METABOLEEZE:

METABOLEEZE is a highly digestible supplemental source of the micromineral chromium, manufactured specifically for horses, which has been proven to help clear glucose from the circulation while simultaneously producing less insulin. Not all sources of chromium are equally effective. The bioavailability (absorption and retention) and biological activity (ability to potentiate insulin) varies with each source. The proprietary organic chromium yeast found in METABOLEEZE strongly potentiates insulin. Recent research indicates that the chromium in METABOLEEZE was absorbed and retained far more efficiently than chromium picolate or chromium chloride. In addition to chromium, METABOLEEZE contains a combination of B-complex vitamins and organic trace minerals.

Insulin-Resistant Horses

METABOLEEZE is an ideal supplement for horses with Cushing’s Syndrome (pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction, PPID). Horses afflicted with Cushing’s Syndrome often develop glucose intolerance and therefore have difficulty processing sugars and starches found in typical feeds. METABOLEEZE helps Cushing’s horses by lowering circulating levels of insulin, thereby improving insulin sensitivity. When used in conjunction with typical therapies (pergolide or cyproheptadine), evidence suggests that METABOLEEZE corrects insulin resistance more rapidly.

Performance Horses

Horses subjected to strenuous exercise and fed high-grain diets excrete more chromium in their urine than sedentary horses. This makes supplementation with METABOLEEZE beneficial by ensuring normal insulin levels. In a research trial, METABOLEEZE also decreased the accumulation of lactic acid which is thought to hasten fatigue in exercising horses. METABOLEEZE may also reduce the incidence of tying-up by eliminating irregularity in carbohydrate metabolism.

METABOLEEZE is available in 3 and 25 lb buckets.
