NIMBLE SUPREME contains glucosamine HCl, plus a multi-patented hydrolyzed collagen with a molecularly optimized (digestible) hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate… nutrients that are easily absorbed to provide building blocks for joints structures, joint lubricants, and connective tissues. The original formula NIMBLE contains glucosamine HCl plus CMO (cetyl myristoleate), a fatty acid which naturally modulates inflammatory compounds in the body. Both supplements are available in capsule form.

2. Nutritional products for the polo pony …
With the many choices on the equine nutritional supplement shelf at feed stores, the horse owner is left with the challenging decision of what type of supplement their horses needs. Adeptus Nutrition simplifies supplement decisions for horse owners by offering products that support common needs and problems that our horses encounter.
AUGMENT® - Minerals and Vitamins…
Horses in the wild were continuous grazers. Consequently, our modern horse also needs to have a diet based on forage. In most instances, your horse will receive adequate protein, fiber, calories, and macro-minerals from the hay. Modern agricultural practices have stripped our farmlands of trace minerals. Weather conditions and storage time can adversely affect the vitamin content of forage. As a result, the hays that we feed our horses are low in trace minerals and vitamins, and we must “augment” the diet with these vital nutrients. AUGMENT, a multi-mineral/vitamin product, has trace minerals chelated to amino acids to enhance their absorption. The product also contains a complete profile of all vitamins including biotin. There is no need to feed additional “hoof” supplements with Augment - the ultimate “one a day” for horses.
GLEAM & GAIN® - Coat and Body Condition…
Some horses that are in heavy training, or are just “hard keepers”, may need additional calories beyond what they glean from their forage. Traditionally, grains such as oats and corn have been added for calories. Since grains have a high glycemic index (breakdown to sugars), they tend to give the horse a burst of energy. Fats by contrast do not break down to sugars, and give the horse a gradual “calm” calorie source. Feeding fat also promotes a shiny coat. GLEAM & GAIN from Adeptus Nutrition has fat from flax meal and rice bran. It can be used at a low inclusion level to enhance the coat, and with more added, it can be used as a calorie or weight gain supplement.
NIMBLE® - Joint and Connective Tissue Support…
When evaluating a joint supplement, the key ingredient that you should look for is glucosamine, a precursor to several structural components of joints. Glucosamine HCl provides a more concentrated amount of glucosamine than glucosamine sulfate. Due to glucosamine’s low molecular weight, it is very digestible. NIMBLE Ultra from Adeptus has an effective level of glucosamine HCl. In addition, the Nimble Ultra formula has CMO (cetyl myristoleate) and omega-3 fatty acids, which naturally modulate inflammatory compounds in the body. Other synergistic nutrients round out the formula. Our newer formula, NIMBLE Supreme, contains a similar profile of ingredients as NIMBLE Ultra, plus a multi-patented hydrolyzed collagen with a molecularly optimized (digestible) hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate. NIMBLE Supreme is great for both joint and tendon/ligament integrity.
INVIGOR® - Digestive Aid…
Imbalances in the cecum, a structure in the horse’s hindgut, result in the many digestive disturbances observed in horses. Microbes within the cecum digest forage. Since this structure is located in the hindgut, it is difficult to inoculate with microbes, or probiotics, as they are digested in the foregut. Yeast cultures, or prebiotics, contain carbohydrates that are not digested by the horse, but are nutrients for the microbes. Therefore, with yeast cultures added to the diet, the microbes flourish and are more efficient at digesting hay. INVIGOR from Adeptus “invigorates” the microbes in the cecum, and is great for horses with hay bellies, diarrhea, colicky types, horses with Cushing’s disease, older horses, etc.
ALLAY®- Antacid and Calming Supplement…
In recent studies, it was noted that 80% to 90% of racehorses have gastric ulcers and about 50% to 60% of non-racers have ulcers. Horses only secrete alkaline saliva during the chewing process. Saliva buffers the acidic pH of the stomach. Adeptus antacid formula ALLAY, naturally buffers the acidity in the stomach. ALLAY also contains both magnesium and calcium which naturally calm nervous horses.
PERSEVERE® - Electrolytes…
Horses sweat as a cooling mechanism, and lose from 5 to 15 liters of electrolyte-rich sweat in an hour of exercise. PERSEVERE mimics the ratios of the electrolytes (sodium, potassium, and chloride) lost in sweat. Imbalances and depletion of electrolytes can result in premature fatigue, tying-up, thumps, and exhaustion. Preloading 2 to 3 hours prior to work in hot or humid conditions with PERSEVERE is advisable.
ROBUST® - Muscle Builder…
Equine muscle builders are popular for performance horses and horses returning to training after injuries. ROBUST from Adeptus contains HMB, a metabolite of the amino acid leucine that has been scientifically proven (and patented) to improve muscle metabolism in horses.
