Can support weight loss, normal insulin & blood sugar levels as part of a balanced diet.

Ideal for use if your horse

• Is on restricted forage or bare/strip grazing
• Has excess fat deposits/cresty neck
• Is a natural good doer & needs weight management 
• Is sensitive to dietary/grass sugars or has sensitive laminae
• Is prone to metabolic challenges
• Can be lethargic and/or has a dull coat

What makes UltraMet different?

Weight management needs to include gut health. Horses on restricted forage lose access to the natural variety of plant fibres that support hindgut microbiome diversity. Over time, this can influence digestion, behaviour and metabolic stability. UltraMet is built for these situations: it supports normal metabolic function, helps maintain digestive comfort (through prebiotic and mucilage forming fibres which contribute to a soothing, gel like coating in the digestive tract) and backs the body’s healthy inflammatory response through carefully selected nutrients. 

UltraMet contains:

• Mineral & Vitamin Matrix – providing essential micronutrients without excess calories, ideal for easy-doing or restricted-forage horses.

• Prebiotic Fibre Blend – delivering diverse plant prebiotics to support hindgut nutrient extraction and microbial balance.

• Natural Antioxidant Complex – rich in natural vitamin E & grapeseed (1500iu in one daily serve), polyphenols and trace minerals to help maintain oxidative balance and tissue resilience. Antioxidants help support normal regulation of insulin levels.

• Metabolic Cofactor Complex – providing key nutrients including copper, B vitamins and choline for normal enzyme function in metabolic pathways. Supporting efficient metabolism, healthy energy use and normal body condition

• Alfalfa-Free Formulation – specifically tailored for laminae-sensitive equines requiring careful forage and calorie control.

When to use

For prone individuals under stress or when your horse or pony is on restricted forage/hay only diet to ensure they are receiving key vitamins and minerals typically lacking in those diets. Supports their hindgut health (a source of many metabolic issues) with a variety of natural prebiotic fibres to feed the microbiome and ensure optimal postbiotic production.

FAQ’s

Customer FAQ's (just ask if your question isn't answered here!)

Is UltraMet suitable for horses & ponies with laminitis and EMS? - Yes, UltraMet is specifically designed to support healthy metabolism and insulin levels as well as hindgut health in horses on restricted forage diets or those on weight management plans.

Is UltraMet a weight loss supplement? - UltraMet is designed to support a weight management plan and healthy metabolism (which is involved in weight loss) but feeding UltraMet will not cause weight loss.
