Hemp blend PLUS

That depends on the horse.

• Metabolism Booster — if there's a suspected zinc deficiency. Zinc is added separately here as a trace element.
• Hemp Blend PLUS — if the horse is extremely picky or finicky. To date, it has been eaten by all horses.
• Pure Magnesium — as an intermittent course, especially for horses with high performance demands or heavy sweating.

For PSSM1 horses, the Hemp Blend PLUS is generally recommended, as PSSM1 horses should not be fed too much chromium-containing nettle. However, there are also many positive reports from PSSM1 horse owners who have fed the Booster despite the low nettle content. If in doubt, clarify the feeding of horses with metabolic issues with your vet.

Alternating between products makes sense for a varied horse diet.

Basically anytime. Support during shedding is particularly important—this always begins at the solstices, i.e., on December 21st and June 21st.

Whenever the days get shorter or longer again—i.e., on December 21st and June 21st. Ideally, the coat change should be supported from this point onwards, especially for horses with eczema, itching, a weak immune system, or a tendency to mud fever.

The coat change does not only begin when the hair falls out—it stresses the organism much earlier. Therefore: support less fit horses right from the start, not just when the coat change is visible.

The effect will be quicker if the supplementary feed is given more often. But a feed supplement 4 times a week is better than none. Simply as often and as regularly as possible.

In what order should I administer the courses?

That depends on the horse's constitution and basic diet. A proven sequence:

• Spring — 2 kg initial course with the metabolism booster for the coat change
• Summer — pure magnesium (increased need due to training and sweating)
• Autumn — metabolism booster again for the autumn coat change
• Winter — winter strength as support for the cold season

This depends on the goal:

• Shedding season — until the horse has finished shedding its coat
• Stable move, training phase, muscle building, immune system boost — as a course, until the horse is "back in its stride"

In most cases, an initial course of at least 2 kg is advisable. For horses with noticeable issues, often 3 kg at a time, followed by maintenance feeding of 1 kg with 2 to 3 servings per week.

Between 3 days and about one month — depending on metabolism and many other factors such as weather changes, coat changes or grass composition.

Nervous horses usually become calmer, while phlegmatic horses become more lively and vital. Both weight and temperament usually show a positive effect towards "inner balance".

Our own Icelandic young horses receive metabolic boosters, hemp-plus mixture and magnesium alternately and are developing wonderfully. We cannot assess the individual vital nutrient requirements of your young horse remotely – but the feedback from practical experience is consistently positive, even for young horses.

Several breeder customers have been feeding the supplement to pregnant mares for a long time and are very satisfied with the effect. If you have any questions or are unsure, please consult your local veterinarian.

Yes. Many horse owners have reported to us that both the metabolism booster and the hemp blend PLUS have helped to balance weight — overweight horses have lost weight, and underweight horses have gained weight.

Yes, with very positive feedback from practice — and for all Horse Vitality Company products.

The metabolism booster. The combination of hemp amino acids, added zinc, metabolism-stimulating magnesium, and nettle is very valuable for healthy hoof growth. We have received a lot of positive feedback from practice.

Normally not. When feeding individually, the effect can be observed most accurately. In addition, the calcium content in many supplementary feeds for horses is very high — this can significantly hinder the absorption of zinc and magnesium.

In the case of special deficiency symptoms or abnormalities, an additional administration may be useful — please always discuss this with the veterinarian.

Selenium is better absorbed in combination with zinc — it can be combined well with Metabolic Booster or Hemp Blend PLUS. However, selenium treatments should always be discussed with your vet, as an overdose can quickly become toxic.

Store in a dark, cool, and well-sealed place. Minerals and trace elements are not lost during this process — however, natural vitamins from the herbs, such as vitamin E, may decrease over a longer period. Since the important trace elements are preserved, the mixture is also well-suited for longer storage times.

Tip: It is best to order together with stable colleagues, then the package will be used up faster.
