Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which formula should I start with?

Unless our customers have a specific need they are trying to address with their horses, we suggest everyone starts with the RevolutionEQ Original formula. We love all of our formulas but not all horses need the added ingredients and most do exceptionally well with the Original formula.

Our formulas are meant to enhance your horse’s health by providing the nutrition you can’t get from bagged feed - as a supplement to a “complete” diet.

If you want to achieve or maximize your results, it's best if you add a feed concentrate to your horse's daily feed program. It will be important that you read the feed bag label and have an accurate way to ensure your horse receives the full ration required to meet his daily needs, based on the specific product recommendations (for instance it may require you know an accurate weight on your horse and you may need a small scale to weigh the pellets to know the correct "dose").

Concentrates that others have been happy with in the past include:
➤  Calf Manna by Manna Pro
➤  Sunshine Plus by Blue Seal
➤  Barn Bag by Life Data Labs
➤  Enrich Plus by Purina (great for Metabolic Horses)
➤  Re-Leve Low NSC by Kentucky Research (amazing for Metabolic Horses in work)

The reason for the feed concentrate is to make sure your horse has foundational nutrition available to him in case he's depleted from a missing essential nutrient, other environmental factors, or maybe past prescribed medications have interfered with absorption of a key vitamin or mineral. 

With RevolutionEQ, Prime4Life or Sale Prep you will be completing your horse's nutritional requirements beyond whichever feed concentrate you choose - Vitamin E - and the dietary fats (especially Omega-3s), that aid in the absorption of Vitamins. These formulas each also have digestive yeast enzymes and probiotics to further increase digestive efficiency and increase immune system function.

Each individual formula’s ingredients can be found on the formula’s page. These are some of the more general questions we are frequently asked.

Q: I'm shopping around to educate myself. Help me to compare RevolutionEQ to other supplements on the market. 

Most of our customers compare CareMore Nutrition formulas with Platinum Performance. The difference is PP only contains our first two ingredients. 

Compare us to supplements that have:
A human food grade Flaxseed base.
Digestive Yeast Enzymes (key ingredient for efficient digestion of long stem fiber)
Added Lysine for muscle development (an essential amino acid for muscle building)
Pre & Probiotics (the immune system lives in the microbiota of the digestive tract)
Linseed Oil (the colic cure!)
Wheat Germ Oil (coat & cell function)
Organic Coconut Oil (anti-inflammatory & cell function)
Flaxseed Oil (shine and hoof quality)

One serving of RevolutionEQ, Prime4Life or Sale Prep contains about one tablespoon of extruded soybean so a very small amount per serving. We use soybean meal because horses love the taste. Equal to how you may add sugar or spices or salt and pepper to enhance the flavor of your food, we use soy to create an extremely palatable supplement with an enticing aroma. The granular consistency of the ground soy encourages chewing and prevents the flax meal from sticking to the roof of your horse's mouth like peanut butter. 

Plus, soybean is an excellent, highly digestible source of muscle building amino acids!

Additional Resources on soy:

In an online article posted by TheHorse.com two veterinarians talk about their professional opinions on the use of soy in horse’s diets.  

Amy M. Gill, PhD, an equine nutritionist from Lexington, Ky., says: 

"Horses need vegetarian sources of protein to supply amino acids. As far as we know, soy protein provides the closest match to equine amino acid requirements," said Gill. "Many of the human soy-related problems reported in the news are coming from women who over consume soy protein, affecting their reproductive hormones, or from people who are truly allergic to soy products."

 Gill continued, "Because horses are strict herbivores, they can have completely different metabolic responses to digesting individual ingredients than omnivorous humans do, so the effect of these ingredients could be different. No data currently exists, that I'm aware of, that shows soy protein has a negative effect on horses when it's fed in reasonable amounts, such as those included in nutritionally balanced horse feeds."

 Dr. Grogan also cautions owners not to throw the soy baby out with the bathwater. "While soy protein can have negative health consequences, cold-pressed, unrefined soybean oil has beneficial antioxidant effects, including stabilizing blood sugar and improving metabolic balance. We recommend soy oil as a positive addition to a well-rounded feeding program," he said. 

