Terms & Conditions
GlucoGard® from St. Hippolyt is a concentrated nutritional supplement developed for horses with metabolic imbalances and for overweight horses requiring specific support for sugar and insulin regulation. The product is designed to complement a low carbohydrate ration and contribute to a stable and well functioning metabolism.
Many horses that are genetically adapted to sparse nutritional conditions are negatively affected by energy rich feeding, large amounts of concentrate feed or unrestricted access to grass. In combination with limited exercise, this may place strain on carbohydrate metabolism and disrupt insulin balance. At the same time, a ration based solely on forage and straw often fails to meet the requirement for essential micronutrients.
GlucoGard® provides a balanced spectrum of organically bound minerals, natural vitamins and functional plant based nutrients. Nutrients derived from brewer’s yeast, including B vitamins and trivalent chromium, work together with magnesium, zinc and manganese to support normal sugar and insulin metabolism. Vitamin E and selenium help protect cells against oxidative stress, which is particularly important in horses experiencing metabolic strain.
The formula also contains protective plant compounds that naturally support the body’s regulatory mechanisms. A well functioning hoof complex is closely linked to a stable metabolism, making GlucoGard® a relevant supplement to support hoof health in overweight horses or horses with metabolic challenges.

Feeding recommendation
In cases of acute metabolic problems: approximately 45 g per 100 kg bodyweight daily. May be dissolved in water and administered by oral syringe.
To support metabolism and the hoof complex during critical weather or grazing conditions: approximately 20 g per 100 kg bodyweight daily until the desired weight is achieved. May be fed long term in cases of impaired insulin function.
Please note: This complementary feed contains higher levels of vitamins and minerals than standard complementary feeds and must not exceed 3 percent of the total daily ration including forage. Please follow the feeding recommendation carefully.
