Metabolic Health Starts With Daily Support

Metabolic health affects how your horse uses nutrients, maintains weight, handles sugars and starches, and supports long-term soundness.

Horses prone to laminitis, insulin resistance, Cushing’s/PPID, or easy weight gain often need consistent nutritional support, not just short-term changes.

Common Metabolic Concerns in Horses

  • Laminitis Support

    For horses prone to hoof discomfort, inflammation, or metabolic-related hoof issues.

  • Insulin Resistance

    For horses needing support with sugar, starch, and insulin balance.

  • Cushing’s / PPID Support

    For senior or metabolic horses needing daily nutritional and wellness support.

  • Weight Management

    For easy keepers or horses needing help maintaining healthy body condition.

Why Start With Chia?

Equine Chia supports the digestive foundation that metabolic horses depend on.

Chia provides fiber, hydration support, omega-3 fatty acids, and daily digestive support without adding unnecessary sugar, starch, fillers, or molasses.

For horses with metabolic concerns, supporting gut health and nutrient absorption is one of the simplest places to start.
