Oligoelements are generally recognised for their catalytic effects, as they facilitate most of the biochemical reactions of living organisms, ultimately resulting in tremendous energy savings. It is important to specify their exact role in certain specific situations, such as the functioning of the innate immune system or muscular exercise. In both cases, oxygen consumption is effective and essential, but is accompanied by deleterious effects that oligoelements can largely prevent or moderate. Horses in competition involve large numbers of animals, which means there is a risk of contagion, and significant mechanical effects with short-, medium- and long-term musculoskeletal consequences. We have unparalleled expertise in the use of oligoelements in these two situations, and we need to clearly define each stage and the means of preventing or very precisely controlling pathological drifts.
