What is the history behind Standard Process?
Standard Process was founded in 1929 by Royal Lee, DDS. The company is a leader in the manufacture of nutritional whole food supplements and has a successful track record of supporting health care professionals. After strong demand from veterinary practitioners for its nutritional whole food supplements, Standard Process created Standard Process Veterinary Formulas exclusively for dogs and cats, and sold through veterinarians. The formulas contain unique combinations of whole foods (whole plants, animal tissue extracts, botanicals) that contain essential vitamins, phytonutrients, and minerals. These supplements help replace the nutrients lost in processed foods. Learn More

How does Equine Metabolic Support address metabolic challenges?
Equine Metabolic Support addresses a number of metabolic processes (predominantly glucose and insulin related) from multiple perspectives. While the exact mode of action is not known for certain, there is substantial evidence for benefit associated with the majority of its ingredients. Equine observation has disclosed significant impact on some important clinical measures of metabolic challenges. Anecdotal information from owners and veterinarians indicates that Equine Metabolic Support improves phenotype and quality of life in treated animals.
Additional benefits include:
- Anti-inflammatory support from green tea extract
- Broad nutritional support (amino acids, vitamins, antioxidants, minerals)
- Weight management support
- Support of vascular integrity
- High palatability
- Contains predominantly food-based ingredients
- No known side effects
(top)
What is Equine Metabolic Support made from?
This whole food supplement contains ingredients that address both sides of the insulin – glucose equation and provide broad nutritional support. We use the same high quality ingredients in our equine formulas as we do in our human formulas.
(top)
How is Equine Metabolic Support different from other metabolic supplements?
Metabolism is complex and the underlying dysfunction is also likely to be complex. Equine Metabolic Support addresses metabolic challenges from multiple angles. That is, the unique combination of ingredients works on overlapping or complementary pathways, enabling you to offer horse owners a more complex solution.
The product contains a unique mix of ingredients that deliver whole food nutrition. Our production process—involving unique methods of farming, manufacturing, quality control, and R&D—preserves the highest level of nutrient integrity. This process results in high quality nutrients with exceptional potency and efficacy.

What is Equine Mobility Support made from?
Equine Mobility Support includes glucosamine and small molecule-sized chondroitin for greater availability and absorption by the horse, as well as additional ingredients that target inflammation, promote palatability, and act as antioxidants. Each ingredient is included for a specific effect, and together they work in a coordinated manner to support joint health. It does not contain any binders or fillers. We use the same high quality ingredients in our equine formulas as we do in our human formulas.
(top)
What are the benefits of Equine Mobility Support?
Equine Mobility Support is beneficial for all classes of horses, especially active horses. It helps by:
- Promoting healthy joint function, flexibility, and mobility
- Reducing discomfort, inflammation, and lameness
- Supporting the repair of joints
- Supplying antioxidants to help protect against free radical damage
(top)
How is Equine Mobility Support different from other joint supplements?
Equine Mobility Support contains a unique combination of ingredients that work together in a coordinated and systemic manner. We manufacture it using the same process as our human health products. Our production process—involving unique methods of farming, manufacturing, quality control, and R&D—preserves the highest level of nutrient integrity. This process results in highly bioavailable nutrients with exceptional, purity, potency, and efficacy.

What did Standard Process evaluate in the trials?
To determine the effects of Equine Metabolic Support, clinical evaluations were conducted under the direction of a veterinarian. Twenty-nine horses were identified with elevated insulin, which can be associated with challenges to the metabolic system.
(top)
What were the results of the trials?
Twenty (20) animals had decreased fasting insulin levels and 3 animals had increased circulating insulin levels. Over the course of treatment, six animals had variable responses in insulin levels. The attending veterinarians found value in the product with significant perceived benefits to the animal. The product has been found to be safe and palatable. This study contained no control group and represents the observations and measurements of insulin levels and blood glucose levels by the attending veterinarians.

Where can I get complete trial information?

(top)
What did Standard Process evaluate in the trials?
Equine Mobility Support underwent two observational trials to examine lameness and determine whether product efficacy could be observed and evaluated. The veterinarian supervising the trials evaluated horses representing different breeds, ages, and gender prior to initiating the study to define their lameness. Animals having a spavin score of greater than 1 in a leg joint were recruited. The second evaluation included more active horses—Dressage, Endurance, Jumping, Therapy—likely to exhibit different stress symptoms/indicators on their limbs.
(top)
What were the results of the trials?
In the initial trial, with one exception, all horses showed improvement of aggregate spavin score (total for all limbs) by 30 days. At 60 days, all horses showed continued improvement. There were no actionable changes in blood chemistries. Subjective comments from the trainers involved indicated many animals showed much greater range of motion, although this wasn’t measured directly. Results from the follow-up evaluation supported findings from the initial evaluation.
These studies contained no control group and represent the observations and measurements by the attending veterinarian.
