Poseidon MetaboLize
Modern feeding practices and reduced pasture diversity mean many horses are missing vital nutrients, especially the flavonoids they would naturally consume in the wild. As a result, many horses struggle to process the variable sugar levels in grasses, leading to metabolic issues.
In field studies, MetaboLize® has been shown to:
-
Reduce Cresty Neck Score (without affecting overall body condition score).
-
Increase ability to move freely in ponies with insulin dysregulation.
-
Decrease the presence of fatty lumps.
-
Maintain healthy weight and metabolic balance.
Description: MetaboLize® is a flavonoid-based supplement designed to support horses with metabolic challenges. It helps promote healthy glucose metabolism, proper fat distribution, nutrient absorption, and gut health. What makes MetaboLize®unique is its use of flavonoids - plant-derived compounds naturally found in fruits, herbs, and vegetables. Flavonoids act as potent antioxidants and support normal inflammatory, immune, and metabolic responses. These compounds were once abundant in the diverse plants wild horses foraged but are now largely missing from modern diets. By restoring this missing link, MetaboLize® supports resilience from the inside out.
MetaboLize® is safe and does not contain added stimulants. As a natural product, variations in trace levels can sometimes occur. As a precaution, we recommend a 72-hour withholding period prior to racing or competition. This is to ensure compliance with swabbing regulations. The trace amount has no known physiological effects and remains completely safe for your horse.
Ingredients: MetaboLize® is a proprietary blend of natural plant based flavonoid extracts consisting of dihydromyricetin, quercetin and chlorogenic acid, plus Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pre and Postbiotics.
- Chlorogenic acid - abundantly found in coffee, fruits, wild berries, and vegetables, offers potential benefits for laminitic horses. This flavonoid has also been linked to anti-inflammatory actions and exhibits properties that may help regulate glucose metabolism. By modulating glucose levels, chlorogenic acid assists in managing insulin resistance, a common underlying factor in laminitis cases.
- Dihydromyricetin - A powerful flavonoid found in various fruits, vegetables, herbs, and wild plants, possesses remarkable anti-inflammatory properties. Studies suggest that Dihydromyricetin may help reduce inflammation within the hoof, alleviating pain and supporting the healing process. Additionally, this flavonoid demonstrates antioxidant effects, protecting the hoof tissues from further damage caused by free radicals.
- Quercetin - Widely distributed in numerous plant-based foods, showcases both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, as well as releasing energy into the body. In the context of laminitis, quercetin aids in reducing inflammation, improving blood flow to tissues adjacent to the hooves, and increasing the horse's comfort. Furthermore, this flavonoid has been associated with supporting the immune system, which can be beneficial during the recovery process.
How to use: Feed horses up to 400kg 1 scoop per day (3 grams) and 2 scoops if horses over 400kg.
MetaboLize® is a naturally vibrant-coloured plant-based powdered feed supplement that is added to your horse’s normal feed. You can mix it with any oils, add to your wet feeds, or mix through your feed and wet down. MetaboLize® is well tolerated by horses and can simply added to their existing feed ratio.
