Laminitis is an extremely painful condition and the second most common cause of premature death in horses (through euthanasia). However, with expert care, horses and ponies can recover. Correct nutrition plays a crucial part in this process, and a restricted diet is commonly required. However, it is vital that crucial nutrients that the body needs to repair hoof tissue are provided. Hoof Support provides the key vitamins, minerals and proteins needed to aid recovery.
Devil's Claw is Nature's pain relief and has been used for centuriesfor it's anti-inflammatory properties. In trials in horses Devil's Claw has been found to be as effective as Bute. Improve quality of life while your horse or pony is recovering from laminitis.

Stress Relief
$90.00
- As with humans, stress adversely affects your horse's health, suppressing his immune system, making him susceptible to infection and disease. Likewise, stress affects behaviour and athletic performance. Combine these two products to help relieve stress and anxious behaviour in your horse. Calm Support is high in Magnesium, Thiamine and B vitamins, addressing nutritional deficiencies that can cause anxious behaviour, whilst Omega-3 helps maintain hormonal balance, which can be disrupted by stress.
-
Calm Support:
MAGNESIUM is a major mineral critical to the normal functioning of skeletal and heart muscle and the nervous system. It is a component of over 300 enzymes in the body. Hypersensitivity and irritability can be indicators of dietary magnesium deficiency. Diets high in calcium can result in a magnesium deficiency, as calcium can compete for absorption in the body.
B Vitamins are important to every cell and organ in the horse's body. B vitamins also work together, so supplementing with a combination of B vitamins is beneficial. A horse exhibiting nervousness, excitability, irritability, or jumpiness may be exhibiting symptoms of Vitamin B deficiency. B vitamin supplementation is recommended for horses being heavily exercised and for those under stress.
Thiamine (Vit B1) - Thiamine is required for the metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates, for DNA and cell replication and for the transmission of nerve impulses. Thiamine can have a calming effect on horses, and symptoms of a thiamine deficiency include nervousness, irritability and excitability.Folic acid (Vit B9) - Adequate levels are vital to the production of normal levels of serotonin in the brain. Folic acid is also required for the normal production of red blood cells, protein metabolism and cell duplication. Heavy exercise causes folic acid levels to drop.
Pyridoxine (Vit B6) - Pyridoxine assists in the production of neurotransmitters in the brain and has a critical function in the use of glycogen in muscle cells. Nervousness or irritability may be a sign of dietary deficiency because of pyridoxine's function in the production of brain chemicals.
Niacin (Vit B3) - Niacin is needed for proper energy production, cholesterol, fatty acid and protein metabolism, DNA replication, cell reproduction and the normal functioning of the nervous system.
Pantothenic acid (Vit B5) - Pantothenic Acid is needed for energy metabolism, the manufacture of steroid hormones and for the chemicals needed in the transmission of nerve impulses.
Riboflavin (Vit B2) - Riboflavin plays a critical role in the generation of energy aerobically, the normal functioning of other B vitamins and is essential to the conversion of tryptophan into niacin.

Animal studies suggest that Devil's Claw can help fight inflammation, whilst human trials have seen a reduction in pain, and improved function in people suffering with osteoarthritis and back and neck pain.Joint Support:
CHONDROITIN SULPHATE is a structural component of joint cartilage. The structure of chondroitin sulphate in cartilage gives cartilage much of its compression resistance, providing shock absorption within the joint. Loss of chondroitin sulphate in cartilage may lead to osteoarthritis.
GLUCOSAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE forms the backbone of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), the building blocks of cartilage and other connective tissue.
MSM is a source of the mineral sulphur, required for the formation of cross-bridges between collagen molecules. These add strength and stability to the structure of collagen rich ligaments, tendons and joint tissues. Glucosamine functions better when there is an adequate source of sulphur.
MANGANESE is a trace mineral that is required by the body for the production of chondroitin sulphates, important in maintaining normal joint cartilage and repairing cartilage. Dietary deficiencies of manganese may result in the abnormal development of bones and joints, and impaired ability to make and repair joint cartilage.
COPPER is a trace mineral which is required for the production of normal connective tissue, including tendons, ligaments and cartilage joint lining. Copper deficiency has been indicated in developmental bone disease, including osteochondrosis dessicans. Dietary deficiency of copper may result in bone and joint disease, and tendon and ligament problems.
ZINC is a trace mineral needed in bone and joint health. Zinc is part of antioxident enzymes in the body which neutralise free radicals before they can damage normal body tissue. -
Joint Support: One level scoop (30g) treats a 500kg horse. Adjust the amount given based on the weight of the horse or pony.
