Poseidon Daily Balance - Equine Minerals and Vitamins

Daily Balance is the ultimate balanced mineral and vitamin supplement for horses, formulated to ensure your horse gets all the minerals and vitamins they need to thrive.

• trace minerals and essential minerals for horses
  
• vitamins including natural Vitamin E

BetaVet now has your favourite KAVA FREE calmer in a paste!  

As we all know, some of the best performance horses are often the most highly strung and quirky. 
Young horses also benefit greatly from the use of natural calming agents.

Two well researched herbs Chamomile and Hops of medicinal grade have been especially imported from Germany and blended in Steady Steed to replace both the anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) and muscle relaxant effect of Kava. 
Along with Californian Poppy and Passionflower, this combination helps prevent the chain of biochemical reactions that create the "fight or flight" hormones such as adrenalin that causes the highly strung behaviour associated with stressful events.

VetPro Equine Athletes Muscle Max

Muscle Max is a feed supplement formulated to maximise the efficiency of muscle metabolism. It does this in two ways, by improving lean muscle mass and by reducing the effects of post exercise muscle fatigue. A large part of the daily energy requirement of the equine athlete is used by the skeletal muscles to power the contractions that give the horse its attributes of speed, endurance and strength.

The energy from feed is stockpiled in the muscles in the form of glycogen. Through a chain of biochemical reactions within the muscle cells, the glycogen is oxidised to release Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) the chemical energy source used to power the muscle cells. The oxidation process requires large amounts of oxygen, hence the need for an efficient blood supply.

The waste products from this energy burning process include water, carbon dioxide, ammonia, lactic acid and free radicals, all of which have the potential to reduce muscular efficiency. Free radicals can cause serious damage to the muscle cell membrane. It is these free radicals, in conjunction with the waste ammonia and lactic acid, that many equine sport scientists believe are responsible for muscle fatigue and post exercise muscle soreness.

Antioxidants are substances that have the ability to inactivate the free radicals within the cell. There are many nutritional antioxidants, mostly found in plants. Muscle-Max is an antioxidant supplement that contains stabilised rice-bran. Rice bran is a rich source of glycerides, free fatty acids, phospholipids and glycolipids. Its principle antioxidants are the tocopherals, tocotrienols and gamma oryzanol, as well as inositol, phytic acid and choline. Vitamin E is one of the Tocopherols found in Muscle-Max, but it is the tocotrienols that are 50 times more potent than Vitamin E, that makes rice branl such a potent antioxidant formulation.

Gamma Oryzanol is a natural component of rice bran and as well as acting as an antioxidant, it has also been shown to reduce muscle fatigue and improve appetite.

Muscle Max also contains chromium picolinate, which is  is not an antioxidant but is an active chromium salt used as a natural nutritional supplement. Supplementing horses with low levels ensures sufficient chromium is available to the horse to ensure it can maintain muscle homeostasis.

In summary Muscle-Max combines the antioxidant properties of stabilised rice bran and along with chromium picolinate helps to reduce muscle fatigue and post exercise muscle damage. It is a 100% natural product that can be used right up to and during competition. It is formulated with an apple flavour that horses find palatable.

Equine Athlete Quicklyte Paste ea

• Equine Athlete QUICKLYTE PASTE Contains electrolytes & chelated minerals for fast replacement of loss from sweat. Ideal for pre & post race or competition

Quick-lyte paste is a combination of electrolytes and chelated minerals formulated in a single dose syringe. One 30ml dose syringe replaces the electrolytes lost in 2 litres of sweat. Because the electrolytes in Quick-lyte are present in a highly absorbable form, they are rapidly absorbed from the horse’s stomach. Quick-lyte uses a patented carrier that ensures the stability of the electrolytes and minerals during storage and also gives the product its free-flow properties that make it easy to use. After taking Quick-lyte, horses have a strong desire to drink so it is important that fresh drinking water is made available. This makes Quick-lyte ideal to use before and after long float trips. How often do you hear of horses who won’t drink when they travel away from home? Quicklyte will trigger a response to drink and often then to eat.

How Hydra-flex CARE offers the best supplement for stiff horses:

A lack of joint lubricant combined with general wear and tear results in poor cartilage health. This causes remodelling, bone spurs and degenerative joint disease in horses.

When cartilage begins to deteriorate, movement becomes stiff with joints become inflamed and sore. Eventually, this friction results in the joint ends eroding away to the point where cartilage disappears and the joint ends touch. This bone on bone is also known as osteoarthritis causing the animal pain, inflammation and reduced quality of life.

Hydra-flex CARE the best supplement for stiff horses is a premium specialised supplement for aging joints and joint stiffness. It can also be used as a preventative to maintain great joint health. Hydra-flex Care contains high strength ingredients to encourage healthy cartilage and synovial fluid as well as providing comfort and ease to movement. Hydra-flex contains 100 % active ingredients and is free of fillers.

Benefits of Hydra-flex CARE:

Scientifically proven ingredients and levels:

Glucosamine benefits at oral administration of 10,000 or more is demonstrated to be an integral part of helping to strengthen, maintain and protect cartilage (ref: American Journal of Veterinary Research Medicine, 2008). It also demonstrated in a study to reduce inflammation inside the joint capsule on young horses after joint trauma.  (ref: Journal of Animal Health 2016, 94: 3294-3302).

MSM benefits supports muscular, skeletal and connective tissues as well as controls inflammation in the body. High levels of MSM at a rate of 20 grams daily was demonstrated in clinical assessments to effectively reduce inflammation in horses. The pathway is not entirely known but it is thought sulphur lowers inflammation be lending a donor (Sulphur) molecule that is used in the pathways for internal reactions. MSM also has a solvent action enhancing the effect of substances.

Hyaluronic acid benefits also known as HA is a primary component of the synovial fluid providing a slip surface. This “slip” helps to lessen friction on cartilage surfaces and with its very hygroscopic properties, it binds many times its on weight in water also keeping the cartilage hydrated and healthy. Cartilage bathes in the joint capsule and it is here where it absorbs its nutrition from the body.

High molecular weight hyaluronic acid is the only form that should be used for oral consumption in horses. This form is superior to low molecular weight HA as cell receptors recognise this as being similar to native HA (the HA the body naturally manufactures). This is proven by science to be the best absorbed and as a result is the hyaluronic acid of choice in equine joint supplements (ref: Journal of applied Nutrition, volume 54, 1, 2004), Therefore, high molecular weight HA is the only hyaluronic acid that provides proven joint benefits. Beware of low molecular weight hyaluronic acids, as this is inferior and cannot be regarded to provide the same joint benefits.

Collagen Peptides benefits proven by science to be the most absorbable form of collagen encouraging healthy bone, cartilage, skin, tendons and ligaments and repair.

Clinical studies have been impressive showing regeneration of damaged cartilage cells.

As collagen is lost when the body ages this has becomes an important component in maintaining joint as well as connective tissue health.

Devils claw benefits a highly concentrated form offers high potency at a low dose for more protection of joints.

Scientific studies show devils claw extract to be highly effective as an anti-inflammatory and relief ingredient by blocking the pain mediators that cause and initiate sore, inflamed joints.

Inflammation is damaging and therefore it is important this is controlled.

The process of inflammation releases enzymes which weaken tissue and cartilage, accelerating damage to cells and pain and swelling.

Why use Hydra-flex Care the best supplement for stiff horses?

Hydra-flex Care the best supplement for stiff horses! contains a potent blend of ingredients to help nourish joints and increase the comfort and flexion in your horse.

Much like us horses become stiff and arthritic as they age from either a joint trauma or due to wear and tear over time.
