Modern feeding practices and reduced pasture diversity mean many horses are missing vital nutrients, especially the flavonoids they would naturally consume in the wild. As a result, many horses struggle to process the variable sugar levels in grasses, leading to metabolic issues.
In field studies, MetaboLize® has been shown to:
- Reduce Cresty Neck Score (without affecting overall body condition score).
- Increase ability to move freely in ponies with insulin dysregulation.
- Decrease the presence of fatty lumps.
- Maintain healthy weight and metabolic balance.
MetaboLize® is a flavonoid-based supplement designed to support horses with metabolic challenges. It helps promote healthy glucose metabolism, proper fat distribution, nutrient absorption, and gut health. What makes MetaboLize® unique is its use of flavonoids - plant-derived compounds naturally found in fruits, herbs, and vegetables. Flavonoids act as potent antioxidants and support normal inflammatory, immune, and metabolic responses. These compounds were once abundant in the diverse plants wild horses foraged but are now largely missing from modern diets. By restoring this missing link, MetaboLize® supports resilience from the inside out.
MetaboLize® is a proprietary blend of natural plant based flavonoid extracts consisting of dihydromyricetin, quercetin and chlorogenic acid, plus Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pre and Postbiotics.
Feed horses up to 400kg 1 scoop per day (3 grams) and 2 scoops if horses over 400kg.
MetaboLize® is a naturally vibrant-coloured plant-based powdered feed supplement that is added to your horse’s normal feed. You can mix it with any oils, add to your wet feeds, or mix through your feed and wet down. MetaboLize® is well tolerated by horses and can simply added to their existing feed ratio.

Ingredients
Developed with Experts.
Backed by Research.
Once common in wild forage but now lacking in modern diets, Flavonoids are antioxidants found in plants and berries that support healthy inflammatory, immune, and metabolic responses.
MetaboLize is a flavonoid-based supplement that helps horses with metabolic challenges by supporting healthy glucose metabolism, insulin response, thyroid health and fat distribution.
Chlorogenic acid, abundantly found in fruits, wild berries, and vegetables, offers potential benefits for laminitic horses. This flavonoid has also been linked to anti-inflammatory actions and exhibits properties that may help regulate glucose metabolism. By modulating glucose levels, chlorogenic acid assists in managing insulin resistance, a common underlying factor in laminitis cases.
A powerful flavonoid found in various fruits, vegetables, herbs, and wild plants, possesses remarkable anti-inflammatory properties. Studies suggest that Dihydromyricetin may help reduce inflammation within the hoof, alleviating pain and supporting the healing process. Additionally, this flavonoid demonstrates antioxidant effects, protecting the hoof tissues from further damage caused by free radicals.
Widely distributed in numerous plant-based foods, showcases both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, as well as releasing energy into the body. In the context of laminitis, quercetin aids in reducing inflammation, improving blood flow to tissues adjacent to the hooves, and increasing the horse's comfort. Furthermore, this flavonoid has been associated with supporting the immune system, which can be beneficial during the recovery process.

Lost Weight In A Short Period
My pony was a typical Welshie - cresty neck and fat lumps starting to develop and I struggled to get weight off her.
In a short period of time on Metabolize she’s lost weight and the crest seems smaller and less firm. I can easily grab the crest and move it about! You need to make something like this for Fat Labradors too!
I let her out without her muzzle for 2 days and normally she would balloon but she’s stayed the same!

This Is An Exciting Product
Our horse had a very cresty neck and significant fat lumps around his bottom and top of tail.
Exercise and diet wasn’t making a difference so when I had the chance to trial Metabolize I grabbed it.
Continuously over a period of 8 weeks the neck became softer and reduced in size to the point that his neck almost looks normal and fat lumps have shrunk.
I have also noticed an improvement in his movement too. This is an exciting product.

No More Locking Up!
As an owner of founder susceptible ponies, we spend a lot of time monitoring diet and grass intake and being wary of sugar spikes so I was very keen to try anything that was going to make the life of a pony owner easier!
Our guys ranged from youngsters to an elderly, founder prone, mild cushings pony. Our guys were on a low sugar maintenance diet - there were no issues in eating the supplement, they maintained weight so well, they put on extra but in the right places and the best bit they were able to stay on their pasture (within reason) and not be locked up as is often the case with ponies.
Temperaments didn’t change on the product, if anything the ponies were happier.

