Horses gain weight when they consume more energy than they use up. NATURAL GLO can be used to put weight on horses that are too thin, because it provides more useable energy per pound than typical grains. When NATURAL GLO replaces some grains in a total ration, horses can be fed to gain or lose weight or stay the same, depending on the horse's needs.

NATURAL GLO contains fatty acids that cause a typical healthy horse's coat to 'glo' or shine. That is why the product was named NATURAL GLO.

NATURAL GLO provides more energy per pound than grains, but it does not produce a 'grain high' that is a typical response to the starches in grains. In fact, most horses become quieter when switched from high-grain rations to rations containing NATURAL GLO and little or no grain.

NATURAL GLO is 100% stabilized rice bran with no additives or preservatives. Rice bran is the brown part of the rice kernel that is left on the brown rice and milled off from white rice. Rice bran accounts for only 5-8% of the paddy rice weight, but contains over 60% of the nutrients found in each kernel of rice. Raw rice bran is very unstable; therefore it can become rancid within 24 hours if not stabilized.

According to a long-term study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, hormone replacement therapy did not result in weight gain. However, regardless of whether they are taking HRT, women are more likely to gain some weight with aging. A good diet and regular exercise can help avoid this.

Hormonal weight gain is due to an imbalance between estrogen and progesterone and a possible deficiency in thyroid hormones. If you are estrogen dominant you may easily gain weight and find it very difficult to lose weight. This can be overcome by taking progesterone. When these hormones are given as part of HRT they should be properly balanced so no weight gain will occur.

In Feeding and Care of the Horse (Lewis, LD. Williams and Wilkins, Baltimore, 1995), Lewis defines a supplement as "a feed mixture added to a diet to increase the amount of a specific nutrient(s)". However, most people think of a supplement as something fed in relatively small amounts. NATURAL GLO is a feed, because it provides many nutrients rather than a few. But, since it is fed at the rate of 1/2 to 2 lb. per day, it is commonly called a supplement.

In order to determine how much NATURAL GLO to feed, you need to know the age, breed, size, medical status, reproductive status and workload of your horse as well as its current condition and its current feeding program. When you provide this information to our HELPLINE service at 1-(800) 680-8254, we will make ration suggestions specifically for your horse. Typical feeding rates for NATURAL GLO are 1/2 to 2 lb. per day.

Most horses like NATURAL GLO the first time they get it. Some horses take a few days to adjust to it. Most horses prefer it to grains once they become accustomed to eating it.

The following answer is from the IFIC, International Food Information Council Foundation, 1100 Connecticut Avenue, N. W. Suite 430, Washington, DC 20036. (reference in bibliography, Part 8)] Because sugars taste pleasant and humans are born with a preference for a sweet taste, scientists have speculated that eating sugars may lead to overeating and thereby obesity.

You have to eat more calories each day than you burn up in basic metabolic functions and activity. If you eat 500 extra calories every day (about one hamburger or restaurant sandwich or milkshake), you will gain about one pound per week, providing your thyroid gland and digestive tract are normal and healthy -- and providing you don't exercise more and burn off those extra calories.

Pregnancy weight gain depends upon your baseline height and weight. The bulk of the weight gain in pregnancy is blood volume and that increases by two thirds in a normal pregnancy.
