PSSMFLEX *Targeted nutritional support for muscle comfort and flexibility
A targeted support blend to gently help horses prone to muscle tension, stiffness, or tying up – especially those with PSSM.
For horses dealing with muscle pain, reluctance to move, exercise intolerance, or the challenges of polysaccharide storage myopathy, this simple but effective blend combines three key ingredients to nourish and support healthy muscle function, cellular energy, and recovery.

Some horses may have their own opinions (and strong tastebuds!), so now and then a new blend might need a little extra encouragement. This doesn’t reflect the quality or efficacy of the product, but rather their natural instinct towards new flavours.

Overview
When muscle metabolism goes wrong, it’s not just performance that suffers – it’s comfort, confidence, and quality of life.
PSSMFlex provides gentle, functional support where it's most needed:
- Cramp Bark (powder) – nature’s classic choice to relax smooth muscle tension, ease spasms, and soothe sore, tight tissues.
- Acetyl L-Carnitine – a bioavailable amino acid compound that helps shuttle fatty acids into muscle cells for efficient fuel production, aiding energy metabolism and recovery.
- L Glutamine - the most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue that supports muscle repair, and resilience after exercise or stress. We formulate with N-Acetyl L Glutamine because it's the water-soluble form of Glutamine; all digestive enzymes are water-soluble, hence allows for more efficient digestion and therefore swifter bioavailability (time taken to absorb into the bloodstream).
No fillers, no fluff – just clean support for muscle metabolism from the inside out.
