme uses the same strain of A.oryzae to develop new pre and post-biotics supplements and animal health products for a variety of animals including cattle, swine, poultry, sheep, goats, horses, and dogs. 

Among BioZyme's flagship product series stands Vitalize, a line of products for horses to improve gut health, weight gain, joint health, and hoof health. By leveraging advanced formulations and top-quality ingredients, Vitalize equips horses with the support they need to thrive in various conditions and activities.
