A: FEEDING TIPS

The most effective way to serve EquiZen powders is with 2 or more scoops of dampened feed.

To keep powder from going to the bottom of the bucket: Mist a small amount of water over feed, then add powder. It will stick to dampened feed. Or, make a bran mash and add powder last.

To hide taste: 

• Add a small amount of dry cherry Jell-O or apple cider drink mix powder over dampened feed.
• Or, mix with a banana or applesauce before adding to feed
• Or, mix in with mash: bran, beet pulp, hay pellets, or Integrity Feed (Low Starch with molasses) www.integrityhorsefeed.com

We recommend a grain such as Integrity Adult/Senior Low Starch (which contains a small amount of molasses, while still a low starch option).

A. WHEN TO FEED EQUIZEN

EQUIZEN POWDER (PRO or Daily Formulas)

EquiZen powder can be giving at morning feeding, or no less than 2 hours before training or showing. The effects are most noticeable 90 minutes after fully consumed and last at peak levels for 5+ hours. If more support is needed, an additional serving of powder or paste can be given. 

EQUIZEN PRO PASTE

A: EquiZen formulas are meticulously curated blends of essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that have been studied for their effects on nervous system function and recovery in times of stress. EquiZen formulas deliver powerful nutraceuticals to support focus and composure without compromising performance. All ingredients are naturally occurring in equines, and become depleted throughout the course of a day, especially during activity. EquiZen uses the most highly bioavailable forms to help the horse's body recover these essential nutrients more quickly.

A: While many products make promises, EquiZen delivers noticeable and repeatable results from the first use. EquiZen products are the culmination of extensive research into the equine nervous system and its response to fluctuations in micro-nutrients under stress. Equizen formulas provide the horse's system with critical vitamins, minerals, and amino acids when they are needed most. We accomplish this by using the highest quality, most bioavailable forms of essential nutrients. We spare no expense in the production of our products. Everything is meticulously made in small batches in our own facility where we control temperature, humidity, and oversee all aspects of quality control.
