New Country Organics CoolStance #44

Cool Stance copra is a unique source of energy because it has low Non Structural Carbohydrate (NSC), and yet has a high digestible energy content. Cool Stance is packed with ‘cool' energy from coconut oil and fibre in coconut meal. Cool Stance copra is suitable for most horses and can be given to support a natural state of gut health and insulin sensitivity, ie normal insulin metabolism (see The post feeding glycaemic and insulin response to copra meal in horses)

Cool Stance copra is made from the white part of the coconut, which has been dried, baked and ground. It is a totally natural product and is chemical and GMO free. The oil in Cool Stance (coconut oil) is saturated and rich in Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCT). This means it is highly stable (not prone to rancidity) and can provide your horse with ready, non glucose energy.

Most horses love the taste of Cool Stance. It is rich in quality protein, and the oil assists with coat condition. Cool Stance may support horses with metabolic disorders including tying up, laminitis or excitable behaviour.

Key Benefits
