Nutraceuticals are products derived from food sources with extra health benefits in addition to their basic nutritional value.

With every 100gm cup, OneCup provides all horses and ponies with the following vitamins and minerals:

Beta Carotene (Vitamin A Precursor): 8mg

A safe and effective way to provide the building blocks for vitamin A, which is vital for vision, appetite and growth.

Biotin: 700mcg

Aids the hardening of hoof horn to prevent cracking. It is an essential requirement for keratin production in the hoof, laminae and the coronary band and is critical to maintain overall hoof integrity and condition. Also helps to maintain normal blood glucose levels.

Calcium: 3.5gm

Essential as a major constituent of bones and required for muscle contractions (all movement), cell membrane function and enzyme regulation.

Choline: 144mg​

Essential for all cell membranes and neural function, necessary to support cognitive health.

Copper (inc. Protected): 50mg

Essential for improving blood flow and for the production of collagen, which provides the framework for muscles, organs and connective tissues.

Folic Acid (Vit B9) (3.3mg)

Important for growth and development and helps to produce healthy blood cells.

Iodine: 1mg​

Essential for the production of thyroid hormones. A deficiency of these can cause lethargy, poor performance and infertility.

Essential for the nervous system and for normal growth and development. Important for regulating muscle contractions and movement.

Manganese (inc. Protected): 30mg

Essential for the production of chondroitin sulphate to aid healthy movement and the utilisation of fats and carbohydrates for energy.

Niacin (Vit B3): 12mg

Important for carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, cell respiration and DNA repair.

Pantothenic Acid (Vit B5): 7.4mg​

Vital for the body to synthesise coenzyme A, which is essential for fatty acid metabolism.

OneCup is a simple balancer designed to be fed at low feed rates (100grams) whilst Equilibra is fed at 500grams.

The additional feed rate from Equilibra has a nutritional benefit to the horse, whilst OneCup is much more concentrated and is a palatable way of providing the essential vitamins and minerals without overfeeding the horse.

OneCup is designed to be fed to more conditioned horses, breeds that put on weight easily (good doers) and under light workloads, for example Cobs (such as Welsh, heavy breed cobs), equines in low work and ponies (Exmoor, Dartmoor, New Forest, Dales, Fell, Highland and Shetland ponies).

OneCup does not contain any hemp meal, so if you are looking to avoid hemp completely it can be a good and cost effective alternative for providing sufficient minerals and vitamins to your horse.

A 100gm measure of OneCup provides approximately 10 times the level of vitamins & trace elements as most general equine feeds such as pony nuts.

Absolutely not. OneCup is specifically designed to be fed as the sole vitamin and mineral supplement and certainly cannot be fed alongside Equilibra or any other balancer. This could be dangerous and could lead to toxic levels of certain minerals, for example copper and selenium.

Yes of course, it is commonly used with some of our other supplements, in particular Immune Aid, X-Lam Aid & Joint Aid Plus.

No, OneCup contains soya meal which is a GM feed. This is a cost effective mineral supplement with a high ash (vitamin and mineral content) - as a result it needs to be fed with a highly palatable feed to ensure uptake. In this case we use hipro soya meal which has excellent palatability.  

Our feeds and supplements are available at most good pet shops and country stores around the UK. To find a local stockist in your area search using our Stockist Locator. If your local feed store is not currently stocking OneCup please let us know and we may be able to help. Alternatively our products are also available from a variety of online retailers.

The daily feeding rate of 100gm means that the daily starch content being given in OneCup is low.

Yes OneCup incudes a wheat by-product (also known as wheat middlings). This is the by-product left after flour extraction where a lot of the starch has been extracted, meaning starch levels are low. It also means OneCup is very cost-effective.  

Yes, OneCup must be fed at the stated feed rate (100gms) as it is highly concentrated and contains certain minerals that can be toxic in larger quantities (in particular selenium, copper and zinc).

Yes OneCup is suitable for a mare in foal, although it must not be fed alongside another balancer or vitamin and mineral supplement.  

OneCup maybe a better option for providing the essential vitamins and minerals than Equilibra for a laminitic horse, as the total starch fed is less thanks to the lower feeding rate of just 100gm per day.

We would also recommend X-Lam Aid, which we designed to deal with acid issues in the gut and ensure good blood flow to the hooves. The starch content in X-Lam Aid comes from black oats and oat bran, meaning it provides slow release energy when compared to other sources such as barley, maize or wheat. The black oats used are also fundamental to the Oatinol^® Delivery System™, which allows for the improved absorption of important ingredients.

If energy is an issue, we would also recommend feeding Fibregest alongside OneCup and X-Lam Aid.
