"Superfood Security" is a sugar and starch-reduced feed and was developed specifically for the needs of horses with metabolic diseases such as equine metabolic syndrome, laminitis and equine Cushing's syndrome. But Sensitive Security is also the right choice for horses that require grain-free feeding due to muscle diseases such as tying up, PSSM and rhabdomyolysis and can also be used for stomach ulcers.
✓ Grain and molasses free
✓ Greatly reduced starch and sugar content
✓ High content of low glycemic fiber
✓ Stabilization of carbohydrate and fat metabolism
✓ High feed volume with low energy intake at the same time
It's not just people who suffer from obesity, more and more horses are also falling victim to this wealth problem. It particularly affects easy-to-feed and frugal breeds. Little exercise and a diet that is low in vital substances and high in energy leads to obesity, which can lead to Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) and cause other problems such as laminitis and organ problems. EMS can be recognized by the typical fat deposits on the mane comb, above the tail and on the shoulder. The fat deposit formation that occurs during EMS can lead to insulin resistance. The fat deposits are by no means passive storage tissue but rather very active hormone glands. The hormones produced by fatty tissue eventually lead to insulin resistance. A vicious circle is created. The permanently elevated blood sugar and insulin levels are damaging to tissue and lead to other diseases such as laminitis and organ diseases. The overall ration for overweight horses should be reduced in starch and sugar to avoid EMS and laminitis. In addition, energy intake should be significantly reduced and a strict exercise program should be implemented.
Metabolic diseases lead to muscle problems and reduce the horse's well-being and performance. In order to restore metabolic balance, feeding must also be adjusted. To stabilize metabolism, the starch and sugar content must be reduced.
"Superfood Security" is ideal as a low-energy diet for horses that are at risk or are already sick. Scientific studies have shown that reducing non-structured carbohydrates such as starch and sugar can help to get metabolic diseases that are caused by an excess of sugar and starch under control. Sensitive Security contains approx. 80% less starch and sugar than oats and is therefore ideal as a structure-rich, low-energy feed. To stabilize insulin function, carbohydrate and fat metabolism, "Superfood Security" offers vital substances such as magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, omega-3 fatty acids, lecithin and antioxidants such as vitamin E and fruit flavonoids in high concentrations. The metabolism is actively supported through balanced mineralization. The causes of laminitis can be prevented in this way.
