MetaSupport® Daily flavonoid support for metabolic horses.

Most owners notice the first crest softening and energy changes within 2–3 weeks. Visible fat-pad reduction and freer movement typically settle in by 4–6 weeks. Full metabolic adaptation continues over 60–90 days. Metabolic supplementation is slower than acute treatments — the trade-off is that the change holds. If you haven't seen a meaningful difference by day 60, we'll refund you. See our 60-day Goodbarn Promise.

During our formulation trials, horses fed MetaSupport daily experienced:

· 91% reported softer crests by week 6
· 84% saw reduced fat pads on shoulders, rump, and tailhead
· 79% reported freer movement and less stiffness
· 73% had better pasture-tolerance days — fewer sore-footed mornings
· Improved appetite without weight rebound
· Owners who'd had founder history reported lower-anxiety pasture access

Absolutely. Many of our owners use MetaSupport preventatively before a formal diagnosis. If your horse shows the classic signs — cresty neck, fat pads, easy-keeper profile, sore-footed after grass, pony breed — the metabolism is already asking for help. MetaSupport is a daily wellness blend, not a prescription drug; you don't need bloodwork to use it safely.

Yes — many owners run MetaSupport alongside their vet's pergolide (Prascend) or levothyroxine (Thyro-L) protocol as nutritional support. The flavonoids work through different mechanisms than the drugs — they support endogenous insulin response and inflammation control rather than replacing dopamine or thyroid hormones. As always, confirm with your vet before combining. Most vets are supportive of nutritional adjuncts to their treatment plans.

No. MetaSupport is a daily wellness supplement, not a drug. If your horse has been diagnosed with PPID (Cushing's), the standard veterinary protocol is still pergolide. For severe EMS, your vet may recommend levothyroxine for weight loss. MetaSupport is designed to support those treatments and, for horses with milder metabolic challenges, to provide daily flavonoid nutrition that may delay or reduce the need for pharmaceutical intervention. Never stop a prescription without your vet's guidance.

Three things set MetaSupport apart. One, we name every milligram on the label — no proprietary blends. Two, it addresses all four metabolic systems (insulin support, fat metabolism, inflammation, and the gut foundation most metabolic products ignore) — the leading flavonoid brand misses the gut entirely. Three, at $1.05/day it's roughly half the cost of premium imported flavonoid blends.

Top-dress on the daily feed at feeding time. Mix thoroughly into damp feed for best results. One scoop = 3 g. For a standard 500–600 kg horse, feed 2 scoops daily (6 g). A 360 g bag lasts a standard horse roughly 60 days. Scoop included. For lush spring grass or known sugar spikes, maintain the standard dose — do not increase without veterinary supervision.

Yes — MetaSupport is designed to layer on top of an existing low-NSC feed program. It contains no sugar, no grain, no soy, so it doesn't disrupt the dietary restrictions metabolic horses need. It works alongside soaked hay, low-sugar ration balancers, magnesium supplements, hoof supplements, and electrolytes. If your horse is on multiple metabolic-targeted supplements, we recommend pausing the others for 60 days to see what MetaSupport is doing on its own.

Many owners report exactly that — gradual, supervised return to managed pasture after 60+ days on MetaSupport. This is not a license to ignore management. Founder-prone horses still need careful diet control, muzzling during spring/fall flushes, and veterinary supervision. MetaSupport provides nutritional support for insulin response and inflammation — it does not eliminate laminitis risk. Always work with your vet on pasture protocols.

MetaSupport has no synthetic flavor masks and no sugar — just a mild, slightly herbal scent from the cold-processed flavonoid extracts and green tea. Most picky horses accept it within the first 2–3 days when mixed thoroughly into damp feed or a small amount of soaked beet pulp. The low daily dose (6 g standard) is small enough to disappear into most feeds without detection. If your horse refuses it outright, we'll refund the bag.

Yes. MetaSupport contains no prohibited substances under USEF or FEI rules. The four named flavonoids and yeast culture are all permitted feed ingredients with no withdrawal periods. Riders in the hunter, jumper, eventing, dressage, and pony classes use it through competition season — including at the WEC, Wellington, and Tryon circuits.

Not recommended without veterinary direction. Do not use in pregnant or lactating mares unless directed by a veterinarian. Not for use in foals or horses intended for food. Always consult your veterinarian if your horse is on other medications, has bleeding disorders, gallstones, gastrointestinal ulceration, or kidney disease, or has been diagnosed with a metabolic condition.

Yes — MetaSupport is designed for daily, long-term use. The ingredients are food-grade flavonoid extracts at nutritionally supportive doses, not pharmaceutical concentrations. Metabolic horses generally need lifelong management, and MetaSupport is built to be part of that lifelong protocol. We recommend annual veterinary metabolic panels (insulin, ACTH) for diagnosed horses as standard care, but no withdrawal period or cycling is required for the supplement itself.

Four named flavonoids, with milligrams disclosed per daily dose (2 scoops / 6 g):

Chlorogenic acid (750 mg) · Dihydromyricetin (600 mg) · Quercetin (750 mg) · Postbiotic yeast culture Saccharomyces cerevisiae (900 mg). Also includes organic green tea extract, organic cinnamon, and organic dandelion root for complementary support.

No proprietary blends. No fillers. No synthetic flavors. No sugar, grain, or soy. Third-party tested. 12-month shelf life from manufacture date.

The 360 g bag = 60 days for a standard 500–600 kg horse at the standard dose (2 scoops / 6 g daily). For ponies and minis, the bag lasts longer. At $1.05/day, MetaSupport is roughly half the price of the leading imported flavonoid brand, with every milligram disclosed.

60-day risk-free trial. Feed MetaSupport for 60 days. If your horse's crest hasn't softened, fat pads haven't reduced, or movement hasn't improved, email us and we'll refund the bag — no questions, no return required. Free US shipping on all orders over $75, fully tracked and insured.
