Equine Metabolic Health Products

• Enzyme Plus
  Enzymes are protein substances that act as organic catalysts to initiate, accelerate, and control specific chemical reactions in the metabolic process. They are the essential catalysts for providing energy for all the body's biochemical reactions. Enzymes are found in all living plant and animal matter, as well as, within the body. They are essential for maintaining proper function of the body, such as digesting feed (undigested feed can putrefy in the intestines and feed undesirable micro-organism, which produce gas and toxins, which can lead to colic and gut permeability). Enzymes are aiding in the repair of tissue and are beneficial when your horse is training. Enzymes play a role in virtually all body activities, each one having a specific function in the body. The enzymes in the body are actually an invisible activity or energy factor and not just the protein molecule itself. The reaction promoted by a particular enzyme is very specific. Therefore, because of cellular metabolism includes hundreds of different chemical reactions, there are hundreds of different kinds of enzymes.

• K.L.P.P.
  K.L.P.P. is a biological feed additive designed to maximize digestive efficiency. A horse's beneficial intestinal bacteria can be destroyed or depleted and the pH of their environment can be altered during times of stress. Competition, travel, breeding, treatment with antibiotics, de-wormers and other medications can cause this stress. Stress can also be created by alterations of weather, environment, feed and water. K.L.P.P. will even assist in managing Colic.

• X-Formula
  Many horses have elevated blood insulin levels without concurrently raised glucose levels. A relatively new condition is being recognized - currently called Syndrome X, Metabolic Disease or Insulin Resistance Syndrome. Syndrome X is a group of symptoms related to insulin resistance or hyperinsulinemia. This syndrome is characterized by an inability to transport glucose into the cell. Cushing's Syndrome in horses has some of the same characteristics as Syndrome X. While some of the specific symptoms are different, the general seriousness of the metabolic derangements is very similar. In insulin resistance, the cell wall insulin receptors cannot transport glucose effectively. X-Formula promotes increased permeability of the cell wall, so insulin will be enhanced and nutrients are provided to help insulin and glucose pathways to function more efficiently.
