Backed with University Research

A recent university study explored the effects of supplementing ponies with MetaStable. The randomized trial involved 38 Welsh ponies with equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) and a history of laminitis risk. Over a 60-day period, ponies in the supplement group showed measurable improvements compared to the control group.

 

Key Findings:

  • Ponies receiving the supplement experienced greater weight loss compared to the control group.
  • The supplement group demonstrated a significant reduction in post-meal insulin levels, suggesting improved insulin regulation.


These results highlight that a supplement containing leucine, vitamin B6, and resveratrol, when combined with appropriate diet and exercise, can support ponies with EMS and metabolic challenges.

Signs your horse may have insulin resistance

Identifying insulin resistance in horses early is essential for effective management and supporting their overall health. While PPID can’t be cured, recognizing the signs allows for timely interventions to help affected horses live more comfortably.

 

Early signs to watch for include:

  • Reduced energy or a change in attitude
  • Sluggish performance or exercise intolerance
  • Delayed shedding or patchy coat changes
  • Muscle loss along the topline (prominent spine or withers)
  • Fat deposits in specific areas like the neck crest or tail head
  • Tender feet or signs of laminitis


As the condition progresses, horses may develop excessive hair growth, lose seasonal shedding patterns, and show a rounded abdomen or abnormal sweating.

 

Products like MetaStable are designed to support metabolic health, muscle condition, and overall well-being in horses showing these signs. Partnering with your veterinarian and implementing a tailored management plan can make a meaningful difference in helping your horse feel its best.

Veri-te™  Resveratrol

Veri-te™ Resveratrol is a highly pure form of resveratrol, sourced through a patented fermentation process in Europe. It supports overall metabolic health and is gentle on the digestive system when compared to other resveratrols, making it an excellent choice for horses with sensitive stomachs.

Leucine

Leucine is an essential amino acid that plays a key role in supporting healthy blood sugar regulation. It helps stimulate insulin release and promotes glucose uptake into muscle cells, aiding in energy balance and overall metabolic function.

Pyridoxine

Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) contributes to energy metabolism and overall wellness. It supports healthy metabolic processes and helps horses maintain consistent energy levels.

Are you feeding your horse the most effective resveratrol?

It’s no secret that resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant with multi-faceted benefits—which is why we included it in our advanced formulation. Resveratrol helps regulate blood sugar levels by improving insulin sensitivity, reducing oxidative stress, and supporting healthy glucose metabolism. These benefits make it an excellent addition to our product for promoting overall health and wellness.

 

Not all resveratrols are created equal—which is why MetaStable is made with premium Veri-te™ Pets Resveratrol. Many sources of resveratrol in other supplements are derived from Japanese Knotweed roots. The problem is that this source is often contaminated with pesticides and, most importantly, emodin. Emodin can cause gastrointestinal upset over time—specifically diarrhea—which is the last thing we want for horses.

 

In contrast, Veri-te™ Resveratrol is produced using a patented, proprietary yeast fermentation process in Europe. This innovative method yields exceptionally pure (>98%) resveratrol, free from microcontaminants, ensuring it is gentle on the gut while delivering all the powerful benefits resveratrol has to offer.

Make MetaStable a part of your horse's daily routine

MetaStable comes in highly palatable, rice bran-based pellets that horses love, making it easy to add to their daily feeding routine. Produced in-house in Colorado to strict quality standards, MetaStable delivers consistent, reliable support for metabolic health. With research-backed ingredients like Veri-te™ Resveratrol, leucine, and pyridoxine, it helps maintain healthy glucose levels, promote weight management, and support overall well-being—without any fuss at mealtime.

My mini is actually eating it daily!

I had mini on Smart Metabolean from SmartPak and mini did NOT like it fumbling thru the balancer pellets to avoid eating the Metabolean pellets! I switched to Formula 77 Metastable and mini gobbling it all up and she may have lost a little weight since starting @ 3 weeks ago amazing with grass sprouting up although she is grass grazing muzzled while out.

