Core Complete is Complete

Is your horse on any supplements?  Is he or she on three supplements? Six? Ten or more?  Do you find yourself frequently adding supplements because your horse’s hoof quality is poor, she has ulcer symptoms, his body condition lacks muscling, her skin is prone to infections, he ties up or is stiff and sore after working, she is constantly recovering from an injury, or he has a hard time focusing during training and competition?

These issues are signs of nutritional deficiencies. Many issues resolve once your horse is on a solid daily nutritional foundation. This foundation must include everything horses need daily to maintain and repair ALL of their body systems – and this foundation is not adequately provided by the majority of fortified feeds or by a forage-based diet.     

What if you could feed just ONE supplement that eliminated the need for most other supplements?

That supplement is Core Complete. Complete is formulated to provide EVERYTHING your horse needs EVERY day. 

What DO horses need EVERY DAY?

• Essential amino acids:  These key nutrients cannot be made by your horse’s body – they MUST be fed.  They are critical for:
• Healthy feet, tendons, ligaments, and skin
• Immune system strength
• Gut health, including protection from ulcers
• Mobilization of energy for speed, strength, and endurance
• Maximum exercise capacity and rapid exercise recovery through support of blood flow to muscles and lungs
• Optimum focus, learning capacity, memory, and mood

• Bioavailable trace minerals: These key minerals – especially copper, zinc, manganese, and cobalt – work in synergy with amino acids to support:
• Strength, elasticity, and repairs of skin, tendons, ligaments, bones, and muscles
• Formation of cartilage and internal foot structures
• Mobilization of energy to fuel exercise and tissue repairs
• Prompt and competent activation of the immune system
• Creation of the red blood cells that deliver oxygen and support endurance
• Protection of muscles, joints, and the gut from inflammation

• B vitamins:  These important vitamins work with amino acids and trace minerals to support:
• Energy mobilization, allowing the use of carbohydrates and fats as energy sources
• Red blood cell formation, the crucial cells that carry oxygen to all body tissues, including the lungs and muscles

• Gut support: The most delicate system in the horse’s body is the gastrointestinal tract; this system is especially vulnerable to damage when the horse is in intensive training or working hard.  Core Complete targets gut health with ingredients that:
• Optimize small intestine nutrient absorption
• Minimize entry of undigested starches/sugars into the hindgut where they can cause discomfort, excess gas, and risk for colic
• Support formation of a robust mucus barrier to protect the stomach and small intestine from excess acid that causes discomfort and results in ulcers
• Decrease gut inflammation and protect from the development of stress-induced “leaky” gut
• Provide nutrients to support desirable flora that digest efficiently
• Protect the gut from undesirable organisms that can initiate and maintain ulcers
• Bind toxins

• Joint Support:  Protecting joints is critical in the performance horse to maintain performance at the highest levels and to maximize length of working career by preventing cumulative joint damage.  Core Complete contains joint-focused ingredients that:
• Decrease exercise-induced inflammation
• Support joint mobility
• Improve gait smoothness and stride length
• Provide raw materials for collagen, a key component of tendons, ligaments, and cartilage
• Support synthesis, maintenance, and repair of tendons, ligaments, and cartilage

The Bottom Line

To get to the nutrient levels provided by Core Complete using individual supplements, horses would have to be fed:

• Hoof supplement or a trace mineral supplement
• B vitamin supplement
• Amino acid supplement
• One or more gut supplements
• One or more joint supplements

On Core Complete, horses DO NOT NEED a hoof or trace mineral supplement, a B vitamin supplement, or an amino acid supplement because Core Complete already contains these nutrients. In addition, the joint support and gut support in Core Complete is sufficient for many horses.  If your horse needs deeper support in these areas, then please see our joint products Core Motion and Core Motion Plus and we will soon be releasing an exciting new gut product.
