The oil in PowerStance (coconut oil) is unlike any other vegetable oil fed to horses, and may assist in providing the following unique benefits:

• Increased muscle glycogen storage.  Saturated fats such as those found in coconut oil are more effective at enhancing muscle glycogen storage than the unsaturated fats found in other vegetable oils (eg. canola, corn and soya oil).
• Anti-viral and anti-bacterial protection.
• Ready energy - coconut oil contains MCTs which are easier to digest, absorb and convert to muscle energy than the long-chain fatty acids found in other vegetable oils.
• Long shelf life – unlike other vegetable oils, coconut oil is highly saturated and therefore more resistant to rancidity.
• Delicious taste and smell.

PowerStance is useful for:

• All performance horses.
• Weight gain.
• Finicky eaters/horses with poor appetite.
• Horses prone to tying up.
• Horses that don’t cope well with grain in their diet, or whose behaviour is affected by grain in the diet.
• Horses in show or sale preparation.
• Aged horses.
• Pony club horses.