Early results

I am hoping formula 707 will help my paso mare escape a 5th year of laminitis. Always at same time, getting worse each year. Confined to dry paddock, feeding same diet all year, tried several supplements each year with no results.
Fingers crossed, only signs observed in 20 days is a improved coat, easier shedding.

I see results

I have two mini's and a pony on this supplement. On my second bag. All of them are metabolism-challenged. I see a little more life in them. Hair coats are a bit better. They eat it readily with their nightly feed. It can be a bit dusty, however. But mine get a Vitamin E oil supplement so that helps.

It works

This is a good supplement and I can definitely see the difference in my mare. She’s not holding onto the excess weight like she was before. Still… the price is so high for such a small bag. I’m not sure we would purchase again

FAQs

Which conditions does MetaStable help with? 

MetaStable is formulated to support metabolic health, particularly in horses with insulin resistance (IR) and Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS). It may help horses struggling with:

 

Insulin Resistance & Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS): Supports insulin regulation and weight management, key factors in metabolic health.

 

Obesity & Fat Deposits: Aids in reducing excess weight and regional fat accumulation (such as a cresty neck).

 

Laminitis Risk Management: Helps balance metabolism, which may reduce the risk of pasture-associated laminitis.

 

Easy Keepers: Ideal for horses prone to weight gain and metabolic imbalances. 

Does MetaStable help with Cushing’s (PPID)? 

MetaStable does not target Cushing’s disease (PPID) directly, as Cushing’s is caused by dysfunction in the pituitary gland rather than insulin resistance alone. However, many horses with PPID also develop insulin dysregulation, in which case MetaStable may help support metabolic balance when used alongside veterinary treatment. 

Does MetaStable help with PSSM (Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy)? 

MetaStable is not designed to address PSSM 1 or PSSM 2, as these conditions involve muscle metabolism and glycogen storage disorders rather than insulin resistance. PSSM horses require strict diet and exercise management, with a focus on controlled starch intake and increased fat in the diet. If your horse has PSSM but also struggles with metabolic issues, consult your veterinarian to determine if MetaStable is a good fit. 

Can donkeys and mules be fed MetaStable? 

Yes! Donkeys and mules can safely take MetaStable. 

What are the dosing requirements for MetaStable?

Horses 1,100 lbs or less: Feed 1 scoop per day.

Horses over 1,100 lbs: Feed 2 scoops per day. 

Is MetaStable palatable? What should I do if my horse doesn’t like it? 

Yes! MetaStable is highly palatable, with a rice bran base that most horses enjoy. However, if your horse is particularly picky, we recommend avoiding binders that contain added sugars. Start with a small amount and gradually increase it over time. If you need a binder, opt for a fat-based option like Formula 707 Glo-N-Go. 

Can I use MetaStable alongside Formula 707 Hoof Health?

Yes! MetaStable and Hoof Health are the perfect pairing, especially for horses that have had a history of foundering and are needing long term support and quality hoof growth. 

Will MetaStable prevent my horse from foundering? 

MetaStable is designed to support metabolic health, which can help reduce the risk factors associated with laminitis (founder). The university study on its key ingredients showed that ponies in the supplement group lost more weight than those in the placebo group - a critical factor in managing metabolic health and reducing laminitis risk. However, no supplement can guarantee that a horse will never founder. Proper management - including a low-sugar, forage-based diet, regular exercise, and veterinary oversight - is crucial in prevention. MetaStable is a valuable tool in a comprehensive approach to metabolic health, but it should always be used alongside good management practices for the best results. 

Does my horse need to take MetaStable forever?

MetaStable is designed for ongoing metabolic support, especially for horses with insulin resistance or other metabolic concerns. Since these conditions are typically lifelong, long-term management is key to maintaining your horse’s health. While some horses may show improvement over time, discontinuing MetaStable could mean losing its benefits. We recommend working with your veterinarian to monitor your horse’s condition and determine the best long-term plan. 

Can you give to a horse that has not been diagnosed with a form of insulin resistance? 

