Supplements

Equine Athlete B-Boost Paste

B group vitamins are essential for the conversion of chemical energy that occurs within the muscle fibres. Under grazing conditions, the daily requirement of B Vitamins is produced by the micro-organisms in the large intestine. High grain intake lowers the intestinal PH with a resultant drop in vitamin B production.

A diet low in B Vitamins has shown to have an effect on athletic performance. Human studies have shown that when athletes were restricted to less than half of their daily requirement for vitamins B1, B2 & B6, a significant drop in performance occurred. Similar studies in equine athletes have shown that supplementing with vitamin B1 prior to competition improved performance by reducing the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles.Horses in training benefit from B Vitamin supplementation for several reasons;

1) The production of ATP increases with exercise, therefore so does the requirement for B vitamins.

2) Digestion of high grain diets leads to a fall in the pH of the large intestine, which in turn alters the microflora population. The result is a net decrease in B vitamin production.

3) Studies have shown that supplementing Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) in the diet has the effect of reducing post exercise lactic acid levels.

B Boost paste contains high levels of all the essential B group vitamins in one single oral dose syringe.  It also contains Betaine, which is converted to dimethylglycine in the liver. DMG reduces lactic acid build-up during strenuous exercise.

B Boost contains no prohibited substances so is safe to use prior to competition and should be administered 12 to 24 hours prior to competition, or on a regular basis for poor appetite, or to assist recovery after sickness. Also assists recovery from traveling long distances.

Devils claw for horses in a pure, high-quality natural joint supplement.

The concentration of our devil’s claw requires as little as 3-6 grams!

Administering is therefore easier with less powder in feed and also more palatable to the horse.

It is finely milled for best absorption to supports joints and ease of movement in horses.

Devils claw offers a natural plant-based supplement and more holistic approach to animal care and improving the health of your horse.

Devils claw for horses in a pure, high quality concentrate powder form.

This high strength -powder is ten times stronger than regular devils’ claw. Ordinary devils’ claw for horse’s contains around 1% active harpagoside, whereas our powder contains a standardized 10 % harpagoside.

Understanding Harpagoside in devils’ claw for horses:

Devils claw contains glucosides, with the most important active known as harpagoside.

This compound exhibits anti-inflammatory effects providing potential benefits for inflammatory related conditions.

The amount of devils’ claw and the active of harpagoside are different.

The level of harpagoside must be standardized and laboratory tested to determine its value.

The value of harpagoside for horses should be 385 mg- 770 mg daily or as high as 1500-2500 mg daily for more painful conditions.

What is the dose for NPC devils’ claw?

  3 grams delivers 300g harpagoside
  6 grams delivers 600 mg harpagoside  
  15 grams delivers 1500 mg harpagoside 
  25 grams delivers 2500 mg harpagoside
Regular devils claw powder at a dose of 30 grams delivers around 300 mg harpagoside active.  

To achieve 1500 mg harpagoside then 150 grams of powder would be required. If 2500 mg were required then 250 grams of regular devils claw would be needed.

NPC devils’ claw for horses is therefore more concentrated in harpagoside content, is consistently tested to ensure the standardized level.

The amount required is much less to achieve more benefits, keeping it palatable also for your horse.

We recommend the higher dose (of 15 g-25 g) if the inflammation is high.

Why quality matters

Most devils claw powders are of unknown active as they are dried and chopped root but typically are around 1 % harpagoside.

NPC devil’s claw is a standardized, concentrated root powder tested with each batch to ensure harpagoside content.  

It is then ground and kept fresh in an air-tight pack where it can be administered direct into the feed.

This popular natural supplement for horses helps to support ease of movement, free up stiff horses to older horses and those that need extra support.

How does devils claw work?

Devils claw helps to reduce inflammation which is the body’s reaction to injury and pain.

Clinical studies have shown the active of devils’ claw (harpagoside) to exhibit anti-inflammatory effects when used at the correct dose.

This herbal remedy is often used for horses with arthritis, pain, inflammation or soundness issues.

NPC devil’s claw is a high strength version compared to regular devil’s claw powder enabling you to use less in your horse feed, increase feed palatability while ensuring a high, effective and therapeutic dose. 

The active of devil’s claw is known as harpagoside and where a withholding time is required if competing under FEI rules.

Grand Meadows Grand Hoof 

Powerful Hoof Supplement

• Biotin
• MSM & Methionine
• Zinc, Copper, Lysine and B-6
• Dried Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Postbiotic Fermentation Product

Problems with your horse’s hooves?

Are you tired of losing shoes, dealing with crumbly hoof walls, quartercracks, tender and sore hooves?

Building a healthy hoof is crucial to keeping your horse sound and performing at his best.

