Supplements that Support Metabolic Health
Platinum Performance® Equine
Comprehensive Horse Health Begins One Cell at a Time
Horses with metabolic health issues may benefit from a diet including Omega-3 fatty acids to help control glucose metabolism. Antioxidants may also be beneficial to metabolic horses as a potential defense against insulin insensitivity. Platinum Performance® Equine is a good source of these Omega-3s and antioxidants as well as minerals, vitamins and more.

The Role of Chromium and Magnesium
Chromium and Magnesium both play vital roles in blood glucose levels and the bodies' ability to metabolize carbohydrates. At Platinum Performance® we use Chromium Yeast which is an excellent bio-available source of Chromium. It is used by the body to support healthy glucose tolerance and helps maintain normal blood sugar levels as it is an important cofactor for insulin function and exerts insulin-like effects in vitro by supporting insulin sensitivity. Chromium may also help promote healthy fat loss and lean muscle tissue development. Magnesium also is necessary for metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids and fats and for utilization of Calcium, Phosphorus, Sodium and Potassium. Full product info >
Horse Health Tip
Clinical Signs of Horses That Have Metabolic Health Issues
There are clinical signs that you can look for if you are concerned that your horse might have a metabolic problem. One clinical sign would be excess weight gain or fatty deposits. Drinking excessive amounts of water and excessive urination. Long coarse wavy coat that they don't shed in the summer time or pot bellied appearance with a loss of muscle on the topline. Another factor that needs to be taken into consideration is the age of your horse. Older horses are more likely to have Cushing's Disease than other types of metabolic issues.
