The following Blog has been written by NAF.The cold, dark days of winter bring their challenges for all horses and their owners. And it seems that this year will be harder than ever. Whether its concerns over forage supply and its quality, or tackling what another potentially warmer and wetter winter will do to our fields, it seems the challenges are all around.To face whatever comes our way, make sure all our horses and ponies are in the Metazone this season. Comfort starts within, supplementing their defences with this unique nutraceutical.Metazone is formulated specifically to support the horses anti-inflammatory responses throughout the body.NAF Metazone Five Star PowderYour Customer Questions AnsweredNEW TRIAL SIZE!Your Customer Questions AnsweredQ. What exactly is Metazone, and what does it do?Metazone is our unique new formula, to support the bodys own natural anti-inflammatory pathways. Those pathways are an essential part of your horses response to any attack. The inflammatory pathway initiates and speeds your horses responses. However, byproducts such as free radical toxins can proliferate, along with the fluid accumulation in the early stages, so their internal pathway needs to be able to clear the area and flush out toxins before long term health and stability can be restored.This is where Metazone comes in. Five Star Metazone harnesses powerful phytochemicals those active constituents found in key botanical herbs and roots to work with your horse to support their own anti-inflammatory pathway, wherever that is required.Metazone is simple and easy to feed, and also comes in liquid form.NAF Metazone Five Star LiquidQ: Has Metazone been trialed?Yes, Metazone has been fully researched. Unfortunately, due to legal Marketing restrictions on feed, which includes feed supplements like Metazone, we are not able to fully share results, or the details of the trial.However, we are happy to confirm that Metazone was independently tested in post-graduate research by the experts at The Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester. The research centered on sound horses in regular work, with the only change to their management being the addition of Metazone. Video gait analysis was assessed by independent vets who were blinded to the stage of each video. The results were peer reviewed and presented at the European Workshop on Equine Nutrition, at their bi-annual congress in 2024.For those who compete, Metazone is formulated to be competition safe with no withdrawal time, which means it can be fed every day or as needed to keep your horse in the zone.NAF Metazone Five Star SyringeQ: As it helps with gaits, is Metazone just for joint health?Not necessarily. Whilst the trial looked at stride characteristics, as a useful way to gain quantitative (measurable) data, Metazone is not designed as a joint product only. Rather Metazone can be used whenever horses need that additional support response to challenge; or as a stand-alone product in horses with specific needs.Metazone is particularly useful short-term alongside their current supplement regime. Fed at times of peak requirement, working in synergy with their daily supplements which feeds growth, repair and integrity.Metazone is designed to work effectively without compromising gut health and can be fed alongside any otherNAFproduct.Key Information About MetazoneMetazone optimises:Clear breathingJoint MobilityMuscle RecoveryEffective DigestionSkin Resilience(Feed as part of your current supplement regime).NEW TRIAL SIZE!Our new 500ml size is not only the ideal choice for a trial, but also a really handy size to pop in the lorry to help with the peak requirements of travel and competition.Reference: Hedges.
