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.