Grand Hoof’s original hoof supplement formula was developed over 20 years ago and Grand Hoof Pellets+ MSM offers a very similar product in an extremely palatable 1oz pellet and the addition of 5000mg of MSM.

This potent formula will give you the best and quickest results – the results you and your farrier are looking for.

It is important to be patient with hoof supplements. 

It takes 3-6 months for solid improvement and almost a year for the hoof to completely grow out.

First you’ll see a new healthier band of hoof growth directly below the coronary band.

Biotin – stimulates keratin production in the hoof’s laminae and coronary band to support the hoof wall, frog and white line, minimizing weak walls and cracks and protecting the exterior hoof wall from moisture damage.

MSM & Methionine – increases delivery of hoof building nutrients and supports the connective tissues inside the hoof wall.

MSM and Methionine work as vasodilators, relaxing blood vessels vital to circulating nutrient rich blood into the small capillaries inside the hoof.

Zinc, Copper, Lysine and B-6 – are important for protein and enzyme synthesis for proper hoof repair, and growth.

Dried Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Postbiotic Fermentation Product – supports feed digestibility and utilization.

Keeping your horse’s digestive system in balance and healthy can be a challenge.

Grand Digest is the solution to managing all three stages of digestion and the most comprehensive digestive product available.

Stomach – Grand Digest contains two key ingredients: Toxynil Plus™ and Zeolites to help protect against the absorption of harmful toxins and to absorb excess stomach acids.

Glutamine has been added to support the health and function of the delicate upper mucosal layer of the stomach that can be damaged when excessive levels of acid splash these tissues.

Small Intestine – Grand Digest also supports the function of the small intestine where the vast majority of nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream.

We have used Multizyme™, a comprehensive enzyme blend which support enzymatic breakdown of nutrients, and glutamine which is essential for the maintenance and growth of the important intestinal villi through which all the nutrients pass into the blood stream.

Dried Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Postbiotic Fermentation Product works in the small intestine by breaking down the feed elements to pass more efficiently through the intestinal villi and provides mannooligosaccharides that support the scavenging of harmful bacteria.

Hindgut/Large Intestine – Grand Digest contains a combination of two powerful tools to support bacterial digestion.

Aspergillus oryzae and Dried Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Postbiotic Fermentation Product work synergistically to support the health of the beneficial flora which are vital to the immune system and the production of volatile fatty acids which are responsible for around 30% of a horse’s energy.

There is quite simply no other product that comes remotely close to Grand Digest in regard to its all encompassing approach to supporting the entire digestive process.

Gut-Level Benefits: Dried Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Postbiotic Fermentation Product works as a “prebiotic” food source, supplying a long list of enzymes that increases beneficial bacteria in the hindgut, resulting in improved fiber, protein digestion, and full utilization of all feedstuffs your horse ingests.

Dura-Hoof 1KG — Horse Hoof Growth Supplement

A feed supplement for the promotion of hoof growth in horses. Dura-Hoof is a white powder with a vanilla scent.

Active Ingredients (per 30g dose)

• Biotin — 15.0 mg
• MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) — 2.5 g
• Zinc — 0.45 g
• Methionine (as a complex) — 2.0 g
• Calcium — 9.0 g

Mode of Action

Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin that works in the biosynthesis of proteins, improving the process of keratinisation and the organisation of keratinised connective tissue.

MSM is a naturally occurring sulphur nutrient. Sulphur is important to all tissue but is particularly high in keratins — the proteins predominant in the hoof. Hoof material, built up of keratins, requires sulphur supplementation.

Zinc and Methionine supply adequate daily levels of substances required for keratin formation. Methionine is an essential amino acid and zinc is present in numerous enzymes. Adequate zinc improves the keratinisation process, particularly in the coronary band skin immediately above the hoof.

Calcium is required for the formation of new cell tissue and for the bonding of internal hoof laminae. When combined with biotin and protein, the rate of growth and quality of horn produced is improved.

Indications

For cracked, soft and brittle hooves. To prevent frequent throwing of shoes and to enhance general hoof growth and condition in all types of horses.

Directions For Use

For oral use only. For best results, mix Dura-Hoof into fresh feed each day.

• Treatment — Horses: 30 g daily
• Treatment — Ponies: 18 g daily
• Prevention — Horses: 6 g daily
• Prevention — Ponies: 4 g daily

Continue the treatment dose until the old damaged hoof has been completely replaced by new growth. This will take approximately six months. Once sound hoof has been established, reduce to the prevention dose rate.

Note: A double scoop is enclosed (30 g and 8 g). To facilitate proper adhesion, slightly moisten the grain with water or a liquid supplement.

Note: Dura-Hoof can be safely used on mares in all stages of pregnancy.

Withholding Period

3 clear days in racing.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Replace lid between uses. Shelf life: 2 years.
