EPM in Horses: Supporting Immune and Nerve Health with ReBalance BB + Re-Bound CNS
When a horse is dealing with Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM), horse owners know how concerning changes in coordination, strength, balance, and overall performance can be. Because EPM affects the horse’s central nervous system, veterinary diagnosis and treatment are essential—but many owners also look for ways to provide additional nutritional support for immune function, nerve health, and recovery.
That’s where the Elite Nutrition EPM Program for horses, featuring ReBalance BB and Re-Bound CNS, comes in.
These two equine supplements are designed to provide different types of support that complement one another. Elite Nutrition specifically recommends pairing ReBalance BB with Re-Bound CNS for EPM horses.
What Is EPM in Horses?
Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis, commonly known as EPM, is a neurological disease in horses. Because the central nervous system is involved, horses affected by EPM may experience neurological problems that can interfere with normal movement, strength, coordination, and performance.
If EPM is suspected, working with a veterinarian is important. Nutritional supplements should be viewed as support alongside appropriate veterinary care, rather than a replacement for diagnosis or prescribed EPM treatment.
For horse owners looking to provide additional nutritional support, Elite Nutrition's approach focuses on two important areas: normal immune function and healthy nerve function.
ReBalance BB: Immune Support for EPM Horses
The first part of the Elite Nutrition EPM Program is ReBalance BB.
ReBalance BB is an herbal blend formulated to support normal immune function. Elite Nutrition's product materials recommend using ReBalance BB with Re-Bound CNS for EPM horses and describe ReBalance BB as providing natural support related to infection and inflammation.
Why does this matter?
When a horse's body is under significant stress, supporting normal immune function and overall wellness can be an important part of the horse's broader care plan.
ReBalance BB isn't limited to the EPM program, either. Elite Nutrition's product materials also reference its use in horses dealing with other health challenges, including West Nile Virus, Potomac Horse Fever, respiratory concerns, and certain infections in foals.
Within the Elite EPM Program, however, ReBalance BB serves as the immune-support side of the equation.
Re-Bound CNS: Supporting Healthy Nerve Function
The second component is Re-Bound CNS, and this is where the program specifically focuses on neurological support.
Elite Nutrition recommends pairing Re-Bound CNS with ReBalance BB for EPM horses. According to Elite's product materials, Re-Bound CNS:
Supports healthy nerve function and healing
May help with nerve weakness or damage
Provides additional support related to muscle, ligament, and tendon recovery
Because neurological function is such an important concern with EPM, targeted equine nerve support can be a valuable addition to an EPM horse's overall nutritional program.
Rather than offering general nutritional support alone, Re-Bound CNS is specifically positioned around normal nerve function and healing.
Why Use ReBalance BB and Re-Bound CNS Together?
This is what makes the Elite Nutrition EPM Program different: the two products aren't doing the same job.
Think of it as a two-part approach:
ReBalance BB → Normal Immune Function Support Re-Bound CNS → Normal Nerve Function + Healing Support
Elite Nutrition's own materials specifically recommend pairing these products for horses with EPM.
For horse owners, that means you're not simply adding another general supplement to the feed room. You're providing targeted nutritional support in two areas that may be particularly important for an EPM horse.
Supporting Your Horse Through EPM Recovery
Every horse's experience with EPM is different. The severity of neurological signs, veterinary treatment plan, response to treatment, and recovery timeline can vary considerably.
That's why a complete approach matters.
Veterinary care should remain the foundation of diagnosing and treating EPM. Alongside that treatment plan, owners can discuss appropriate nutrition, body condition, exercise or rehabilitation, and supportive supplementation with their veterinarian.
For owners looking for nutritional support for horses with EPM, the combination of ReBalance BB and Re-Bound CNS offers a targeted approach focused on immune and neurological support.

Your horse depends on you to give them the support they need—especially when they're facing a significant health challenge.