Q: How should RevolutionEQ, Prime4Life or Sale Prep be stored?

The product should be kept sealed and away from the elements including air, water and sunlight to protect the beneficial live microorganisms and yeast cultures. Oils are fats and can potentially spoil if not stored in a sealed container.

Q: How long is the shelf life of your products?

RevolutionEQ, Prime4Life & Sale Prep
Sealed/Unopened bucket - 12 months-18 months
Once opened - about 90 days (no need to refrigerate)
Can be frozen for 12+ months without compromising integrity

RevolutionGI
See container for printed “Sell By” date. Most are 12+months beyond date of purchase.
This formula must be refrigerated after the seal is opened.
Freezing RevolutionGI will not affect the integrity of the formula.
Use within 60 days once opened.

⚠️ Supplements are perishable. Do not offer products that appear to be spoiled, moldy or abnormal in smell or appearance.

Most commercial feeds are lacking in healthy fats and oils. The feed bags available today are not air-tight and therefore can’t prevent oils from spoiling or leaking during shipping and storage. Also when grains are harvested the oils contained within the seeds are separated and sold at a premium. What’s left is then a byproduct of the oil industry and is sold for livestock feed. Additionally, it’s a challenge to keep healthy digestive bacteria alive in bagged feed without risk of spoilage or reducing shelf life.

Our formulas are meant to enhance your horse’s health by providing the nutrition you can’t get from bagged feed - as a supplement to a “complete” diet.

Fat calories in the form of oils are the most efficiently digested fat source for horses with a digestibility rate of 90%. No other dietary form of fat comes close in digestibility. 

At CareMore we only use the highest-quality, scientifically-proven superior, plant-based oils, not the cheapest oils. Flax, linseed, wheat germ, coconut and cold pressed soy oil add anti-inflammatory Omega 3 and are found in all of our formulas. 

Adding beneficial oils to your horse’s diet also helps to stabilize glycemic index and has great benefit to horses with metabolic issues such as Cushing’s Disease or EPSM. 

Horses are herbivores and therefore have evolved to eat only plant based diets.

Do you realize that some popular horse weight building supplements use animal fat in their fat source?

Yuck! Be sure to read the ingredients label. Yes, you read that correctly, their ingredients will list animal fat on the label so be sure to check!

Q: My horse refuses to eat other weight building supplements I've ever tried. What if my horse won't eat RevolutionEQ, Prime4Life or Sale Prep?

We have many customers who have enjoyed euphoric relief to find their horses love the smell and taste of our CareMore formulas. We are so confident your horse will eat it, we offer a full money back guarantee!

Help to get you started:

Please refer to RevolutionEQ, Prime4Life or Sale Prep bucket back label for Feeding Instructions.
We will include more detailed instructions and “help to get you started” with your first order. 

As with any change in your horse’s diet, it’s best to introduce the RevolutionEQ, Prime4Life or Sale Prep slowly, over the course of a few days. There are 4 extra servings inside the bucket in the event your horse doesn’t “clean up” his feed the first few days. It’s best to throw away uneaten feed, rather than allowing it to pile up.

If your horse is fed a pellet-only diet and leaves the RevolutionEQ, Prime4Life or Sale Prep at the bottom of his dish, you can sprinkle a bit of water on the pellets so the RevolutionEQ, Prime4Life or Sale Prep “sticks” to the pellets until your horse is accepting of the change in feed.

We have found with our Senior horses - especially those that have dental issues - that mixing the RevolutionEQ or Prime4Life into their soaked beet pulp works really well.

RevolutionGI can be poured over any concentrated meal just before feed time.

Fat calories in the form of oils, are the most efficiently digested fat source for horses with a digestibility rate of 90%. No other dietary form of fat comes close in digestibility. 

In the past, it’s been a challenge to add fats to horse’s grain ratios because of low palatability. Also the benefit of the fat calories can vary widely depending on the source of the fat. NOT ALL OILS ARE CREATED EQUAL. 

At CareMore we only use the highest-quality scientifically-proven superior, plant based oils not the cheapest oils. Flax, linseed, wheat germ, coconut and cold pressed soy oil add anti-inflammatory Omega 3 and are found in all of our formulas.
