Quite Possibly the ONLY Supplement your horse will require!

FACT: Chronic inflammation is affecting your horse everyday, leading to cellular changes, weakening tissues and contributing to joint deterioration. Most supplements do little to impact this inflammation but replace what is being lost as a result of it.

SOLUTION: Support a healthy inflammation response and minimize the impact to enhance overall health and improve joint function beyond traditional joint supplements.

HOW: Curcumin has been demonstrated in research to promote a healthy inflammation response more completely than traditional therapies, by down regulating key enzyme pathways that contribute to the release of many inflammatory proteins that are involved in pain, immune compromise and tissue degeneration. By combining Curcumin with Boswellia and other nutrients, we are able to support a normal level of inflammation effectively and support overall health.

Due to containing high levels of spirulina blue green algae, it is ideal for supporting ovreall skin, hair and hoof health.

What is the difference between Cur-OST and my joint supplement?

Cur-OST formulas are designed to reduce inflammation through the use of Curcumin and other anti-inflammatory herbs. Inflammation is an ongoing problem associated with not only joint deterioration but also many other health conditions. Most joint supplements contain glucosamine & chondroitin, which mainly target cartilage repair by providing nutrients lost as a result of chronic inflammation.

They do provide a small amount of inflammation protection, but Curcumin is much stronger in it action and ability to reduce pain and inflammation.

If you manage the inflammation and provide proper antioxidant therapy, often we find that glucosamine type supplements are not needed. That being said, those same supplements are perfectly safe to use with our Cur-OST formulas and may provide some additional benefits.

What is Inflammation and how does it impact my horse?

The inflammatory response is constantly present in all of us, including horses, and is responsible for healing and immune function in acute cases. The problem comes when the ‘acute’ inflammatory response continues to be present, which can be triggered by many events including stress, aging, diet, competition and training. When the inflammatory response is constantly activated, it can contribute to increased tissue destruction, cellular changes, metabolic problems, immune dysfunction, joint deterioration, tendon injuries and overall pain for the horse. The inflammatory response is important for overall health and MUST be present, but it also must be controlled in order to minimize damage to the body.

Why Use Curcumin?

Curcumin is one of the most heavily researched herbs for reduction of inflammation. One of the biggest reasons is that Curcumin impacts the inflammation process on multiple levels instead of just one or two, like most pain medications. Curcumin inhibits negative cellular pathways, acts as an antioxidant and restores function to the entire body. Curcumin has also been shown to demonstrate very potent anti-cancer properties, likely through the reduction of inflammation. Curcumin has been used for years in Ayurvedic medical cultures for overall health promotion and disease management capabilities. It provides us with a new approach to managing inflammation, pain in our horses.

 

Do I need to continue my other supplements when using Cur-OST formulas?

Our Cur-OST are designed to provide everything your horse needs through the provision of nutrients naturally. In many cases, some of our equine formulas contain Spirulina blue green algae, concentrated Alfalfa or even Pea Protein. These plants are very high in many vitamins, minerals and protein, essentially providing what your horse needs to maintain overall health, support hooves, skin, hair and muscle/tendon support. Many supplements provide vitamins/minerals in their synthetic form, which can be hard to digest and assimilate. The body was designed to assimilate nutrients in their natural form, which is what we provide in our formulas. In the case of the typical horse joint supplement, the main ingredients utilized are glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM, which are fine but only provide what is being lost as a result of ongoing inflammation. If you combat the inflammation effectively and provide nutrients to cellular health, we find that these supplements are no longer needed, which saves you money and provides better results for your horse!

 

Are Cur-OST Equine products safe?
In the Cur-OST research trials conducted at our hospital, we have encountered no negative side effects even at extremely high dosages. We have monitored general health, complete blood chemistry panels as well as cytological parameters in all patients. There have been no negative side effects or alterations in blood panels noted throughout the trial. Cur-OST formulas have been used in patients for over 7 years with no side effects noted. In some instances, there have been reported hypersensitivities to various ingredients, but it is a rarity and not uncommon with any supplement. Based on human research trials, there have been no negative side effects noted in trials up to 3 years in length and at extremely high dosages. Cur-OST has not been evaluated in pregnant animals or animals that are currently lactating.

