About Our Company

More than three decades ago SOURCE president and founder, Susan Domizi was competing on her eventing horse, Hull, with hopes of being on the US Equestrian Olympic Team. "My horse [Hull] had hoof problems and couldn't maintain his body weight. He received the finest feeding program and veterinary care available. I suspected a nutrient deficiency and set out to find something to help him." She found a great deal of Norwegian and Japanese research on seaweeds that scientists and agriculturists here had been able to duplicate. In addition to using information learned while earning a degree from Columbia University in New York, she studied all available data to determine what the American studies had missed. She used this information as a starting point for developing other approaches..

By trying different kinds of seaweeds, different blends, different methods of processing and constantly analyzing the findings she came up with a finely ground, dry mixture that she put in her horse's food. Her horse began to thrive. And that was the first serving of the product that was later to become SOURCE.

SOURCE ® “Original” and Pelleted “Original” Micronutrients for Horses Is...

NOT a Feed  
NOT a Protein Supplement
NOT a Vitamin Supplement
NOT a major Mineral Supplement

Many thousands of horsemen have provided adequate levels of all of the above in a sound nutritional program, yet still been baffled by horses who express signs of subclinical and clinical disorders to which they can attribute no known nutritional or disease origin. These would include the many problems associated with hoof growth, weight, coat, stamina, conception, attitude and general "bloom". Increasing the amounts of the above does not result in improvement and indeed may compound the problems.

Thousands of these same horsemen have added SOURCE, the broad spectrum micronutrient supplement, to their horse's diets and experienced dramatic improvement.

"Original" SOURCE Formula
Source contains an extremely broad spectrum of at least 60 elements and their associated micronutrient compounds in a biologically active form. SOURCE contains small amounts of naturally occurring vitamins (14), the 14 currently recognized "essential trace elements", the 21 trace elements now under special consideration with respect to essentiality, plus other unidentified associative factors whose role in nutrition has not yet been established.

SOURCE "Nuggets"
Source Nuggetsconsists of a daily serving of the original SOURCE micronutrients (the concentrated powder) plus all-natural ingredients added to protect our micronutrients during the pelletizing process. They taste so good that you can mix them with feed as usual, or they can even be hand fed. This is especially convenient if you are feeding only pelleted feed, or where the horse is on pasture, or on a restricted diet where he is receiving little or no concentrate feed. Source Nuggets contain the same nutrient power as the original Source, but in a convenient pellet form.

Feeding Instructions

Provide good quality hay and grain, with protein and carbohydrate levels appropriate for the age and demands of the horse; a balanced calcium / phosphorus ratio, an effective parasite control program, fresh water at all times, free access to salt, a good dental care program and feed one heaping measure of SOURCE Original per 1,000 lbs. of body weight (1/2 oz. daily) - use the measuring scoop included in the container. Feed Source Original everyday, including race and competition days for all classes and ages of horses. Average 15.2 hh horse = 1,000 lbs.

The Solution Section (FAQ)

What is SOURCE Original Micronutrients, and is it a feed or vitamin supplement?

SOURCE is a broad-spectrum micronutrient supplement for horses, not a feed, protein supplement, vitamin supplement, or major mineral supplement. It supplies an extremely broad spectrum of at least 60 elements and their associated micronutrient compounds in a biologically active form. It is meant to fill micronutrient gaps that remain even in an otherwise sound nutritional program.

What is actually in SOURCE Original?

The "Original" SOURCE Formula contains small amounts of naturally occurring vitamins (14), the 14 currently recognized essential trace elements, and the 21 trace elements now under special consideration with respect to essentiality, plus other associative factors. The micronutrients come from seaweeds, which company founder Susan Domizi developed into a finely ground, dry mixture more than three decades ago.

What benefits do horse owners report from feeding SOURCE?

Horse owners report improvements in hoof growth, weight, coat, stamina, conception, attitude, and general "bloom." According to SOURCE, hard keepers gain weight and older animals seem to reclaim lost youth. These are the kinds of subclinical signs that often don't improve by simply increasing feed, protein, vitamins, or major minerals.

How do I feed SOURCE Original to my horse?

Feed one heaping measure of SOURCE Original per 1,000 lbs. of body weight (1/2 oz. daily), using the measuring scoop included in the container. An average 15.2 hh horse equals about 1,000 lbs. SOURCE recommends feeding it every day, including race and competition days, for all classes and ages of horses, alongside good quality hay and grain, fresh water, free access to salt, and a sound parasite and dental program.

What is the difference between SOURCE Original and SOURCE Nuggets?

SOURCE Original is the concentrated micronutrient powder you mix into feed. SOURCE Nuggets contain the same nutrient power in a convenient pellet form, with all-natural ingredients added to protect the micronutrients during pelletizing. Nuggets taste good enough to hand feed and are especially handy for horses on pelleted feed, on pasture, or on a restricted diet with little or no concentrate feed.

Is there a guarantee if SOURCE doesn't work for my horse?

Yes. SOURCE offers a full money-back guarantee: if you are not satisfied with any of the products for any reason, your money will be refunded in full with no strings attached. You simply enclose proof of purchase.
