Developed together with veterinarians

Formulated from your blood profile.
Not from guesswork.

VQ1 is an individually tailored nutritional supplement for horses — based on a comprehensive blood profile, developed together with veterinarians.

Developed together with veterinarians
Tailored to each blood profile
Made in Germany

Most horses are supplemented blindly.

Standard feed covers standard needs. But no horse is standard. Age, breed, training intensity, housing, pasture, metabolism — everything influences individual nutritional requirements.

Broad-spectrum supplements provide a one-size-fits-all approach. This leads to overdosing on substances the horse doesn't need — and deficiencies where it truly matters.

VQ1 puts an end to guesswork. A blood test shows what's missing. Our formulation delivers exactly what your horse needs. No more. No less.

What people value about VQ1.

I finally feel I know exactly what's in my horse's ration — instead of guessing.

— Horse owner

The process was simpler than expected: enter the details, send in the sample, get a clear report.

— Leisure rider

I like that the recommendation is based on the actual details of my horse, not a one-size-fits-all tub.

Three steps to your individual formula.

Simple, transparent, science-backed.
01

Blood Test

Your veterinarian takes a blood sample. Our test kit contains everything needed — including prepaid shipping to our partner laboratory.

02

Analysis

We analyze over 30 blood values and create a comprehensive nutritional profile. You receive a complete report with all results.

03

Your Formula

Based on the profile, we formulate an individual blend — tailored to your horse's specific deficiencies and needs.

Evidence-based, not opinion-based

Our blood panel was specifically developed to assess the nutritional status of horses. It covers trace elements, vitamins, minerals, and relevant enzyme levels.

Our analysis includes:

  • Trace elements (Se, Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn)
  • Vitamins (A, E, B-Complex, D)
  • Minerals (Ca, P, Mg, Na, K)
  • Liver enzymes & metabolic markers
  • Muscle enzymes (CK, AST, LDH)
  • Thyroid markers (T3, T4)

Every value is interpreted in the context of breed, age, training intensity, and housing conditions — not just against a general reference range.
