Standard Process Introduces New Equine Supplements For Metabolic and Joint Stress

Equine Metabolic Support and Equine Mobility Support, clinically proven whole food supplements, address the rising concerns of metabolic and joint challenges.

PALMYRA, Wisconsin (December 6, 2008)–Standard Process Inc.^®, a Wisconsin-based manufacturer of nutritional whole food supplements, introduces Equine Metabolic Support and Equine Mobility Support at the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) convention in San Diego, Calif., December 6-10 (Booth 957). These safe, effective, nutritional whole food supplements are part of Standard Process' Veterinary Formulas product line (www.spequineformulas.com) and offer a unique approach to addressing metabolic challenges and joint health.

Equine Metabolic Support gives veterinarians and qualified equine professionals the ability to address equine metabolic challenges. It focuses on a number of metabolic processes from multiple perspectives to support healthy metabolism. Made from a unique combination of whole food ingredients, Equine Metabolic Support provides comprehensive support to the metabolic system through nutritional whole food support from vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients, each source specifically selected to support a particular aspect of metabolism.

"Horses are at an increasing risk for a variety of metabolic disorders related to overeating and lack of exercise," says David Barnes, Ph.D., product formulator. "Unfortunately, current interventions of exercise and calorie restriction alone are not always successful in supporting metabolic issues. Equine Metabolic Support offers new hope for equine patients with metabolic issues, as it targets metabolism from multiple angles to provide a comprehensive solution."

Equine Mobility Support, a distinctive supplement for promoting healthy joint function, flexibility and mobility, targets joints, muscles, and tendons to support agility, endurance, and performance in horses of all ages and activity levels. Its unique combination of ingredients supports joint and whole-body health, working synergistically to reduce discomfort, inflammation and lameness in horses.

In clinical evaluation, both Equine Metabolic Support and Equine Mobility Support demonstrated a positive effect on equine patients and were found to be highly palatable. Both products contain the same whole food ingredients used in Standard Process' supplements for people and are made on the same manufacturing lines, following current FDA Good Manufacturing Practices. Ingredients are tested six times on average to ensure quality and safety.

Standard Process equine formulas come in a 40-ounce container, equivalent to a one-month supply, and are available through veterinarians and qualified equine professionals. Visit the equine formulas website at www.spequineformulas.com for complete product details on Equine Metabolic Support and Equine Mobility Support. Also online, veterinarians and qualified equine professionals are invited to request a free Equine Nutrition Kit that contains complete product details, information about clinical evaluations, and product samples.
