Mira-Chrome
 

Although current studies have not produced definitive conclusions about Chromium's effect on the horse's body, there are strong indications that its benefits are fourfold.

1. Chromium allows the body to regulate blood glucose, thus preventing behavior associated with a "sugar high".
    
2. The regulation of blood glucose helps prevent "insulin shock founder" so common in ponies and "easy keepers".
    
3. There is an increase in stamina.
    
4. Chromium promotes lean muscle tissue and assists in melting away fat deposits.

Since a need for chromium often reflects a nutrient balance deficiency in horses, we recommend feeding Equine Excel along with Mira-Chrome for best results.

For more information, see About Nutrient Balance Deficiency below.
INGREDIENTS: Water, Chromium
FEEDING DIRECTIONS: 1-3 cc/day mixed with feed. (Note: 1 cc delivers 5 mg. Chromium.)

About Nutrient Balance Deficiency

Insulin Resistance is one of the most common symptoms of the EPSM (Equine Polysaccharide Myopathy), Equine Metabolic Syndrome and the "Cushings or Cushingsoid Syndrome" horse. Research has shown that the daily addition of Chromium to a horse's diet increases his body's ability to regulate blood glucose levels. Once this is acomplished, the incidence of Insulin Shock Founder associated with Insulin Resistance is greatly reduced or eliminated altogether.

Virginia Equine Research has found that the symptoms associated with these three syndromes match the symptoms of most nutrient balance deficient horses. This means that, for best results, the horse's entire Nutrient Balance Profile needs to be addressed.
The Nutrient Balance Profile is made up of Minerals, Vitamins and Amino Acids. The optimal amounts, and inter-related balance, of these nutrients for optimal health are not found in any standard diet. However, the Nutrient Balance Profile can be drastically improved by a good, broad specturm Vitamin - Mineral - Amino Acid supplement. In ths way, you will know that the nutrients have been balanced to work with each other rather than competing against each other.

Again, this product must work in conjunction with other vital nurients. It will not work if given with a low quality feed. Our supplement "EquineExcel" provides all these nutrients, and we highly recommend using it with the "Mira-Chrome" itself. The results are often spectacular.
