given with the feed.
Due to the higher trace element content, the daily ration should not be more than doubled. Do not use for pregnant mares.

Feeding period

In order to achieve the optimum effect, the feeding period should be at least 3 weeks. Depending on clinical results, however, feeding for a longer period throughout the year is recommended to improve results.

General findings of nutritional science

Equine Cushing's syndrome (ECS) is characterized by pathological overproduction of the stress hormone cortisol. It is usually triggered by a benign tumor in the pituitary gland. This hormonal disorder leads to numerous physical changes, e.g. in the coat (long and frizzy hair, coat change disorders), hooves (laminitis due to a disturbance in the microcirculation in the hoof corium), blood sugar (increased due to insulin resistance), the immune system (weakened defenses), the musculoskeletal system (muscle loss, connective tissue weakness), appearance (pot belly and sagging back, fat redistribution), liver metabolism (decreased performance, fatigue, emaciation), kidney function (increased thirst, frequent urination, heavy sweating), etc.

Monk's pepper has a regulating effect on hormone balance and the production of the stress hormone cortisol.v

Magnesium, tryptophan, vitamin B12, tyrosine, and phenylalanine from soy reduce the susceptibility to stress in horses with Cushing's disease.

Biotin, zinc, copper and methionine support coat change, improve hair structure, and optimize hoof horn quality.

Ginseng, cinnamon, zinc and chromium promote glucose utilization and thus support the normalization of blood sugar levels.

Probiotics, prebiotics (MOS) and apple pomace support digestion, strengthen the intestinal flora and thus activate the body's natural defenses.

Antioxidants such as vitamins E & C, selenium and omega-3 fatty acids from flaxseed oil, and procyanidins from grape seed flour strengthen the immune system. Together with ginkgo and ginseng, they protect blood circulation in the hoof corium, which is a crucial factor in laminitis.

Silicon, MSM and vitamin C ensure strong and elastic hoof capillaries.

Lysine and soybean protein concentrate promote muscle development and maintenance.

Milk thistle, artichoke, dandelion and liquorice harmonize liver function and energy metabolism.
