Glucose Support

HorseFlex Glucose Support is a complementary feed for horses to support sugar metabolism. The supplement helps to balance the glucose level with varying sugar levels in grass and when changing rations. 

What is Glucose Support for horses?

Glucose Support is a powder mix of purely natural ingredients and can be used in horses or ponies to support healthy sugar metabolism. The mix includes artichoke, nettle, curcuma, monk’s pepper, brewer’s yeast and more. It supports your horse’s glucose absorption, has a positive effect on the immune system and supports proper pancreatic and intestinal function. It helps to keep glucose levels balanced and is therefore very suitable during the grazing season when the fructan (sugar) content in the grass is high.

Problems caused by spring grass

During the winter months, your horse’s gastrointestinal system is completely set up for dry roughage. Therefore, when grass becomes part of the daily ration again in spring, it affects your horse’s digestion and sugar levels. But why is that? 

Grass constantly produces fructan (a type of sugar). This fructan is used for growth but gets only processed when the temperature is high enough. As a result, sugar levels are highest as soon as the temperature outside starts to rise after a period when grass growth was stagnant. Therefore, in spring, the fructan content in grass is highest. If a horse ingests too much of this sugar-rich grass, there is a risk of various health issues. To minimise the risk of spring grass, it is important to take time transitioning your horse to pasture and slowly increase the grazing periods by an additional 15-30 minutes per day. In addition, you can support your horse’s sugar metabolism with Glucose Support.

When can you give Glucose Support to your horse?

HorseFlex Glucose Support supports sugar metabolism and thus helps keep your horse’s glucose levels balanced. This makes Glucose Support very suitable to support your horse during the transition from stable to pasture and throughout the grazing season. Additionally, Glucose Support contributes to maintaining a healthy weight and is therefore also suitable for horses that could use some extra support to maintain their weight.
