Developed in veterinary practice, Platinum Performance® CJ is the only supplement of its kind to combine ASU and other joint-supporting ingredients (glucosamine sulfate, MSM, cetyl myristoleate and hyaluronic acid) with a whole-horse wellness formula that supports every part of the horse.

This daily probiotic formula provides both prebiotics (mannan oligosaccharides) and probiotics (Saccharomyces c.boulardii 1079 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae 1077) to support digestion and hindgut health. The prebiotics nourish the "good" bacteria in the gut, and support the digestion of fiber. The probiotics are important for maintaining proper pH levels, absorption of nutrients, feed efficiency and immune health. This formula can be helpful in horses that have difficulty maintaining weight, are susceptible to hindgut issues, or frequently have a loose stool.
To maintain digestive health in foals: Feed 1/2 scoop (3 g) twice daily.
To support digestion in foals with advanced needs: Feed 1 level scoop (6 g) twice daily.
To maintain digestive health in adult horses: Feed 1 level scoop (6 g) twice daily.
To support digestion in horses with advanced needs: Feed 2 level scoops (12 g) twice daily.
If necessary, mix with a small amount of 100°F water and immediately feed with an oral syringe. Serving based on the average horse weight of 1000 lbs.
Recommended for use within 6 months of manufacture date.
Bio-Sponge® is an equine health supplement designed to help support healthy gastrointestinal function in foals and adult horses. Now administration of this highly effective intestinal support formula is easy with the release of Bio-Sponge® Paste in convenient individual dose syringes.
What is Bio-Sponge®?
Bio-Sponge® (DTO smectite) is referred to as an organo mineral as it is comprised of organic matter and minerals.
How Does Bio-Sponge Work?
Bio-Sponge® has a large surface area and when in close proximity to positively charged ions, it binds to them and will remove them from the digestive system. It’s because of this adsorption-effect that Bio-Sponge® can help maintain gastrointestinal function and health.
How Long Does it Take Bio-Sponge® to Work?
Bio-Sponge works very quickly after administration. If there is no noticeable improvement within 7 days, it's recommended to discontinue use. If there is improvement but the intestinal disturbance hasn't resolved, continue administering Bio-Sponge until the loose stool has subsided.
How Long Can a Horse Stay on Bio-Sponge®?
Some horses consume a maintenance dose of Bio-Sponge® as part of their daily diet to maintain digestive health. For most horses Bio-Sponge® is used until the intestinal disturbance has resolved but it can be used long-term if needed.
In Which Countries is Bio-Sponge® Also Available?
Bio-Sponge® is also available in the following countries: Canada, Mexico, New Zealand and the European Union.

Platinum Skin & Allergy is a potent formula that may be helpful in horses with seasonal allergies. Allergies can appear both in the skin as well as the respiratory airways in horses generally from exposure to allergens like mold, spores and insect bites. Platinum Skin & Allergy formula works by helping to maintain a healthy immune system and providing ingredients like quercetin, a naturally-occurring antioxidant, to maintain healthy histamine levels.

Platinum Skin & Allergy works best when given in combination with one of our foundation formulas such as Platinum Performance® Equine. For picky eaters, sprinkle less than the full dose during meal time, gradually allowing your horse to get used to the smell and taste. It might also be helpful to mix a small amount of water so the supplement sticks to your horse’s feed better and doesn’t sift to the bottom of the ration. If your horse doesn’t eat it right away, don’t be discouraged— it may take a few days for your horse to become comfortable with the change.