FAQ
MetaboLize attacks insulin resistance and sugar absorption throughout the GI tract and encourages the mobilization of fatty tissue. In addition, the anti-inflammatory components in MetaboLize allow horses and ponies to move more freely and comfortably, speeding up their exercise rehabilitation timeline, and allowing them to burn extra fat and calories more quickly. By working with the body’s natural mechanisms to support and assist the management of carbohydrates more efficiently, and controlling sugars so they are used as energy and not stored as fat, this ideally breaks the cycle of metabolic health issues.
In a Vet Supervised field study, MetaboLize was shown to:
Lower blood sugar, triglyceride, and insulin levels in horses and ponies who are insulin dysregulated
Significantly soften and reduce fatty deposits (fat lumps) in horses and ponies, particularly those suffering from chronic laminitis
Improve energy levels and freedom of movement.
MetaboLize is particularly beneficial for horses and ponies who are insulin dysregulated. These are generally individuals who have been diagnosed with Equine Metabolic Syndrome, Cushing’s disease (PPID), Laminitis (particularly grass founder), or are obese (despite being on a restricted diet), and horses and ponies with fatty deposits (fatty lumps), and overly cresty necks.
MetaboLize also provides support for any horse who is particularly sensitive to sugar or starch in their diet, or who does not tolerate grass well.
Many horse owners who have used MetaboLize have reported great improvement in the overall demeanor, brightness, and desire to move forward and exercise in these cases, even after just a short time.
Horse owners who are using MetaboLize are reporting seeing improved physical changes in as early as 4-5 days, with horses appearing more comfortable and able to move about more freely. The softening of fatty lumps has been reported to occur within two weeks, and should continue to improve over time.
As your horse starts to process the sugars in their diet more normally you may see them become more engaged with life and with a desire and ability to move and exercise more freely.
If you don’t see a result that quickly, don’t panic. Every horse is different, and some may take longer to respond.
MetaboLize has been formulated using published research, and as part of the design phase developing MetaboLize, we undertook a 4 week Vet supervised trial with a cohort of randomly selected ponies in an attempt to measure various clinical outcomes. The trial was designed by an Associate Professor who is an expert in Insulin Dysregulation and conducted by our in-house Veterinarian, Dr. Erin Roddy with the blinded parts of the study conducted by unbiased veterinarians who are not employed by Poseidon Animal Health. The study was performed with the prior approval of the Secretary’s Animal Care and Ethics Committee (DPI, NSW: SECRETARY’S ACEC Project No. RVF22/1789).
The results showed reduction of blood glucose, insulin, and triglyceride levels.
Most of the ponies showed softening and decrease in fatty lumps. Several with lameness issues were moving more freely and had more energy even within a few days of starting Metabolize. The glucose challenge test showed a decrease in the blood glucose and insulin levels which is an indication that the sugar is being cleared from the blood and directed to muscle tissue instead of being deposited as fat.
All the ponies found it palatable and no adverse side effects were noted.
Additionally many more horses and ponies have participated in trialing the product separately. Every person reported a change in their horse, including benefits like reduction of cresty necks, reduction in fat lumps, easier weight management, and reduced episodes of laminitis
90grams should last 30 days for a horse weighing up to 400KG and 15 days weighing over 400kg
180grams should last 60 days for a horse weighing up to 400KG and 30 days weighing over 400kg
Store below 25°c in a dry place. Avoid storing in places where moisture or condensation is found. Keep bag sealed at all times. Keep out of reach of children.
MetaboLize has been designed specifically with laminitic horses in mind. It can safely be used in horses with laminitis and does not contain any ingredients that may cause Laminitis. Just as with everything with laminitic horses, introduce it slowly, just to be on the safe side. Laminitics can be unpredictable, so slow is always best when adding something new to their diet.
For racing and competition horses we recommend a withholding period of 72 hours.
