Bringing a new level of management for horses and ponies with Metabolic challenges.
EquiMetaBalance has been designed with the insulin resistant horse in mind. It has been formulated to assist horses with metabolic conditions such as diabetes, insulin resistance (IR), Equine Metabolic syndrome (EMS), obesity and laminitis.
It is particularly suited to those needing help maintaining healthy glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity and body condition as part of a well-managed diet and lifestyle.
Modern management, grazing patterns and reduced movement can place pressure on the horse’s metabolic system. EquiMetaBalance provides targeted nutritional support using a synergistic blend of selected herbs, minerals and functional ingredients to help support normal metabolic function without adding unnecessary sugars, starches or fillers.
This makes it an ideal choice for horses and ponies that need a carefully controlled diet, including those prone to weight gain, cresty necks or seasonal metabolic challenges.
How EquiMetaBalance supports the horse
EquiMetaBalance works by supporting the body’s natural metabolic processes, helping to maintain balance rather than forcing change. The formulation has been designed to support:
- Normal glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity
- Healthy fat distribution and body condition
- Circulation and nutrient delivery
- Digestive efficiency and nutrient utilisation
- Overall wellbeing in horses under metabolic pressure
It is suitable for long-term feeding and can be used alongside veterinary-prescribed management programmes where appropriate.
EquiMetaBalance is naturally low in sugar and starch and contains no unnecessary fillers or bulking agents. This ensures it can be safely incorporated into forage-based diets and fed to horses and ponies requiring strict nutritional control.
The herbs and nutrients within EquiMetaBalance have been carefully and specifically chosen not only for their individual actions but also how they work together in the assistance of management of these conditions.
The ingredients include :
Astragalus – for its immune enhancing, antibacterial, antiviral, cardioprotective, antioxidant properties and can assist with treating diabetes.
Aloe Vera – Anti-diabetic actions which can be beneficial to the uptake of glucose and the regulation of insulin.
Ashwagandha – with its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immune stimulating properties can be helpful in the management and maintenance of health in metabolic conditions.
Rhodiola – Can reduce the effect stress has on the body, which can allow more adaptability to stressors in the environment, a common trigger for conditions such as laminitis.
Fenugreek Seed – there is scientific evidence of galactomannan as a prebiotic that may play an important role in modulating gut flora by acting as a substrate to beneficial microbes.
Ginger – has reported digestive anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant, cardioprotective properties along with more specific actions directed at the endocrine system.
Feeding rates
EquiMetaBalance can be mixed easily into a small amount of feed.
Up to 300kg bodyweight: 10g per day (approx. ⅔ large scoop)
Around 500kg bodyweight: 20g per day (1 heaped large scoop)
600kg+ bodyweight: 30g per day (2 large scoops)
Suitable for
- Horses and ponies requiring metabolic support
- Horses needing careful weight and dietary management
- Horses on restricted grazing or forage-only diets
- Long-term nutritional support as part of a balanced management plan
For best results, EquiMetaBalance can be fed alongside Oxydane.
Oxydane supports normal cellular function, hydration and nutrient delivery through its balanced daily nutrition and mineral tissue salts, helping the ingredients in EquiMetaBalance to be utilised more efficiently by the horse. The two work synergistically to support overall metabolic balance as part of a well-managed diet.
