Internal Research Results

Scientific study on the effects of EQUINE PRO-STEM supplementation on blood parameters in Thoroughbred horses under heavy training.

Study Design

7 Thoroughbred horses under heavy training supplemented with 10g/day for 21 days

Parameters Analyzed

Comprehensive blood panel including RBC, WBC, electrolytes, enzymes, and proteins

Statistical Method

ANCOVA analysis with serum albumin as covariate for hydration state

Key Findings

Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV)

Increased P < 0.05

Higher oxygen transport capacity

Calcium

Increased P < 0.05

Improved bone health and muscle function

Phosphorus

Decreased P < 0.01

Improved energy metabolism, less acidosis

Sodium

Decreased P < 0.1

Better electrolyte balance

CPK (Creatine Phosphokinase)

Decreased P < 0.1

Better cell membrane integrity, less tissue damage

Research Conclusion

EQUINE PRO-STEM supplementation improved the antioxidant capacity and energy metabolism of training racehorses. The antioxidant activity appears to increase red blood cell lifespan, while improved energy metabolism results in less oxidative stress and better cell membrane integrity. These findings indicate either enhanced antioxidant capacity, more efficient energy production, or both.

Key Observations from 2024 Season

Natural & Safe

Independently tested and certified to not contain any banned substances. A natural product with no synthetic additives.

Sustainable Energy

Natural fats provide slow-burning fuel steadily released, helping maintain endurance over long distances without energy spikes.

Joint Health

Anti-inflammatory properties reduce joint pain. Older horses previously needing regular injections required none in 2024.

Faster Recovery

Reduced muscle fatigue and soreness allowed horses to run more frequently - 10-12 races vs typical 6-7 per season.

Coat & Skin Health

Improved coat shine and skin condition, reducing dry, flaky skin and ensuring horses look as good as they perform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about EQUINE PRO-STEM.

EQUINE PRO-STEM is a combination of two functional oils: castor oil and cashew nut shell liquid (not the nut itself). The active components are ricinoleic acid, cardol, and cardanol. Ricinoleic acid comes from castor oil, with cardol and cardanol coming from cashew nut shell liquid. Vermiculite (silica) is used as a carrier.

The natural antimicrobial activity in EQUINE PRO-STEM has two modes of action (disrupting both monovalent and divalent cations) to disturb and destroy the cell walls of gram-positive bacteria and protozoa. Having two modes of action not only makes the product more effective, but also significantly reduces the chances of resistance developing. EQUINE PRO-STEM is able to target strains of Eimeria, the protozoa that causes Coccidiosis, as well as Clostridium, which causes necrotic enteritis.

The levels of ricinoleic acid, cardol and cardanol get tested in the raw materials, during manufacturing, and of course in the final product. Using NIRS (near infrared spectroscopy) the levels of these three active components can even be tested after it has been mixed in feed.

EQUINE PRO-STEM has received the FAMI-QS Certification, a more stringent and feed additive/premix specific version of GMP. All of the EQUINE PRO-STEM ingredients are approved by AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials).

Phytogenics, or essential oils, can be easily confused with EQUINE PRO-STEM due to the name and that both are plant based. However, phytogenics are made from herbs and spices with some of the most common being: thyme, rosemary, cinnamon, chili, and oregano. The active components of these ingredients are usually not standardized, which results in inconsistent and unreliable performance. The functional oils in EQUINE PRO-STEM are able to pass through the stomach and target the intestinal tract, where the microbial challenge is, whereas some phytogenics get broken down in the stomach.

There has been no evidence or indications of toxicity or risk with over-dosing with EQUINE PRO-STEM. The castor bean plant is occasionally associated with the toxin ricin, however ricin is hydrophilic (water affinity) whereas castor oil is lipophilic (oil affinity). The process used to get castor oil eliminates ricin from contaminating the oil. Castor oil is also a common ingredient for many cosmetic products, as well as used as a laxative on its own.

Quite the contrary, there will be a positive effect on faeces quality. EQUINE PRO-STEM has a dosage of castor oil that can maintain its biological activity, without having a laxative effect. Between the decrease in microbial challenge and improved nutrient absorption, the faeces will be drier and less odorous. Improvement in faeces is commonly the first observed sign of activity after supplementing EQUINE PRO-STEM.

Feed ingredients like acidifiers, pre/pro/syn-biotics, or enzymes can be included at the same time with no counter-indications. If there is a need for antibiotic treatment, the animal's response will be improved with EQUINE PRO-STEM due to improved overall health and immune response.

The activity of EQUINE PRO-STEM can handle a 5-year shelf life from date of manufacturing. The product should be kept out of direct sunlight and avoid getting wet (high humidity has no effect). The active ingredients can also handle high temperatures and are unaffected by extrusion, even for dog food (at ~150°C). EQUINE PRO-STEM can undergo any processing for feed (pelleting, crumbles, extrusion, etc.) without losing activity or disrupting feed quality.

Recommended Dosage

Simple, effective supplementation for optimal results.

Daily Supplement
10g

Per day per horse

Based on extensive research, the recommended dosage of EQUINE PRO-STEM for horses is 10g per day, to be added to their feed as a supplement.

When to Start

EQUINE PRO-STEM should be supplemented to the feed ration of horses at the earliest stage possible.

  • Including the product in early stages increases probability of healthy, well-performing animals throughout their lifespan
  • The longer EQUINE PRO-STEM is included in the diet, the better performance the animal will have
  • When added to parent feed rations, resulting offspring will be healthier and off to a better start
