Often, horse owners are at a loss when it comes to feeding horses with Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) or laminitis. However, this one-sided feeding does not provide the horse with the nutrients it needs to bring its metabolic processes back into balance. The good news is that a syndrome is not a disease that must be permanent. Consistent feeding management and adapted exercise can also provide relief here. Triggering factors are often excessive grazing opportunities and high concentrate feed amounts with inappropriate workload. Large amounts of carbohydrates found in grass but also in cereals (as starch) accelerate the rise in blood sugar. To transport this into the tissue, the metabolism requires the well-known insulin. A constant burden of these factors eventually leads to a decrease in insulin effectiveness up to insulin resistance. According to current knowledge, these circumstances are the main cause of the dreaded laminitis. "Laminitis & Weight Control" offers the horse a low-starch, dietary feed alternative without depriving it of the necessary micronutrients. An adapted exercise program is also particularly important. Active ingredients that help include vitamin B complexes as well as vitamin E, selenium, and minerals such as magnesium, zinc, manganese, and chromium. Highly bioavailable nutrients from herbs and brewer’s yeast that help prevent insulin resistance are also included. This can significantly reduce the risk of laminitis according to current knowledge.
