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.

Visible results !!!

My mare has been on Thyrol-L for a year. Since introducing Metastable, I have gradually decreased the Thyro-L and she is now on only the Metastable. It is too soon to see long term changes, but so far she is slimmer and doing great. She eats it well with her evening pellets as well so easy to treat her EMS.

6in 1 joint

I had a mare that is 27. She cracked when she walked and very slow and mopey. We decided to give 6in 1 joint a try and within a week we saw a big difference in her! She was now running around with the herd and is so much happier! Since then we have started several other horses on it and have had great success! Some took a little longer to show results but they too now are moving much better!

Metastable works!

My quarter horse developed EMS and between diet modifications and supplements she has done better. She continued to have a cresty neck that went from her withers to her pole and it was hard. I received a trial with this product and I am very happy. She will continue on it. Her neck had softened dramatically and the hump has decreased by 40% in one month. I hope you can tell it in the pics. She also has a non- healing wound which has now resolved and the hair is starting to grow back. I have tried just about every product on the market with slight improvement but this product had performed the best for her. I will continue using it.

MetaStable Pellets

I was fortunate to be selected to try the 40 day trial of the MetaStable pellets with my Quarter Horse gelding that has metabolic issues. I did have his diet under control before starting the MetaStable trial, but I have seen results with the supplement. The remaining fat deposits he had on his neck have diminished, his hooves are now healthier than ever, and he has started shedding earlier than usual. I will continue to keep my boy on this supplement, because I truly believe it works.

Great Product!!!

We have a mare that is metabolic and has chronic founder from it. She has been lame for quite some time, it’s worse sometimes more than others.
We put her on MetaStable for 40 days. We did labs right before and right after. Although it didn’t help her soundness issues, her labs changed for the better and we are thrilled with their results.
Our mare found the pellets to be delicious and never refused to eat them.
We recommend MetaStable for any horse that needs to balance their metabolic system.

Lab results show his improvement!

It’s hard to tell by his outward appearance - we’re having our “winter” here in California which means 75° days followed by a week of 45° nights & what confusion this creates for a horse’s coat. Spirit has lab results from before starting Metastable and after approx a month of the supplement. To be transparent, he also just started a 707 multi supplement & 1 g Pergolide. But the results are really positive. I hope to share his progress again in a few months!

PARTICIPANT IN TEST

The folks at 707 kindly allowed me to participate in a test of the Metastable product. I gave it to my pre-metabolic horse for 35 days, per suggested dose. In the 35 days the horse did lose some weight, particularly in the "fat pocket" areas around the shoulders and in the tail pad area. However, I did not have another metabolic test done at the end of the 35 days. I did notice that he had an increase in appetite. He seemed to be very hungry, in general. He would snack on grasses while being ridden (not a typical behavior for him) and was more aggressive with his pasture mates at feeding time. I didn't feed him additional food, and he did lose weight. I will see what happens when the supplement is discontinued. Many thanks for the product developers at 707 for providing the
product for the test.

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!
