How do I feed APEX?
How do I feed APEX?
We are yet to hear a complaint in the taste department, with all horses loving APEX. All of our products are water soluble though, use your AXLR8 shaker to mix with water & add to feed! We recommend a gradual add of APEX to your horses diet over a period of 7 - 10 days to allow their gut microflora to adjust.
APEX vs the rest

Synthetic amino acids, soy meal or concentrates (lower bioavailability)
Collagen + dried colostrum to repair muscle + build lasting topline
Typically lysine or gamma-oryzanol only, no added soft tissue support
Coconut fat for added calories, cool energy source + coat shine
Varies: some use full-fat soy or oils, others provide no energy source
Ulcer-friendly, no synthetics, no stimulants - safe for sensitive horses
Can include additives or appetite stimulants that aren't suited to all horses

Got questions? We have em' covered
How long until I see results?
While every horse is individual, we would expect by the completion of your first 4kg tub of APEX that you will see noticeable results. Most of our customers report to us of changes within 14 days!
Isn't high protein better?
Short answer - no! While protein is the building block to muscle development & organ function, excess protein may cause a range of health issues, including inflammation and highly acidic urea output which wreaks havoc on horses airways when stabled. We have formulated APEX to include protein, carbs and fats - a balanced macronutrient profile of three key nutrient types. Check out Dr Jyme Nichols episode on Protein percent doesn't matter for your horse!!
Isn't whey & soy protein bad for adult horses?
Whey protein is considered suboptimal for adult horses due to the lactose standard whey contains. That's why we have stripped it out! We use high isolate whey and soy proteins, which means lactose is significantly reduced, while still delivering a fantastic amino acid profile. We don't add any synthetic aminos to our formulation, which means high bioavailability!
Added plasma? Why though
Great question! There are over 600 studies and counting of multi-species use of plasma and their benefits to overall health & well-being. Dr Jyme Nichols from The Feed Room Chemist recently distributed a podcast episode on the benefits of Plasma - Episode 118!
Um, APEX is expensive. Do you do smaller packs?
We pride ourselves on the premium, fixed recipe of ingredients we use to formulate APEX. When looking at the competitors within this space, we are competitively priced at less than a cup of coffee per day, considering all three macronutrient groups are included with added plasma & collagen.
If you have a particularly fussy eater, we can offer 'taste test' packs, just email us!
How long will an APEX tub last?
You'll expect to use one 4kg APEX tub within 114 serves - approximately 6-8 weeks for one horse.
Is this safe for laminitis or metabolic horses?
Each horse is individual, with their management for metabolic or laminitis issues - so in the first instance we would always encourage you to talk with your veterinarian. APEX is formulated with less than 5% NSC (non-structural carbohydrates) and the addition of fat has been shown to stabilise the insulin response post-feeding.
