Nutrition plays a pivotal role in the stallion’s overall comprehensive health, as well as his ability to be successful in the breeding barn.
“Nutrition allows us to help the entire horse, and it's one of our most important methods. There is more and more great research coming out regarding the benefits of nutrition, particularly omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. They affect so much on the outside of the horse that you just have to think there are positive effects on the inside as well.” — Dr. Charlie Scoggin, DVM, MS, DACT, Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital

Platinum Performance® GI provides a gastrointestinal-focused approach to total horse health. Equine gut health is not only important for proper digestion but also immune health because an estimated 70-80 percent of the immune system lives in a horse’s gastrointestinal system. This veterinary-developed formula provides omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins, trace minerals, along with Bio-Sponge®, prebiotics, probiotics and glutamine for GI support.
Recommended daily dosage for a 1,000 lb horse is 2 scoops, which is 2 servings.

Platinum Colic Coverage® Eligible Formula
The health of the equine gut is correlated to not only general digestive well-being but has far-reaching implications in significant areas of health including the immune system, metabolism, gastrointestinal function and more.
Platinum Performance® GI is a proprietary blend of vitamins, trace minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, omega-3s, probiotics, prebiotics and more—to support your horse in many ways, from digestion to joint health and everything in between.
Prebiotics nourish the “good” bacteria in the gut and support the digestion of fiber, while probiotics are important for absorption of nutrients and feed efficiency. Probiotics are also supportive for horses that tend to have loose stool.
An estimated 70-80% of the entire immune system resides in the gut. Nourishing beneficial bacteria can help support a healthy gut barrier and microflora balance.

This antioxidant and omega-3 fatty acid formula contains a powerful blend of fat and water-soluble antioxidants, and DHA, to help protect sperm from the damaging effects of free radicals. This formula is also available as Platinum Potency® paste, with the paste providing approximately ten times more DHA than the powder.
Platinum Motility Plus® is used to help support sperm motility. This formula contains Acetyl L-Carnitine, which has been shown to stimulate beta lipid oxidation in the mitochondria of the sperm. This increased energy production can help support healthy sperm motility in some stallions with low motility.
