Kalm 'N EZ GC Plus is the Kalm 'N EZ pellet with joint support added: glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate and MSM. It's 8% fat, 20% fiber and 13.5% NSC, with no added iron.
- The added glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate and MSM support joint health and range of motion.
- Tribute says it's suitable for moderate to harder-keeping horses with sugar and starch sensitivities, including insulin resistance, PSSM Type 1 and other metabolic disorders. Check with your vet on your own horse.
- The low NSC makes it a good fit, Tribute says, for hyperactive horses and horses with digestive tract sensitivities.
- The high fiber works when hay quality is poor, and it's appropriate for total hay replacement if needed.
- Pelleted, 50 lb bag.
- Tribute adds Uptake Technology, a mix of pre- and probiotics, digestive enzymes and phospholipids that the company says helps a horse absorb more of what he eats and supports his digestive health.
- Constant Comfort is a seaweed-derived calcium. Tribute says it promotes a healthy gastric pH, which is why they point to it for horses at risk of ulcers and digestive upset.

How to feed it
We recommend 2 or more meals per day. Do not exceed 5 lb per meal (4 lb for ponies, 6 lb for draft horses).
Provide at least 1.5% of your horse’s body weight in quality forage (hay/pasture) daily. (ex. 1,000 lb horse needs 15 lb of forage per day, minimum).
Be sure clean water is available at all times.
