Metabolic Supplements - Feed Database

View a list of metabolic supplements for horses in Mad Barn’s equine feed database. Metabolic supplements are formulated to support normal glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and healthy body condition, and typically contain little to no added sugar or starch. They are commonly used for easy keepers, overweight horses, and horses with or prone to metabolic conditions such as equine metabolic syndrome (EMS), insulin resistance, or PPID (Cushing’s disease).

Common ingredients include minerals such as magnesium, chromium, zinc, and copper, antioxidants like vitamin E, and botanical ingredients such as chasteberry and turmeric. These are combined in low-sugar, low-starch formulas intended to support metabolic health without adding to the diet’s glycemic load. Metabolic supplements provide nutritional support and are not a substitute for veterinary care or prescribed medication. Compare mineral and antioxidant levels, sugar and starch content, feeding directions, cost per serving, and nutritional profiles to find a supplement that fits your horse’s needs.
