SORRY - NOT AVAILABLE IN CANADA - order Essential Daily Care and Cool, Calm & Collected instead

Sometimes good luck helps us to come across things that would never follow logically from one scientific paper to another. Customer observations followed by field trials have helped us to identify that the chelated calcium we have been using for 25 years seems to help many laminitis prone horses to cope better and Cushing's horses to manage with much lower or even no drugs. This isn't a treatment or a cure for these diseases but if it helps the horses to live their later years more comfortably it is well worth considering. And that is what our customers in the UK and Australia report so we are delighted to make this technology available for American and Canadian customers to try.

LAM Essentials contains a number of groups of ingredients:

* Chelated calcium helps with brain function but is also the single nutrient we tested on Cushing's horses. It didn't help them all but it helped the majority. Learn more about our trials by clicking here. We also have anecdotal evidence that it helps with laminitics and other hormonal upset issues. Here is an example from an Australian customer of ours - Bolshy Laminitic Mare.

* Psyllium is reputed to help with insulin regulation. We have never evaluated this in our own trials.

* Full spectrum vitamin, mineral and amino acid supplement. Includes the amino acid methionine, supported by bioavailable sulfur, for hoof horn growth. This product is Magnesium FREE because excess magnesium interferes with the cellular processes we are trying to support. 

This is the Follow On version of LAM Essentials. It is the one to use if your horse is already on one of our chelated calcium supplements. If your horse new to EquiFeast chelated calcium buy the Starter version of LAM Essentials for the first month or more.

Typical long term cost for a 700lb pony is a little over a dollar a day ($3 a day for the starter version).

    LAM Essentials changed my horse’s life

    Posted by Kendra on Jul 9th 2023

    When my horse was diagnosed through genetic testing with PSSM-1 I immediately started researching the best diet for a PSSM-1 horse. High levels of magnesium and vitamin e were recommended in most places so I started him on that. After a couple weeks my normally quiet and sensible young gelding became so spooky and reactive that he was dangerous to handle and impossible to ride. Even after removing the supplements he was not himself. I was introduced to LAM Essentials through one of the PSSM Facebook groups and I ordered the starter bucket and followed the recommendation of only feeding single ingredient feeds with no added magnesium and other substances that can inhibit this supplement. After a few weeks I had my horse back! It has been nearly a year since his diagnosis and he is doing better than ever! I will likely have him on this supplement for the rest of his life. I truly don’t know what I would do without it and recommend it to everyone I know with PSSM horses.

    Game Changer for my PSSM Horse

    Posted by Cristina H on Feb 15th 2023

    I resisted trying Lam Essentials for almost a year of others suggesting it to me as the notion of removing magnesium so soften the muscles of my miserably sore PSSM 1&2 positive horse felt instinctively backwards. After a year experimenting with diet changes to try and bring him relief without success I ordered the Lam Essentials Starter Pack. I did not see any changes the first month on the starter pack and my horse actually had the worst tie up of his life that same month, but because I had already bought the second bag follow on I decided to feed it through and then try something after. Boy am I glad I did as by week 6 he was back to his old self I knew two years prior to the onset of his disease State. His goofy expression replaced the tense depression face and his muscles softened. 13 months later (current) and I’m riding him and keeping him in work. I know Lam Essentials among very tight management of exercise and hoof care is key in keeping him sound as on the suggested rest days every Monday where he doesn’t get any supplements per Equifeast he is back to being sore and miserable by Tuesday morning. Within an hour of his breakfast Tuesday with the supplements he’s happy again. Absolute life savor for my special boy. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 stars as the rest of the nutrition profile is low in my opinion so I have to add copper zinc and vitamin E to balance my hay and keep their hooves and health up, but otherwise great.

    PSSM1 very successful

    Posted by D’Ann on Jan 26th 2023

    11yo PSSM1 quarter horse mare, when we started she had visibly lost muscle-dents in the middle of muscle groups, fluid retention w/pitting edema, clearly in “tie up” pain 24/7, we are a few months in and we have our horse back!! She runs with the herd, she is back to being lead mare, NO fluid issues and NO muscle spasms, NO pain! Reconditioning starts this spring. Writing this makes me cry with happiness. Thank you

    Really Helped my PSSM2 RER horse

    Posted by Liz L on Nov 4th 2022

    The nutritionist at EquiFeast has really helped me to improve my horse's health. This product is invaluable for my horse to return to his normal self. His RER was really wreaking havoc on his mind and his spookiness. He is back to his old, mellow self.

    Really Helped my PSSM2 RER horse

    Posted by Elizabeth Lavallee on Sep 17th 2022

    Started my boy with the starter pack. Noticed an immediate improvement. Continued with the follow-on packs. He started having troubles again. After increasing the amount he gets, have now found a happly place for him. This product has helped him SO very much. Also can't thank Malcom enough for helping me to wade through the other supplements and narrow down exactly what to give Rocky for his best possible life. My boy is PSSM n/P2 and RER n/Px. This thoroughly helps his brain.

    PSSM

    Posted by Donna Robinson on Oct 30th 2021

    I tried this product because I’ve seen other reviews saying it’s helped people’s horses with PSSM. I was hesitant but gave it a try. My horse had been doing very well on it. His muscles seem more comfortable and he hadn’t had any episodes since starting it. I’m very pleased with this product.

    Life saver for my PSSM2

    Posted by tamra young on Oct 8th 2021

    February of 2019 my horse tested positive for N/P2. I spent the next year trying everything to alleviate his symptoms. His muscles were hard as rock, couldn’t canter, tripped constantly, cold backed, cinchy, hated cold bathes, grouchy a lot of the time. I thought I had found the best solution when I added whey isolate. He showed some improvement. I thought that was the best I was gonna get and considered retiring him for the most part. But I came across the equifeast trial and decided I had nothing to loose. At first I didn’t see much improvement. I had been including devils claw in his daily supplements. Malcolm suggested that I remove it. So I did. Within 2 weeks, I had a “normal” horse. His muscles are soft, he plays in the sprinklers, no longer cinchy or cold backed, rarely trips and his canter is back! We are still working on conditioning as we spent almost a year doing nothing. But I could not be happier with the results. I have been able to remove all the other supplements other than 2000 vit E. Not sure he even needs that. But better safe than sorry. Overall I am spending less money than I was before. I urge anyone struggling with a PSSM horse to try it. It won’t help every horse. But if it does, it helps A LOT!

    Happy pony

    Posted by Unknown on Sep 29th 2021

    Thank you for a great product. My pony can live a normal life, no more starving him or soaking his hay. Lam essentials, soaked hay pellets and low sugar hay and he is thriving!
