What is Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) for Horses?
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a highly effective antioxidant and metabolic support supplement for horses. It is particularly beneficial for horses prone to weight gain and laminitis, helping maintain healthy hoof laminae and supporting optimal metabolic processes.
With its ability to regulate blood sugar and boost overall antioxidant defences, ALA is an excellent addition to your horse’s feed to promote healthier tissue and enhance athletic performance.
Why Use ALA for Horses?
- Powerful Antioxidant: ALA helps neutralise free radicals, reducing oxidative stress that can contribute to muscle fatigue, joint issues, and age-related cellular damage.
- Supports Healthy Metabolism: ALA plays a key role in regulating blood sugar levels, especially for good-doer horses or those prone to laminitis, promoting better weight management and supporting the horse’s overall health.
- Maintains Healthy Hoof Laminae: ALA helps support healthy laminae in the hoof, making it an ideal supplement for horses at risk of laminitis or those with compromised hoof quality.
- Regenerative Support for Other Antioxidants: ALA not only functions as an antioxidant but also helps regenerate other essential antioxidants, enhancing the overall antioxidant capacity in the horse’s body.
- Supports Athletic Performance: For horses in hard work or training, ALA helps enhance glucose utilisation, boosts endurance, and supports muscle recovery after strenuous activity.

Amazing product worked wonders on my horse who has EMS. He had terrible Lamonitis and was very overweight with fat pads that wouldn’t budge. What a difference this product made to him. His feet improved massively and the farrier couldn’t believe the difference. Due to him now always having to have soaked hay and poor quality grazing when he goes out he needs this product to make up for what he’s lacking.
