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.

In addition to helping support healthy levels of glucose and insulin, Platinum Performance® can help horses to better process the calories they consume from their diet.

Can I administer Glucosamine to horses with Metabolic health concerns?
Recent concern has been raised about potential side effects of supplementing a Metabolic horse with Glucosamine, thinking it may spike blood sugar levels. To test this theory, researchers at the Alamo Pintado Center for Biological Medicine monitored blood glucose levels in horses consuming 7,500mg of Glucosamine Sulfate daily. After 3 weeks of supplementation, there was no significant rise in blood glucose. Therefore, controlled levels of Glucosamine can be safely administered to horses with Metabolic health concerns.
Platinum Performance® Equine contains molasses, can I give this formula to my Metabolic horse?
Yes, the amount of molasses in a daily serving of Platinum Performance® is incredibly small, and has been shown to have no negative effect on glucose and insulin. Studies have shown this formula can help support metabolic health, and has been safely given to horses with Metabolic concerns for over 15 years.
