Product Info
Veteran Hormone Support™ is formulated to support the nutritional needs, healthy circulation and the immune system of veteran horses.
Veteran horses often have compromised immune systems due to age-related changes, making them more susceptible to infections, slower to recover, and more sensitive to environmental stressors.
Less regular exercise and aging, stiffer arteries can contribute to reduced circulation and can significantly impact the immune system in older horses. Immune cells, nutrients, and signalling molecules rely on the bloodstream to reach tissues where they’re needed.
This nutritional equine supplement is soya free and formulated with anti-inflammatories and key ingredients that support circulation, coat shedding & immune health including L-Arginine, Agnus Castus (Chaste Tree Berry), Rosehip, Echinacea & Inulin.
Use as part of a long-term feeding plan.
Agnus Castus (Chaste Tree Berry)
Agnus Castus is ideal for horses with hormonal imbalances. It works by influencing the pituitary gland, which regulates the production of hormones like progesterone and prolactin.
Rosehip Powder
Rosehips are high in antioxidants which can help with oxidative stress, protecting cells, organs and tissues. Rosehips are also rich in Vitamin C which benefits the immune system and overall health.
L-Arginine
L-Arginine is converted in the body into nitric oxide. Nitric oxide causes blood vessels to open wider for improved blood flow. L-arginine also stimulates the release of certain hormones, including insulin.
Echinacea
Echinacea has immune boosting, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. As horses age, their immune system often has a slower response. Echinacea helps stimulate immune cells which can help boost the horses ability to fight off bacteria, viruses & other pathogens, especially during seasonal changes, stress or recovery from illness.
Inulin Prebiotic
Aging leads to a reduction in beneficial bacteria (like Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria) and sometimes an increase in less favourable microbes. This imbalance can impair digestion and immune regulation. Inulin selectively encourages certain beneficial bacteria in the gut and in turn, supports the immune system through gut health.
FAQ’s
My veteran horse struggles to shed his coat, will this help?
Delayed shedding can be caused by hormonal imbalances, feeding a supplement with Agnus Castus may help your horse shed his coat more effectively. Agnus Castus can influence the pituitary gland and help regulate hormones.
How long should my horse stay on Veteran Hormone Support™?
We recommend you use Veteran Hormone Support™ as part of a long-term feeding plan to see the most benefit. Seasonal, grass and routine changes (more limited turnout in winter and a change in forage) can upset the gut. Inulin Prebiotic helps nourish beneficial microbes in the hind gut, acting as a food source for essential probiotics this in turn supports gut health & fibre digestibility.
Speak with your vet speak before feeding Veteran Hormone Support™ if your horse is on Pergolide as Chaste Agnus Catsus (Chaste Tree Berry) is purported to decrease its efficacy.
Should I split the daily amount over two feeds?
It is recommended that your horse has its maintenance amount in one feed, so for a 500kg horse, you need to use 1 scoop into one feed and for a 600kg horse, 2 scoops into one feed. Do not split the maintenance dose into two feeds. 2 scoops per day = 2 scoops in one feed.
For loading doses (the first 3-5 days of feeding), you need to use the required dosage into two separate feeds (morning & evening).
I’m not sure my horse will eat it?
Palatability samples are available on our website, so that you can ensure your horse is happy to eat it.
