“When I know basic needs are being met, I turn to therapeutic nutrition for health concerns. Many times I reach for antioxidants, vitamin E in particular. Because of its versatility, I recommend vitamin E for many different types of cases, and always for athletes and neuromuscular conditions.”

Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, Healthy Weight supports skin, coat, gastric and muscle health. For horses that need to gain weight, Healthy Weight provides calories in addition to forage. It is made from flax oil, a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which makes it a healthy alternative to corn oil. The 1-gallon Healthy Weight now comes in an easy tip-to-measure container made from a material that protects the formula from degradation due to UV light. Administration of the 5-gallon Healthy Weight oil is easier with the Healthy Weight Pump, sold separately.

Cisco

Cisco

Platinum Performance® client since 2010

“We bought Cisco when he was 3 months old. We were naive to the effects of HYPP horses and bought him, knowing he was N/H. We called Platinum. We were floored at how much time they took with us, even having their vets contact us and go over his diet. Their ideas worked! He went from having attacks every 4 weeks to having one attack after 6 weeks, then NONE! He has been attack free since January 2013! We are beyond happy with the results from Platinum!”

Shamrock Girl

Shamrock Girl

Platinum Performance® client since 2012

“Shamrock Girl would have an episode of tying-up one to two times a week which was limiting her ability to train and race. Her daily feeding program was composed primarily of alfalfa hay and included a small volume of grain and 1/4 cup of corn oil. When she continued to tie-up I was recommended that I replace the corn oil with Healthy Weight. Four days after making the change she experienced one more episode before the problem resolved allowing her to successfully to training.”
