Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) has been widely recognised since the mid-2000s, often linked to obesity, fat deposits, and chronic laminitis. However, research shows that even non-obese horses can develop insulin resistance (IR), making careful dietary management essential.

Sensitive horses struggle with carbohydrate-rich diets, especially from lush grass loaded with natural sugars. These sugars, if unmanaged, can trigger a cascade of metabolic issues- from inflammation to insulin resistance and even laminitis.

MetaTonic provides targeted nutritional support to help manage these challenges naturally and effectively.

• Feeding Acetyl L Carnitine is thought to support the symptoms of leptin resistance.
• Feed DuoBute as an anti-inflammatory preventative.
• Psyllium is a loose-droppings gut-game-changer during grass flush times.

• 16.8.24- I’ve mean meaning to message you to say thankyou. I honestly cannot believe the difference in my pony since starting the VitaComplete and MetaTonic. She struggled so much on the stones after going barefoot after her first and only ever lami episode last march (2023) and was still struggling with thin soles in Feb (2024) when I contacted you. Since then and with time and patience and trying to get her diet as good as I possibly can, whilst also keeping her quality of life with the options I have at my livery yard (aka still at grass most days) she can walk across stones without her boots on now if need be. I’m over the moon. I genuinely can’t believe she’s managed to be barefoot 17 months later. So thankyou very much. I will always vouch for Equinatural where I can! Leanne Davis
• Shanti now has no pulses and cool hooves, the lameness has now passed. Her MetaTonic, L-Carnatine arrived yesterday so put her straight on it. I'm going to order your cool gel on my next order. Definitely believe it's down to all your advice and supplements that have got her back to health so quickly which I cannot thank you enough for. Toni H.
• My mare usually has white line separation in Spring. This spring she's been on the MetaTonic and the DuoBute for a good month before grass really came in, and has not had any issue with her white line this year (cue several party emojis!). Kim
• I took my mare off the MetaTonic for winter and she got laminitis. Even my vet told me to put her back on it. This is a gamechanger. Jane & Princess
• I’m having amazing results with the Metatonic and Duobute with our little BRP pony. The change in her is amazing. I syringe it, she loves taking them so much that she’s waiting over her stable door and will open her mouth for me to squirt it into her mouth. Bee and Tia
• Foxy has been doing brilliantly on the MetaTonic with the Tyrosine and Acetyl L carnitine. For an old, arthritic and retired mare she’s looking the best she has been for several years! Karen, NI
• Hi, I can't believe what a difference I am seeing. I have tried many different supplements over time to help him return to health, he had a hard crest and swollen glands under his jaw as well as a swollen sheath, a general all round look of puffiness and currently footy in his right fore but to no avail. Within two weeks of being on the metatonic his crest softened up beautifully and now nearly two months in it has decreased substantially (nearly gone). His glands have come right down too. Emma
