Extra Strength Formula for Skeleton, Joints and Hoofs

A combination of Stomamin, Renemin and Ligamin support healthy joints by supplying fresh oxygenated blood and supports the body’s ability to create its own glucosamine. This in turn supports the generation of joint fluid. Stomamin is important for enzyme activities and to regulate the insulin level in the blood.

The skeleton in a horse contains 205 bones and the body needs silicon to make bones, cartilage and connective tissue. The bones may be hard but they’re also living tissue which constantly breaks down and rebuilds.

The skeletal muscles are the horse’s energy source. Nutrients, from metabolism, are carried to the muscles via the blood circulation, and the muscles make the fuel that supplies the energy.

The connective tissue has an extensive blood circulation. The  capillaries (the smallest blood vessels) form a very close net in the connective tissue. The majority of the muscle fibers are situated close capillaries.

The hoof is stable, elastic and very resistant and for the horse, an important tactile organ. The hoofs have a rich blood circulation and in the deeper parts of the hoof the pedal and navicular bursae and bones are located.

The Muscles and Connective Tissue
The skeletal muscles are the horse’s energy source. Nutrients, from metabolism, are carried to the muscles via the blood circulation, and the muscles make the fuel that supplies the energy.
A horse’s skeletal muscles are very well developed and specially evolved for rapid movement.

The connective tissue has an extensive blood circulation. The capillaries (the smallest blood vessels) form a very close net in the connective tissue. The majority of the muscle fibers are situated close to a capillary.

The Hoof
The hoof is stable, elastic and very resistant and for the horse, an important
tactile organ. Three layers of horn, the top layer, the ground border of the wall and the insensitive laminae form the hoof. These three layers are intimately connected and form a unit, ”the wall”. Inside the horn the hoof meat is contained. The corium produces or secretes keratin and forms the horn.

The hoofs have a rich blood circulation and in the deeper parts of the hoof the pedal and navicular bones are located.

The deep digital flexor tendon is attached to the lower side of the pedal bone. The navicular bursa lies between the navicular bone and the deep digital flexor tendon.

The bottom of the hoof consists of the sole and frog. The sole is concave towards the frog and is made of softer horn than the wall of the hoof. The frog consists more of elastic keratin than the sole or wall of the hoof does.

The mechanism of the hoof is the motion generated in the hoof while exposed to pressure or concussion.

Functional irregularities
Decreased blood circulation in the muscles of the shoulders and hindquarters affect the blood circulation all the way down into the hoof. If there is bad circulation in the hoof they will be dry from the inside.  It will be a base for cracks.

Through the extreme pressure the hoof is exposed to, during trotting or galloping, the position of the hoof must be correct.

When allowed to grow too long, the hoof is likely to receive a hoof crack. A hoof crack is not normal; it is the result of neglect.

Laminitis hoof may be a common expression for an overgrown hoof. Fodder poisoning can cause laminitis. The researches have shown that disturbance in the horse insulin production can cause laminitis. Also if the horse is given very cold water it can cause laminitis.

Pro-Combo #4 is a food supplement. It contains glucosamin, vitamins and minerals which are important for healthy skeleton, joints, muscles, ligaments and hooves.
