Environmental pollution causes all sorts of illness, including cancer.
Help Protect Your Horse from Damaging Environmental Toxins
Chronic illnesses in horses may largely be attributable to environmental and improper feed manufacturing processes
leading to high levels of toxic metal poisoning.
Toxic metals are widely used in industry, agriculture and food processing.
Toxic metals are also found in our air, water and food supply.

You may even be inadvertently feeding your horse feed that is laced with heavy metals.
Some commercial pet food and feed companies have heavy metal contamination in their products ... but don’t pull them from the market.
The name of the feeds are:

Contact us for an updated list of commercial feeds.
These contained varied levels of aluminum, mercury, cadmium and lead.
The one heavy metal that was found in all of them was aluminum and at much higher levels than the other metals.
Aluminum is particularly concentrated by cereal grains and alfalfa (a horse’s diet!).
The biggest problem is, toxic metals are largely overlooked in medical training and ignored in many textbooks of nutrition.
Some risk factors to consider when evaluating your horse for heavy metal poisoning are:
- Contaminated drinking water tainted with acid rain water
- Aluminum containers such as buckets and trash cans to store food
- Commercial feed products containing anti-caking agents
- Airborne Aluminum
- Effect of acid rain on soil that increases aluminum uptake in pastures
Routine blood tests cannot detect chronic heavy metal poisoning...
There is one analysis (one of the few methods) approved by the EPA for detecting toxic metals within the body.
Consider this:
- If your horse has a long-term condition that has defied diagnosis or correction by your veterinarian or other practitioner.
- His blood tests indicate normal blood levels in all categories
- All efforts to adjust his diet, supplements, medications and activity FAIL
Toxic metals can explain the cause of many illnesses and symptoms. Some of these symptoms may surprise you.
Some of the symptoms of heavy metal poisoning are …
- Ataxia
(Staggering, uncoordinated movement, zigzag movement of legs)
- Colic
(Upset stomach, abdominal pain)
- Gastroenteritis
(Inflammation of the digestive track. Results in diarrhea and colic.)
- Ulcers
(Erosion of the lining of the stomach)
- Laminitis
(inflammation of the sensitive plates of soft tissue [laminae] within the horse’s foot.)
- Weight Loss
- Allergies
(Inflammation from an external factor.)
- Depression
(Lethargic, sad)
- Mood Swings
(Feeling good, to feeling down. I’m sure you know what I mean.)
- Excitability
(Jumpy, movements are tense and quick. Not paying attention to task at hand.)
- Being unable to recover from stress
(Takes horse longer to feel 100% rested. Doesn’t snap back)

As a horse mom you know you have to help and protect your horse.
That’s exactly why we take that extra step and have added Metabolize Plus to every Horse Moms Life Stage Supplement.
Metabolize Plus promotes energy within the cells and detoxifies heavy metals from your horse’s body.
(No other company on the market adds this extra special ingredient.)
I’ll be right up front.
Including this extra ingredient adds an extra cost to the formulation but we wouldn’t be doing our job if we didn’t.
Here’s why.
You may not have realized it but with all the pollution in the environment people aren’t the only ones taking the brunt of the pollution. (Some cancer rates are on the rise and for the last 22 years research has shown a direct correlation between environmental exposure and good health.)
What’s worse… one of the heavy metals that does the most damage to your horse is listed by the Environmental Protection Agency as toxic BUT at the same time, it also happens to be allowed in food by the Federal Drug Administration.
What’s sad is your horse isn’t able to get rid of this heavy metal on their own. That means the small amounts that your horse is exposed to accumulates in their bodies over time. So much for our government bureaucracy at work!
I’m sure you’ve heard of it.
Its aluminum. Fact is, it’s a mineral but it’s also classified as a heavy metal too. It’s the same substance scientists have been concerned about for years.
Remember hearing about the research study evaluating the connection between deodorants (using aluminum) and Alzheimer’s?
Here’s the short list:
- When heavy metals like aluminum are present in your horse it throws your horse’s whole body chemistry out of balance.
(so it can’t protect and heal itself)
- Heavy metals push good minerals out of the body. The heavy metals actually take the place of the good minerals.
(Over time your horse’s body weakens allowing diseases and chronic illnesses to flourish.)
- A horse’s body cannot rid itself of the heavy metals by itself.
(Your horse needs your help.)
- Because the heavy metals are present the horse becomes less efficient in digesting and utilizing all the nutrients.
(That’s exactly why we took the extra step and made sure that Horse Moms Supplements have Metabolize Plus included in every formulation.)
Why Metabolize Plus?
- Metabolize Plus enhances the absorption of minerals in the chelation process.
That’s important because, it’s how a mineral attaches to another element to transport it through the bloodstream.
- Metabolize Plus creates a reaction in the stomach to enhance absorption of minerals.
It’s the most effective chelation agent that we have found that allows for better mineral absorption by your horse. AND we have spent hundreds of hours researching this very important issue!
- Metabolize Plus reduces chronic pain in muscles and soft tissues surrounding joints and tenderness at specific sites in the body by fighting fatigue and relaxing muscles.
When muscles are used to exhaustion, continually tense, or circulation is poor, a condition of hypoxia (lack of oxygen) develops. This inhibits the breakdown of glucose for energy, causing exhaustion and pain. Metabolize Plus breaks this cycle.
- Metabolize Plus increases cellular energy production by allowing the body to make ATP more efficiently, even under low oxygen conditions.
It is essential for converting sugars and fats into ATP (the body’s energy source).
- Metabolize Plus improves the blood pH balance limiting the negative effect of certain acids like lactic and uric acid. (It’s also Anti-Arthritic) The balance between alkaline and acid is important in many aspects of health. Acidity in the bloodstream is implicated in many inflammatory conditions in the body.
- Metabolize Plus is a powerful detoxifier of aluminum and helps in the chelation and removal of heavy metals.
Metabolize Plus means our supplements work where other supplements fail.
