What does the Montmorillonite Formula do?

This formula with 76 oligo-elements provides the necessary trace minerals to the diet of the horses that are suffering from a lack in the food. It is recommended for those cases where there is a visible abnormal change in the hoof structure, the hair condition, the absorption of nutrients, the energy level, the body defenses and the general health condition. It is recommended for cases of laminitis, to help in its prevention and treatment.

How does it work in the Laminitis prevention?

The chemical compound, Humic Montmorillonite, absorbs toxins and provides the necessary trace elements to allow the liver and other organs to produce the necessary enzymes to detoxify the blood, which in turn damage the perypherical circulation, which includes the Laminae of the hoof. Therefore, avoiding the damage of those micro-blood vessels, it prevents the laminitic damage.

How does it work on an existing Laminitis?

By the same principle it prevents it, the absorption of the toxins that generated the episode of Laminitis, is the first step of the healing process. Then, the alumino-silicate portion of the montmorillonite (silica) stimulates the Mesodermal Cell Production, which stimulates the growth of fibre tissue, hair, skin and Hoof. The speed of growth is such, that the laminar  structures regenerate at a very accelerated pace. A growth of 1.5 inches in 6 weeks has been seen, which is (pretty much) unheard of. This depends on the quantity of Trace Minerals administered. Another reason for the fast growth of the hoof is the increase of the enzymes produced by the administration of the Power Horse Minerals.

What is the recommended dose?

The recommended dose for a 1,100 lb horse is 2 oz daily, as a supplement to prevent Laminitis. For treatment of an acute case, it is advisable to double or triple the dose, depending on the severity of the situation; at least during the initial 10 to 15 days of treatment. For chronic cases, a daily dose of 2 oz will be enough, so long as the results are expected within a period of 30 to 60 days.

What is the effect of Power Horse Montmorillonite on the dietary intake of the horse?

After several months of supplementation, the horse will start to eat more forage than grain. Up to 20% less grain, to maintain the same body weight. It also generates a wide variety of enzymes that aid in the digestive process.

Is it best to treat Laminitis with the Power Horse Montmorillonite alone, or together with the traditional treatments?

It is best to treat laminitis with the Power Horse Montmorillonite along with the traditional treatments, although a high dose of painkillers and other drugs might interfere with the liver function, which is responsible of manufacturing most of the enzymes; therefore, reducing the beneficial effect of the minerals.

What difference is there between the use of the Power Horse Montmorillonite and other products such as the lysine and methionine for hoof growth?

The use of the Power Horse Montmorillonite allows for a very fast growth of the corneal material of the foot, while maintaining it hard and elastic. In our observations, the quality of the foot does not improve with lysine and methionine, only the speed of growth. In other words, if the hoof was previously scaly and soft, it will continue to grow that way, without any improvement in hardness and elasticity; those conditions required to prevent laminitis.

Can these products be given together with the Power Horse Montmorillonite?

Yes. There is no problem in doing that, but is not necessary.
