LMF Special Ingredients
Organic Chromium
KemTRACE® Chromium supports proper glucose and insulin metabolism to improve health and performance. Assists insulin to move glucose from blood into the tissue.
Marine Based Calcium
Highly available marine derived calcium (Calcite). Calcite has increased availability to aid gut buffering and bone health. Increased absorption leading to increased bone density.
100% Organic Selenium
Organic Selenium is more bio-available than inorganic Selenium and is better retained in the body. This allows the horse to build nutrient reserves against periods of increased demand with less risk of toxicity.
Chelated Organic Trace Minerals
These proteinated minerals allow for maximum absorption and retention by the horse. They are designed to match as closely as possible the naturally complexed trace element compounds found in forages and grains.
Omega 3 & 6 Fatty Acids
Omega fatty acids are unsaturated fatty acids that are components of oils commonly added to horse diets. Omega 6 fatty acids are used in the body to help mediate inflammation. Omega 3 fatty acid is used to produce intermediaries that suppress inflammation. Both Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids are important in a horse’s diet for hoof health, reproductive success, allergy and immune conditions, respiratory conditions, and exercise recovery.
GI Pro³
A multi-strain probiotic/proteobiotic that destroys disease-causing bacteria in the hindgut. This ingredient is a true probiotic that arrives to the hindgut alive with proven equine pathogen inhibition.
Added Amino Acids
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Think of the proteins as words and the amino acids as the letters that form the words. If an animal is trying to form a protein to build or repair tissue and an amino acid is missing, the protein cannot be formed. LMF feeds use high quality protein sources in all of our feeds. Additionally, LMF feeds are supplemented with two of the most critical amino acids, Lysine and Methionine.
Glucosamine
Glucosamine is a natural substance that is found in the cartilage tissue associated with unique joints. It is made from a series of sugar and protein molecules. Once incorporated into joint cartilage it works with other substances to absorb shock and lubricate the joint. Glucosamine has been shown to function in the joint as an anti-inflammatory substance. Glucosamine is added to help horses feel more comfortable and move easier.
Natural Vitamin E
Natural Vitamin E, which comes from plant oils, is an important fat soluble vitamin that is not produced by the horse’s body. This vitamin must be obtained through external sources like forage, grain and supplements, and acts as an antioxidant, helps keep the immune system strong, and helps the body use Vitamin K.
Magnesium
Magnesium (MG) is a mineral with many functions in the horse. One key function of Magnesium is the involvement with insulin to store blood sugar. Deficiency of Magnesium may contribute to worsening insulin resistance. Magnesium is specifically added to all LMF Feeds intended to be fed to carbohydrate sensitive horses.
Feeding Instructions

For mature horses that are naive to the LMF Senior Low Carb, who may be offered the feed for the first time, for horses that aggressively consume their feed, and for horses with chewing difficulties it is recommended the LMF Senior Low Carb be soaked in water for 20 minutes prior to feeding. Add enough water to completely submerge the LMF Senior Low Carb. The amount of water to submerge the feed will vary depending on the amount of feed provided to the horse.
WARNING: Feed LMF Horse Feeds to horses according to the feeding instructions provided on the feed tag, or upon the advice of your nutritionist. Do not add other sources of selenium that cause total dietary selenium (forage and grain, combined) to exceed 0.3 ppm.
