Missing Link Equine (Immunity, Skin & Coat) and Equine Plus TM Joint

Out on open range, a horse grazes a moving buffet of fresh grasses, seeds, and forage — the kind of unprocessed, nutrient-dense diet nature designed for him. Modern commercial feed rarely delivers that. Missing Link Equine, the whole-food superfood supplement from Designing Health, exists to close that gap. It reintroduces fresh, sparingly processed whole foods to your horse's daily ration so his diet looks a little more like the open pasture it was built for.

Built on a base of ground whole flaxseed, Missing Link Equine is rich in the balanced Omega 3 & 6 essential fatty acids horses are naturally meant to thrive on. Horses are Omega 3 animals by nature, yet dry, processed feed leaves many of them short. A daily scoop of Missing Link helps restore that balance with real, food-sourced nutrition rather than synthetic isolates.

What does Missing Link Equine actually do for your horse?

By feeding the whole horse — nose to tail — Missing Link Equine supports the systems owners care about most: a healthy immune system, easy digestion, and a soft, deeply conditioned coat. Horses on the formula are reported to show less shedding, less scratching and itching, steadier energy, and that unmistakable “spit-and-shine” bloom that tells you nutrition is working from the inside out. It also lends nutritional support for strong, resilient hooves and overall everyday well-being.

The formula draws its strength from real ingredients you can recognize: ground whole flaxseed for stabilized Omega fats, plus rice bran, dehydrated alfalfa, dried carrot, ground hulled sunflower seed, dried apple, ground barley grass, dried kelp, lecithin, garlic, and yucca schidigera extract. To protect those delicate nutrients, every Missing Link product is made through a proprietary cold process at the company's USDA- and FDA-registered facility in Valencia, California.

For horses who ask more of their joints — the seasoned campaigner, the hard-working performer, the aging companion — Designing Health builds on the same whole-food base with Equine Plus™ Joint. It pairs every benefit of the original Missing Link formula with added glucosamine, which helps stimulate the production of collagen, the protein that supports healthy, cushioned joints.

Alongside that glucosamine, Equine Plus™ Joint delivers Omega 3 & 6 essential fatty acids for joint mobility, skin, coat, and balanced energy; beneficial enzymes to keep digestion running smoothly; fiber for bowel health; and phytonutrients with traces of vitamins and minerals for whole-body wellness. The result is a single, daily granular powder — easily sprinkled over feed by weight — that supports comfortable movement without abandoning the food-first philosophy that defines the brand.

How do you feed Missing Link and who is it for?

Feeding is simple: measure the daily granular powder onto your horse's regular ration according to his weight, starting with about half the recommended amount and working up to the full serving over roughly two weeks so his system adjusts. Because both Missing Link Equine and Equine Plus™ Joint are whole-food blends rather than medicated products, they suit horses of every stage — from young horses building condition to performance partners and easy keepers who simply deserve better nutrition. Designing Health was founded by veterinarian Dr. Robert M. Collett, who spent a decade researching and testing formulations before settling on the Missing Link line, and that food-first conviction still drives every bag the company makes today.
