The Perfect Products MetaSweat is used to increase sweat production and manage insulin resistance. It is formulated to support healthy sweat production, adrenal function, sugar metabolism and insulin function.
MetaSweat is a proprietary formula that addresses anhidrosis in horses via the sympathetic nervous system and the pituitary and thyroid glands. It is also beneficial in horses who exhibit insulin resistance. This is because the same mechanism that impacts anhidrosis also potentiate the horse’s natural sensitivity to the insulin that is naturally produced in the pancreas.
MetaSweat offers the ideal baseline of support for performance horses who may be prone to metabolic changes.
- Addresses anhidrosis in horses via the sympathetic nervous system and the pituitary thyroid glands.
- Helpful in horses exhibiting insulin resistance.
- Offers the ideal basis of support for horses prone to metabolic changes.
- Contains no prohibited substances.
Ingredients in detail
L-Tyrosine
Tyrosine is important to proper function of the thyroid, adrenal and pituitary glands. Anhidrosis is suspected to be caused, in part, by a depletion of dopamine in the body. By supplementing L-Tyrosine, a precursor for dopamine, these levels are replenished and sweating can resume.
Magnesium (as Oxide)
Research has shown that exercise induces a redistribution of Magnesium in the body to accommodate metabolic needs. Depletion of Magnesium can have devastating consequences on performance and inhibit sweat production. It is included in MetaSweat™ to mitigate metabolic and oxidative stress.
Niacin (Vitamin B3)
Niacin has been shown to improve metabolic efficiency and thyroid function, as well as protect dopaminergic neurons from neurotoxicity, thus preventing a drop in dopamine levels that may be a causative factor in anhidrosis.
Manganese (as Proteinate)
Manganese is involved in amino acid, cholesterol, glucose, and carbohydrate metabolism. Research in animals suggests that Manganese supplementation may improve glucose tolerance and reduce oxidative stress.
Zinc (as Proteinate)
Zinc is involved in numerous aspects of cellular metabolism. Studies in animals have provided direct evidence for a relationship between Zinc and insulin metabolism in pancreatic β-cells. Zinc regulates insulin receptors, prolongs the action of insulin, and promotes healthy lipid profiles.
Copper (as Proteinate)
Copper deficiency may be a leading cause of insulin resistance. When supplementing Zinc, it is imperative to include Copper as Zinc tends to deplete Copper levels. MetaSweat™ is formulated to provide the ideal Zinc-Copper ratio your horse needs for optimal metabolic support.
Iodine (from Kelp)
Iodine is essential for the production of thyroid hormone. Some suggest hypothyroidism, the decreased production of thyroid hormones, might be a mechanism for anhidrosis. Iodine supplementation has studied for its effect on clinical signs of anhidrosis in horses.