Yes! While MetaStable is specifically formulated for horses with metabolic concerns, it can also be used as preventative support for horses at risk of developing insulin resistance. The study on its key ingredients showed improvements in insulin regulation and weight management, which are essential for overall metabolic health.

If your horse is an easy keeper, prone to fat deposits, or has a history of laminitis, MetaStable may help maintain healthy metabolism. However, if your horse does not have any metabolic concerns, it may not be necessary. We recommend consulting your veterinarian to determine if it’s the right fit for your horse’s specific needs. 

How long does it take before I notice results after starting to feed MetaStable?

Every horse is different, but most owners can expect to see noticeable improvements within a few weeks. In the university study, ponies showed significant results within 30-60 days, but many horses and ponies may respond even sooner. Factors such as diet, exercise, and overall management can also impact how quickly you see changes. For best results, feed MetaStable consistently as part of a balanced, low-sugar diet. 

What results should I expect to see first? 

The first noticeable changes may include improved weight management and a reduction in fat deposits, particularly in areas prone to metabolic fat accumulation, such as the crest of the neck. The university study on MetaStable’s key ingredients showed that ponies in the supplement group lost more weight than those in the placebo group.

Over time, you may also see improvements in energy levels, overall body condition, and metabolic stability, particularly in how your horse responds to feed. Horses with insulin dysregulation may begin showing lower insulin spikes after meals within a few weeks, with more significant improvements typically seen around 30 to 60 days.

Since every horse is different, we recommend consistent feeding and monitoring, along with a low-sugar, forage-first diet for the best results. 

Will MetaStable prevent future metabolic issues if I suspect my horse is at risk? 

MetaStable is designed to support metabolic health and may help reduce risk factors associated with insulin resistance and other metabolic issues. While no supplement can guarantee prevention, feeding MetaStable alongside a low-sugar, forage-first diet and proper management can help support healthy metabolism and reduce the likelihood of future problems. If you suspect your horse is at risk, working closely with your veterinarian to monitor diet, exercise, and overall health is the best approach. 

Is MetaStable show safe?

Yes, MetaStable is show safe and does not contain any ingredients prohibited by major equestrian governing bodiesI. However, we always recommend checking with your specific competition organization if you have any concerns. 

What should I feed alongside MetaStable? 

MetaStable works best as part of a balanced, low-sugar, forage-first diet. We recommend feeding high-quality hay that is low in non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) to support metabolic health. Since MetaStable is not a complete feed or ration balancer, pairing it with a vitamin and mineral supplement - such as Formula 707 Daily Essentials - helps ensure your horse receives all essential nutrients. Always consult with your veterinarian or equine nutritionist to create the best feeding plan for your horse. 

How is MetaStable different from supplements containing chromium?

Unlike some supplements that rely on chromium, which can cause gastrointestinal upset in certain horses, MetaStable uses leucine, pyridoxine (vitamin B6), and Veri-te™ resveratrol. These ingredients are not only effective in supporting metabolic health but are also gentle on the digestive system, making MetaStable a more stomach-friendly option for horses with metabolic challenges. 

Why does the university study on MetaStable matter?

University research adds a layer of credibility by providing scientific validation of MetaStable’s effectiveness. It ensures the product has been tested using objective methods, giving you confidence that it truly supports metabolic health.  

Can my horse take MetaStable with Prascend or other medications?

Yes, MetaStable can be fed alongside Prascend (pergolide) and other medications commonly used for metabolic conditions. It is designed to support metabolic health through nutrition and does not interfere with medications. However, every horse is different, and we always recommend consulting your veterinarian before adding any supplement to your horse’s regimen, especially if they are on prescription medications. 

Can you share the full MetaStable study with me?

We’re excited about the progress we’ve made and truly appreciate your interest in our work. While we’re not sharing the white paper just yet, as our partners at the University of Arizona are finalizing it for publication and peer review, we’re eager to share our success with you.

Our study has yielded promising insights, and we’re looking forward to making the full findings available once the review process is complete. We’d be happy to keep you updated and let you know as soon as the paper is published.

Thanks again for your support, and we look forward to sharing more with you soon!