How is Cur-OST supplied?
Cur-OST Equine products are supplied in a resealable package containing approximately a 28-day supply using a full scoop to the notch inside the rim of the scoop at maintenance levels. It is designed for once daily administration. In moderate to severe conditions, it is recommended to administer an induction dosage of two scoops once daily for 7-14 days, then decrease to one scoop daily for maintenance.

Are there any interactions with commonly used medications or supplements?
We have not encountered any adverse interactions with any prescription medication or commonly used over the feed supplements. Based on the mode of action of Cur-OST products, it is currently recommended to use caution when concurrently administering with commonly used anti-inflammatories such as phenylbutazone, Deramaxx, Previcox, Rimadyl, carprofen, flunixen meglumine or Equioxx. Please consult your physician or veterinarian with any questions or concerns.

Do most horses readily accept Cur-OST products?
Horses are individuals and given this, some are accepting to supplements added to their food source and some are not. Approximately 10% of trial patients were skeptical to the products and resented their flavoring, however this seemed to change over time with an evident increased acceptance. It is to be noted that Cur-OST has a distinct orange-yellow color to the mixture and can stain the handlers skin surface as well as the muzzle of the horse after ingestion. It is to be noted that Cur-OST contains curcumin, which has a distinct yellow color, which can stain the hand, muzzles of the animals as well as other surfaces. The EQ Green product does contain a base of spirulina blue green algae, which does have a distinct flavor and aroma, which may not be suiting to all horses, but is generally accepted by over 90% of patients. The EQ PLUS products do not contain the spirulina and are more easily tolerated to the average horse. Both products do contain a light banana flavor which improves palatability for horses. The EQ IR and EQ IMMUNE products are all naturally flavored and both readily accepted by most horses.

Can I compete my horse while using Cur-OST products?
Our Cur-OST equine formulas do not contain any substances on the banned FEI or USEF list. All ingredients in the products are listed accordingly on our labels. Nothing more and nothing less. Please consult the rule book of your show organization for specifics on illegal substances.

Is Cur-OST safe to administer to pregnant animals?
Cur-OST contains curcumin, which has been show in some research studies to potentially induce premature uterine contractions which could result in early delivery or abortion. At this time we do not recommend its use in animals that might be pregnant.

Why are my hands and buckets stained yellow after use of the products?
Curcumin is a very bright yellow herb and used in the dye industry. Given this, there is a high incidence of staining when utilizing our curcumin based supplements. The staining potential increases as you move up to stronger formulas that contain more curcumin. In most cases, soap and water will clean up the staining, but you may also wear gloves if desired. There are no health implications as a result of the staining or contact with curcumin.

Why are your supplement not in pellets?
Herbs are very delicate and susceptible to heat and moisture. In order to create a pellet or tablet form, heat as well as various binders are needed in the process. The heat can potentially inactivate many of the nutrients found in the herbs and the binders are an unneeded additive to the diet. Powder form is the best form for preservation of nutrients.

  1. Flitastic

    I started the Green formula with zero expectations, I wanted to make sure my 3 year old was starting his performance life off correctly. He was already healthy and happy what more could I need? Wow, the transformation on my ‘healthy’ horse was phenomenal. I didn’t think he could look better! And to know he is getting everything he needs to maintain a healthy career makes it that much more exciting!

  2. Riley Zielinski (verified owner)

    I picked this product for my 3 year old OTTB filly that came to me with a cough that in my opinion, was lasting for way too long upon arrival. I liked that this had Spirulina in it (supports the respiratory tract) and I LOVED that it is, overall, a joint support. After only 2 weeks of use, her cough was completely gone. I almost thought it was a coincidence until I ran out of the product for about a month an a half and her cough (with exercise and highly windy/dusty conditions) returned, though very mild, infrequent, and unconcerning (in my opinion – she had no labored breathing or signs of stress) I know that she is being supported by REAL, proven ingredients and I trust this product to support her growing body.
