Dr. Weyrauch No. 4 Goldwert is a fine composition of highly bioavailable trace elements and selected herbs as suppliers of special secondary plant substances.
Dr.WeyrauchNo. 4 Gold Value is characterized by the use of highly bioavailable trace elements in chelated form, which are embedded in a base of the finest herbal, spice, fruit and root components, through which an unproblematic and particularly fast nutrient transport into the cell takes place. The ratios of the trace elements to each other are harmonious and are based on the results of many years of research. The binder-, flavor- and additive-free preparation, the absence of added bulk elements such as calcium, phosphorus or magnesium and artificial vitamins as well as the chelated form enable excellent trace element absorption without burdening the metabolism in any way. Compared to many similar products, the risk of disturbing the mineral balance or displacement reactions is extremely low due to the extremely sparing use and high bioavailability that this makes possible. This means that even severe trace element deficiencies can be reliably remedied in the long term. The use of only organically bound trace elements also conserves vitamin reserves (Shurson et al.1996). No. 4 Gold Value is now recommended by many modern vets and alternative practitioners with a clear conscience. Result of the product test at the Ströh company in Hamburg: Grade 1.5! The picture above shows two Arabian yearling mares, photographed in 2011 by Katja Stuppia (www.katjastuppia.ch) in the possession of Christine Pellanda from Feusisberg (Switzerland), fed with No. 4 Goldwert.signs of a deficiency of trace elements are really manifold. They can begin with performance deficits and nervous disorders such as restlessness, jumpiness or mental instability. However, skin, coat and hoof problems also often occur. The change of coat is slow and in older horses the top coat begins to become longer and curlier. The hooves grow slowly, are often brittle or tend to rot. Pigementation disorders and discoloration may occur. Eczema and allergy: In particularly severe deficiency situations, feed-related eczema and itching may develop, as well as immune system disorders such as susceptibility to infections and increased allergy tendencies. Chronic bronchitis, digestive disorders with diarrhea or a tendency to defecate can also be caused by a lack of zinc, copper, manganese and selenium, as can tension, muscle problems, cartilage degradation, osteoporosis, bone formation disorders and metabolic problems such as Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) or Equine Cushing's Syndrome (ECS). It is particularly regrettable that alternative (subtle) healing methods do not work if a trace element deficiency prevents the regenerative capacity of the tissues as part of the self-healing process (see article: Good nutrition - better healing success). Trace element deficiency in foals - sad certainty: Numerous studies on horses have shown a connection between leg problems and an undersupply of trace elements, especially copper, in foals and growing horses. Zinc, copper, selenium and manganese deficiencies are now scientifically confirmed as the cause of stance faults, short stature, chip formation and osteochondrosis.

30 to 45g daily (2 to 3 measuring spoons). Small horses and ponies 30g (2 scoops per day). No. 4 Goldwert can be fed successfully all year round.
Due to the increased trace element content, please do not feed more than 120g per horse per day. No. 4 Gold Value is not an "all-in-one" mineral feed, but it fills exactly the nutrient gaps of the affected horses and thus helps to achieve more lasting well-being than conventional mineral feeds. A year-round mineralization with No. 4 Goldwert is rounded off with the product Mg Magnesium in times of higher muscle stress or with No. 7 Jungbrunnen as a supply for older and weather-sensitive horses. No. 17 Feuerstrahl has proven its worth as a vitamin supplement during the change of coat and in the low vegetation period (November to February).
A combination with inorganically oriented and thus common mineral feeds on the market has not proved to be really effective in specific deficiency situations.
