A Complete Approach to Equine Metabolic Health

Metabolic health involves several interconnected processes within the horse's body.

These include insulin regulation, glucose metabolism, fat storage, digestive function and normal inflammatory responses.

Kelato PROTEK MD has been developed to support these processes through five key nutritional mechanisms.

1. Healthy Insulin & Glucose Regulation

Maintaining normal insulin and glucose function is important for metabolic health.

PROTEK MD contains chromium, magnesium and Vitamin B2, nutrients involved in normal metabolic processes.

The formula is designed to support healthy insulin function, glucose utilisation and appetite regulation.

2. Healthy Weight Management

Excess body condition and abnormal fat distribution can be concerns for some horses and ponies.

PROTEK MD provides nutritional support for normal fat metabolism and appetite regulation.

Its combination of chromium, magnesium and tryptophan is designed to complement an appropriate weight-management program.

For best results, supplementation should be combined with a suitable forage-based diet, controlled energy intake and exercise where appropriate.

3. Normal Inflammatory Balance

Maintaining a healthy inflammatory response is important for normal movement, hoof comfort and general wellbeing.

PROTEK MD contains a specialised polyphenol blend designed to support the body's normal inflammatory balance.

This provides nutritional support for horses requiring additional attention to metabolic and hoof health.

4. Antioxidant Defence

Normal metabolism produces free radicals that can contribute to oxidative stress.

PROTEK MD provides naturally occurring antioxidant compounds to support normal cellular protection.

Its antioxidant ingredients include:

• Curcumin
• Quercetin
• Anthocyanins
• Gallic Acid
• Chlorogenic Acid
• Vitamin B2

These ingredients provide nutritional support against everyday oxidative stress.

5. Gut Health & Digestive Support

The digestive system plays an important role in nutrient utilisation and overall metabolic wellbeing.

PROTEK MD contains a specialised Tribiotic system, combining prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics.

This formulation is designed to support:

• Healthy gut microbiome balance
• Normal digestive function
• Gut barrier integrity
• Beneficial intestinal microorganisms
• Overall digestive wellbeing

Advanced Polyphenol Blend

PROTEK MD contains a proprietary blend of plant-derived polyphenols.

Curcumin

A naturally occurring compound found in turmeric, included for its antioxidant properties and role in supporting normal inflammatory balance.

Quercetin

A plant flavonoid with antioxidant properties that contributes to the formula's cellular-support profile.

Anthocyanins

Naturally occurring plant pigments known for their antioxidant activity.

Gallic Acid

A plant-derived polyphenol included as part of the antioxidant blend.

Chlorogenic Acid

A naturally occurring polyphenol that contributes to the product's antioxidant and metabolic-support formulation.

Tribiotic Digestive Support

Kelato PROTEK MD contains a combination of digestive-support ingredients.

Prebiotics: Help support beneficial microorganisms within the digestive system.

Probiotics: Provide selected beneficial live microorganisms.

Postbiotics: Provide microbial-derived compounds that contribute to the formulation's digestive-support approach.

The formula includes Levucell SB®, a live yeast probiotic containing Saccharomyces boulardii strain I-1079.

Magnesium, Chromium & Vitamin B2

PROTEK MD includes nutrients that contribute to normal metabolic function.

Magnesium: Involved in numerous enzyme systems and normal muscle and metabolic function.

Chromium: Included to support normal glucose and insulin metabolism.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): Plays an important role in energy metabolism and normal cellular processes.

Together, these nutrients contribute to the product's multi-system metabolic-support formulation.

Tryptophan

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid involved in normal protein synthesis and the production of biologically important compounds.

It is included in PROTEK MD as part of the formulation supporting appetite regulation and healthy metabolic balance.

Suitable for Horses & Ponies

Kelato PROTEK MD may be particularly relevant for:

• Horses requiring additional metabolic nutritional support
• Ponies prone to excess body condition
• Horses with prominent cresty necks
• Easy-keeping horses
• Horses requiring support for normal insulin and glucose function
• Horses needing additional digestive support
• Older horses with changing metabolic requirements

Supporting Horses at Risk of Laminitis

Maintaining a healthy bodyweight, appropriate insulin function and balanced nutrition is particularly important for horses at risk of laminitis.

PROTEK MD is designed to support normal metabolic function and may be used as part of a broader, veterinarian-guided management program.

Important: PROTEK MD is not a treatment or cure for laminitis, equine metabolic syndrome or pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID/Cushing's disease).

Horses showing signs of laminitis, including hoof pain, reluctance to move, increased digital pulses or difficulty standing, require prompt veterinary assessment.

Feeding & Management Recommendations

For horses requiring metabolic support, consider the complete management program.

This may include:

• Appropriate forage selection
• Monitoring sugar and starch intake
• Maintaining a healthy body condition
• Regular bodyweight assessment
• Suitable exercise when medically appropriate
• Routine hoof care
• Veterinary monitoring of metabolic health
• Consistent daily supplementation

A nutritional supplement works best when used alongside appropriate feeding and management practices.

Storage Instructions

• Store in a cool, dry location.
• Keep away from excessive moisture and heat.
• Close the container securely after use.
• Use a clean, dry scoop.
• Protect from contamination.
• Follow the expiry date and storage directions on the product packaging.

Important Information

PROTEK MD is a nutritional supplement intended to support normal metabolic and digestive function.

It should not replace veterinary diagnosis, prescribed medication or an appropriate feeding program.

Consult your veterinarian before feeding to pregnant or lactating mares, as recommended by Kelato.

For horses with suspected insulin dysregulation, laminitis or PPID, seek veterinary advice regarding appropriate testing and management.

Always provide clean, fresh drinking water.
