Chromium is a trace mineral which supports healthy glucose tolerance levels.

UltraCruz® Equine Metabolic Support Supplement for Horses is a supplement for horses that require support to help maintain healthy metabolic function, plus support for carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. When used along with proper diet and exercise, UltraCruz® Equine Metabolic Support Supplement for Horses may help your horse achieve and maintain a normal metabolic rate.

For horses that simply require additional support to maintain normal blood sugar and aid glucose tolerance levels, we recommend UltraCruz® Equine Chromium Yeast.

Is the magnesium from citrate? I found this product using the filters and selected magnesium citrate, but in the ingredients list it's only stated as magnesium. Please confirm if the magnesium is magnesium citrate.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great supplement!First of all, my horses love the taste, they’ll eat it without any other grain on top! I bought it for 2 horses, Polaris and Dolce, that are a bit overweight and are not getting as much exercise because we are in 2 feet of snow. Polaris seems to have stomach acid issues as well and so I thought the other ingredients of this supplement may help with that. I’ve been giving it to them morning and night (sometimes once a day) for 2 weeks and Polaris has not been as aggressive towards the other 4 horses at feeding time and he has lost 2” around his abdomen. The price is reasonable and if it continues to help, I will definitely keep buying!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Effective, Affordable SupplementIt is a little soon to tell, but several weeks I to switching my very sensitive older gelding from one fairly expensive metabolic support supplement to the Santa Cruz line, he seems to be doing great. In a few more weeks I will have blood work done to confirm he is staying on the right track, but so far there is no waste with the pellets, it is palatable and seems effective. The last time I tried to switch products he immediately showed symptoms, but so far has responded well. As an added bonus bonus, the ordering and shipping were far less of a headache as well.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from So far - So goodMy horse's insulin count rose, so the vet wants to start him on a metabolic support supplement. I'm glad I found UltraCruz Metabolic Support! The customer service was very helpful. It arrived promptly and. my horse loves it! I noticed within a few days that his mood was better. Vet will recheck to see where his insulin level is in a few months. I'll update my review at that time. But I'm happy with results so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My horse loves it!Our mare that typically will turn her nose up and walk away from most supplements does not even think twice before she eats her UltraCruz Equine Metabolic Support Supplement. She eats it all without hesitation. I cannot wait to see the transformation it makes for her after she has been on it for a while.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Visible ResultsEquine Metabolic Support has made a visible difference in lean muscle mass on my cutting mare who is an easy keeper. I've been feeding it for about two years and during that time I had taken her off the product for about two months. Her body condition declined and I knew that it was due to her being off the metabolic support from Santa Cruz Animal Health. Super happy this is available!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Completely satisfied with Metabolic SupportI used a competitor's metabolic support for a decade. UltraCruz has the same ingredients at a better price and it is pelletized instead of a powder. It is more palatable to the horse. I would highly recommend this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really works !Bough this to try on a mare with metabolic issues, cresty neck, low energy, etc After a few weeks she had lots of energy, liked to work, and slimmed down a bit. Almost a different horse. Will keep her on this for life.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful product!My large Percheron/TB horse Willie loves this metabolic product. I am working with a chemist to provide just exactly what he needs. She is VERY PARTICULAR and was also impressed with the product! I will certainly purchase this again!!
