Horse Cushings & Metabolic Support Supplements
Horse Cushing's & Metabolic Support Supplements: Nutritional Support for PPID & EMS
Cushing's disease (PPID — Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction) and Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) are among the most common hormonal and metabolic conditions affecting horses and ponies in the UK, particularly in older animals and native breeds. Both conditions require careful management — typically combining veterinary diagnosis and prescribed medication with strict dietary control and appropriate exercise — and targeted nutritional supplements can play a valuable supporting role alongside that management plan.
At Horseworld, we stock a range of horse Cushing's and metabolic support supplements formulated to complement the dietary and veterinary management of horses with PPID and EMS. These supplements are designed to work alongside prescribed medication and a low-sugar, low-starch diet — not to replace veterinary treatment. If you suspect your horse may have Cushing's or EMS, always consult your vet for diagnosis and a management plan before introducing supplements.
Key considerations for Cushing's and metabolic support supplementation:
- Supports PPID management — nutritional support formulated to complement the veterinary management of horses diagnosed with Cushing's disease (PPID)
- EMS & insulin dysregulation support — supplements designed to support metabolic health and insulin sensitivity in horses and ponies with EMS
- Works alongside veterinary treatment — designed to complement prescribed medication and dietary management, not to replace veterinary diagnosis or treatment
- Low-sugar & low-starch formulations — supplements formulated to be appropriate for horses on the restricted diet required for metabolic condition management
- Always consult your vet first — PPID and EMS require veterinary diagnosis and a tailored management plan; supplements should be introduced as part of that plan
