B12-BALANCE *Organic herbal blend for horses - bioactive energy, natural vitality, and gut-driven B-vitamin support
When the gut is under strain, energy drops — and your horse tells you long before bloods do.
For many owners, low B12 isn’t something you test for - it’s something you notice :
- A horse who seems flat or “not quite themself”
- Appetite that wobbles after antibiotics, stress, or feed changes
- A dull coat or low zest for life
- Older horses losing their usual sparkle
- A sensitive gut that dips energy whenever things go off-balance
- Slow recovery after stress, illness, or digestive upset
And the question behind it all - “ Is he getting what he needs inside? ”
B12-Balance exists for exactly these moments - when your horse needs gentle, plant-based, non-synthetic support to steady appetite, energy, and natural B-vitamin production from within.
It’s a calm, daily nutritional option that supports vitality through the gut–energy axis - without stimulants, sugars, or quick fixes. A steady, gentle daily lift for horses needing more from their gut-driven energy system.

“B12-Balance has been a lifesaver for my older horse - his energy is up, his appetite is back, and he’s happier overall." Ellie B.

Is B12-Balance the right blend for your horse?
Choose B12-Balance when your horse is:
✔ Flat, dull, or lower in vitality than usual
✔ Off their feed or eating without enthusiasm
✔ Recovering from stress, antibiotics, or digestive disruption
✔ An older horse needing steadier metabolic energy
✔ Struggling with inconsistent appetite or energy dips
✔ In need of a gentle nutritional lift that supports gut health and natural B-vitamin activity
B12-Balance is your daily foundation when the gut isn’t producing enough natural B-vitamins — the engine behind appetite, energy, metabolism, and cellular vitality.
Not suitable for iodine-restricted horses due to natural iodine in Bladderwrack.
Why B12-Balance helps horses feel more like themselves
Natural B12 and B6 are produced in the hindgut - not supplied by forage.
So when the gut is disrupted by:
- stress
- antibiotics
- haylage
- a sudden feed change
- hindgut dysbiosis
- age-related digestive decline
… your horse’s B-vitamin supply can drop.
This often shows up as:
- lack of sparkle
- low appetite
- sluggishness
- poor recovery
- “blah” energy
- older horses feeling their age
B12-Balance supports the gut–energy connection with botanicals traditionally used to:
🌿 Support natural B-vitamin synthesis in the hindgut
🌿 Encourage steady appetite and vitality
🌿 Nourish gut lining integrity for efficient nutrient uptake
🌿 Offer gentle support to thyroid-linked metabolism
🌿 Support healthy blood flow and cellular energy use
🌿 Provide non-synthetic, plant-based nourishment for metabolic balance
In short - when the gut is healthy, energy follows, and B12-Balance helps your horse get back to that place .
Which blend - B12 or P5P?
Each blend supports a different aspect of the gut–energy–metabolism system:

Vitality | Appetite | Gut–energy connection
✔ Best for low vitality, appetite dips, post-antibiotics, older horses, or subtle metabolic wobbliness.
→ P5P (Activated B6)
Neurological balance | Detox pathways | KPU patterns
