Equine Metabolic Support
Equine Metabolic Syndrome ("EMS") affects a horse's body in several ways, including insulin dysregulation, weight gain and/or localized fat pockets, and laminitis. Insulin dysregulation describes the disturbance of the normal balance between insulin, glucose and lipids. EMS can be the result of genetic predisposition or environmental and management factors such as high sugar/starch diets.
Managing EMS typically requires low sugar and starch intake and management through specific supplementation that can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation. Metabolic's specific blend of ingredients is designed to support the healthy metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids and fats in order to maintain healthy metabolic function and insulin levels.

Why the long face? We have answers to your questions right here.
Can’t find what your looking for? Contact Us
How long will it take to see a difference?
The best way to monitor improvement in your horse's glucose level is with a blood test. Typically horses will show a significant improvement in the glucose blood test within the first month.
How does Metabolic help control my horse's insulin levels?
Metabolic’s proprietary blend helps control insulin levels by supporting glucose metabolism and increasing insulin sensitivity.
Is it safe for long term use?
Yes! It is designed for your horse to stay on long term as part of an ongoing maintenance program.
Can Metabolic help reduce the risk of laminitis?
Yes, by improving insulin sensitivity and reducing insulin levels overall, this can help prevent the systemic inflammation and changes to the blood vessels in the hoof that contribute to laminitis.
For metabolic horses who struggle with laminitis, is there anything else you can feed with Metabolic to further support their hooves?
Yes! Crackdown is designed to help increase circulation within the hoof helping to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the laminar tissue.
Can I give Metabolic to a horse without a metabolic issue for prevention?
Yes, horses that have genetic predispositions can benefit from insulin sensitizing supplements as a preventive measure.
Is the dosage based on horse size or condition?
No, the daily dose for all classes of horses and ponies is 1 scoop daily, which can be given at one feeding or split between two if preferred.
How long should my horse stay on it?
So long as the genetic predispositions or environmental factors that lead to metabolic disorder are present, your horse is best served by remaining on the supplement long term.
Will Metabolic help my horse lose weight?
Not really. Though Metabolic can support weight management insofar as it improves how horses store and metabolize energy, it is only part of what is required for weight loss (proper diet and exercise).
What is the consistency of the supplement?
Metabolic is powdered.
Does Metabolic help a horse with Cushings?
Horses with Cushings can develop insulin resistance so in this regard Metabolic can be helpful. But it will not affect the over production of ACTH and is not a substitute for Pergolide.
How is Metabolic different from other metabolic supplements on the market?
Metabolic is different from other supplements on the market in several ways. It doesn't contain any filler or binding agents that add unnecessary sugar and starch to your horse's diet. Unlike other products that have only one or two ingredients geared towards reducing inflammation, Metabolic has several different ingredients designed to increase insulin sensitivity, reduce inflammation, support healthy laminae, and maintain healthy weight and body condition. And conveniently, you don't need to get Metabolic through your veterinarian; it is available directly from us.
Do you offer farm incentive programs?
Yes. For barns buying in bulk please email us at [email protected] to discuss eligibility and incentive structure.
Where do you ship from?
All orders ship from our warehouse in Wellington, FL.
Do you have sales or promo codes?
No. We do not have sales or promo codes because we offer the highest quality product at the lowest possible price year round.
Do you have sample sizes of the supplements?
No. The reason we do not have sample sizes is because the average time frame for seeing an improvement is generally 2-3 weeks so for people wanting to sample the products we suggest starting with the 30 day supply.
Testimonials
"We’ve been using Metabolic for several months now, and the results have been incredible. We first started with our PSSM hunter, and the improvement in his topline, behavior, and coat condition has been remarkable. Our 1.30m jumper has also responded beautifully — he’s developed noticeable muscle definition through his undercarriage (he practically has abs now)! It’s truly an outstanding product that fills a much-needed gap in the industry. "
Noble Hunters & Jumpers
"Metabolic has been an amazing addition to our supplement lineup, keeping our heard in tiptop shape. We already utilize many of the Equine Elixirs products so this was an easy addition for us. We feel it has helped our metabolic horses successfully maintain a healthy weight body condition."
