NitrOxideTM EquineLaminitis/Founder is believed to be caused by insufficient blood flow to a horse's feet. Stress of some kind typically initiates an episode of laminitis. Stress depletes a horse's body of substances such as nitric oxide, which are needed to keep blood vessels relaxed and open.
It is now believed that laminitis is caused by decreased production of nitric oxide. Insufficient production of nitric oxide reduces blood flow to a horse's feet. NitrOxideTM is a nutritional supplement designed to help a horse recover from laminitis by promoting production of nitric oxide.
IMPORTANT:
Anti-inflammatory drugs such as Banamine or "Bute" (phenylbutazone), and certain herbs block formation of nitric oxide. They will inhibit NitrOxideTM from working. All anti-inflammatory drugs and all other anti-inflammatory Supplements or Herbs are to be stopped for at least the first 4-weeks of using NitrOxideTM.
Laminitis or Founder, is a devastating disease that can quickly destroy a horse's career or end its life through euthanasia. Reduced blood supply to the foot is a crucial factor in laminitis, resulting in severe pain and cell death.
Laminitis is usually preceded by stress of some type. Stress depletes the body of chemicals called "neurotransmitters." Certain neurotransmitters are needed for blood vessels to dilate and remain fully open.
Without sufficient amounts of these neurotransmitters, blood vessels tend to stay constricted, which reduces blood supply to a horse's feet. Nitric oxide is a gaseous neurotransmitter that is involved in relaxing the walls of blood vessels. Nitric oxide maintains blood vessels in an open state and enhances blood supply.
