Q: HOW DO I GIVE EQUIZEN TO MY HORSE?
A: FEEDING TIPS
The most effective way to serve EquiZen powders is with 2 or more scoops of dampened feed, grains, or brans.
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 soupy bran mash and add powder last.
To hide taste:
- Add a small amount of blackstrap molasses 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 POWDERS (PRO, DAILY, and FORTE)
· Starts working 90 minutes after fully eaten
· Effects last at peak levels for 5+ hours (then slowly taper off for up to 24 hours)
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 PASTES (PRO and FORTE)
· Starts working in 60-120 minutes, depending on metabolism
· Effects last 4 - 6 hours
· For horses that are too nervous to eat at competitions
Effects are evident after 60 - 120 minutes and last at peak levels for around 5 hours before slowly tapering off. Administer like a worming paste. Care should be taken to be sure your horse has swallowed the full contents. Can be used in combination with a serving of EquiZen Pro Powder or EquiZen Daily.
Q: WHAT IS EQUIZEN?
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.
Q: WHAT MAKES EQUIZEN UNIQUE?
A: 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, and most readily absorbed forms of essential nutrients. Unique in this industry, EquiZen works with companies that manufacture raw ingredients in the USA.
Q: DOES EQUIZEN CONTAIN ANY PROHIBITED SUBSTANCES?
A: EquiZen never uses any banned or prohibited substances in our formulas. All EquiZen formulas are FEI and USEF compliant. EquiZen products are formulated using only amino acids, vitamins and minerals that are found naturally in every horse. We test each lot of raw materials to ensure purity, potency, and FEI compliance. See FEICleanSport, USEF or AQHA Guidelines to learn more.
