A light diet\u2014low \u200b\u200bin carbohydrates\u2014free from conventional cereal starch\r\nWhen feeding horses that are prone to weight gain or are overweight,\r\n it is crucial to clearly distinguish between their nutrient requirements and their energy needs.\r\n If carbohydrate metabolism disorders have already developed\u2014or if you wish to prevent \r\nthem\u2014a specific dietary plan is required: one free from conventional cereal starch but rich in essential nutrients!\r\n\r\nFree from conventional cereal starch; low in starch and sugar\r\nRich in low-glycemic fibers, with aromatic herbs, oils, and oilseeds\r\nTargeted mineral supplementation to stabilize carbohydrate and fat metabolism\r\n<\/span><\/pre>\n
FOR A\r\nLOW-STARCH, LOW-SUGAR DIET Equigard\u00ae is designed for horses that tend to gain weight easily, \r\noverweight horses requiring a low-starch and low-sugar diet, or those at higher risk of metabolic issues due to their constitution.\r\n\r\nLESS STARCH \u2013 BETTER HEALTH\r\nScientific studies show that in cases of metabolic issues, the total content of non-structural carbohydrates\u2014such as \r\ncereal starch and sugars\u2014in the diet should be reduced. Equigard\u00ae contains significantly lower levels of starch and sugar compared to cereals, \r\nmaking it ideal as a low-calorie feed for horses at risk of, or already suffering from, such conditions.\r\n\r\nSUPPORTING METABOLISM\r\nTo stabilize insulin function and the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, vital nutrients play a key role: magnesium, zinc, copper, \r\nmanganese, selenium, omega-3 fatty acids, lecithin, and antioxidants such as vitamin E and fruit flavonoids.\r\n\r\nOUR RECOMMENDATION\r\nEquigard\u00ae is also ideal as a feed for horses on stall rest during convalescence.\r\n\r\nGLUCOGARD\u00ae\/EQUIGARD\u00ae STUDY\r\nFurther information is available at www.st-hippolyt.com regarding the Equigard study currently underway.<\/span><\/pre>\n
