Modern feeding practices and reduced pasture diversity mean many horses are missing vital nutrients, especially the flavonoids they would naturally consume in the wild. As a result, many horses struggle to process the variable sugar levels in grasses, leading to metabolic issues.

MetaboLize® has been shown to help maintain healthy weight and restore metabolic balance. flavonoids they would naturally consume in the wild.

MetaboLize® is a flavonoid-based supplement designed to support horses with metabolic challenges. It helps promote healthy glucose metabolism, proper fat distribution, nutrient absorption, and gut health.

What makes MetaboLize® unique is its use of flavonoids - plant-derived compounds naturally found in fruits, herbs, and vegetables. Flavonoids act as potent antioxidants and support normal inflammatory, immune, and metabolic responses.

These compounds were once abundant in the diverse plants wild horses foraged but are now largely missing from modern diets. By restoring this missing link, MetaboLize® supports resilience from the inside out

Ingredients:

MetaboLize® is a proprietary blend of natural plant based flavonoid extracts consisting of dihydromyricetin, quercetin and chlorogenic acid, plus Saccharomyces cerevisiae Prebiotic.

MetaboLize® is manufactured under GMP certification, with every batch undergoing rigorous testing and validation prior to release to ensure consistent quality and compliance with substance levels of detection established by NZ Thoroughbred Racing, NZ Harness Racing, FEI, and other equestrian governing bodies.

This process ensures that MetaboLize® is competition safe and can be used responsibly in line with racing rules, FEI regulations, Equestrian Sports NZ guidelines, and other agricultural and equestrian event requirements. Further, it additionally ensures that it does not contain caffeine in any amount which would be unsafe for horses or be in violation of any testing regime.

To further support riders, trainers, and owners, we recommend a 48-hour withholding period prior to competition and racing. This precaution is not because MetaboLize® exceeds thresholds, but to provide an additional margin of safety that accounts for individual horse variation, regulatory differences, and evolving testing standards.

Feed horses up to 400kg 1 scoop per day (3 grams) and 2 scoops if horses over 400kg.

MetaboLize® is a naturally vibrant-coloured plant-based powdered feed supplement that is added to your horse’s normal feed. You can mix it with any oils, add to your wet feeds, or mix through your feed and wet down. MetaboLize® is well tolerated by horses and can simply added to their existing feed ratio.
