Tribute Essential K® is a concentrated, low sugar and starch (NSC) ration balancer designed for easy keepers, overweight horses, and horses needing a nutrient boost when fed alongside hay, pasture, or another Tribute® feed. With no added iron and zero corn, oats, or molasses, this balancer delivers essential amino acids, vitamins, and highly bioavailable trace minerals to support topline, performance, hoof quality, and overall wellness. Formulated with premium prebiotics and probiotics, Essential K® also helps promote optimal digestive health.
