Supports overweight horses: ESS Metabolin

According to studies around half of the horses in Europe are overweight and almost 20% of them are even severely obese. These horses are at high risk of developing Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS).
The disease is triggered by overeating and lack of exercise and is manifested by so-called insulin dysregulation (often referred to as "diabetes") and a greatly increased risk of developing laminitis.

For EMS-diagnosed or generally overweight horses, a strict diet and a well thought-out training plan are on the daily schedule. During the diet, the horse takes in fewer calories from the feed than the body needs so that its fat reserves are used. Unpleasant side effect: The muscles are also broken down during a diet. In order to prevent this, a protein-rich (amino acids) feeding is particularly important.

How does ESS Metabolin work?

ESS Metabolin contains a combination of important, essential amino acids - including the BCAAs isoleucine, leucine and valine. The high proportion of easily digestible proteins supports the maintenance of the muscles during the adapted basic feeding and the more intensive exercise. In addition, the powder has natural sources of chromium and vital substances that can have a positive effect on restoring insulin sensitivity - the risk of laminitis can be reduced.

When does my horse need ESS Metabolin?

ESS Metabolin is suitable for horses of all ages and performance classes that are on a diet because they are overweight or have been diagnosed with EMS.
The high protein and manganese content with relatively very little added sugar and starch is also ideal for horses suspected of having PSSM,in order to support the muscles with high-quality proteins and trace elements.

Applicable to:

• severe overweight
• EMS diagnosis (Equine Metabolic Syndrome)
• insulin resistance
• altered glucose metabolism
• laminitis patients
• diet feeding
• poorly developed muscles
• in case of PSSM diagnosis / suspicion
• to compensate roughage with a low protein content
