NUTRITIVES - Ayurveda
For Thoroughbred and Standard Bred Race Horses


History of using Ayurveda on Race Horses

Ayurveda has been practiced in India for more than 5,000 years. "Ayus" means age or life-span and "Veda" is wisdom or true knowledge. Ayurveda is the science and wisdom of life and self-healing. This includes not only diet, exercise, and yoga but also herbs. After his many visits to India and countless hours of study, Ray Rosenthal (our formulator) became an international expert in Ayurveda and the Indian herbs. Dr. R.P. Trivedi, Ray's mentor was considered to be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in Botany and was a world-renowned expert in Ayurveda. In 1994, Dave asked Ray if there were any Ayurvedic herbs that could help his and Rich's racehorses' well being. They help people, so why not horses?


Of course there were, but research was necessary to find the best possible combinations of herbs for horses. Dr. Triveda actually researched the ancient Sanskrit literature to help Ray. He spoke to many other experts from India, too. Ray also contacted Dr. R.H. Singh who he (like numerous others) considered to be "the #1 Ayurvedist in India." In a letter to Ray, Dr. Singh wrote, "I always believe that it is in the interest of Ayurveda as well as in our national interest and in the interest of humanity at large that Ayurveda come on the world map...In this reference your efforts to promote Ayurveda in the USA is laudable. I shall be happy to collaborate." Dr. Singh is a Professor and Chief Consultant Physician in the Dept. of Internal Medicine and is the Dean of Ayurveda Faculty at Banaras Hindu University (perhaps the leading University in India). In his 30-year academic career, Prof. Singh has authored 12 books and over 100 research papers in international journals.

The original mix of herbs that Ray and Dr. Trivedi recommended were based on combinations of herbs that have existed in India before mankind and have been used for thousands of years by its people. It is not just the ingredients that are important -- the proportions of the herbs are vitally important, too . When it comes to herbs, more does not equate to better. The same herb combined with different herbs will also change the benefits provided by that herb. Equally critical is the way the herbs are processed. For example, extracting active ingredients with alcohol vs. water will provide different benefits from the same herb. In short, the key is which herbs to use, their proportions, quality, potency, and the manner in which they are extracted.

When we tested Ray's recommendations of herbs on our racehorses, the results far exceeded our expectations.

Power Plus+ Extract - Energy and Endurance Products

Power Plus+ Extract (male or female) -- traditionally used for endurance, strength, and energy. The scientific studies state that the herbal extracts in this product help to increase the red blood count and, therefore, the oxygen carrying capacity of the horse -- vital to increase the horses energy (and, naturally, great for race horses). These herbs also help to increase the immune system and help the horse deal with the stress related to the routine and regimen of training.

 

Mobile-Flex Extract - Arthritis & Soreness Products

Mobile-Flex Extract -- traditionally used for arthritis. The scientific tests state that the herbs in this product are more effective that "Bute" and safer than Ibuprofen. More importantly, this product differs from others because it actually help to eliminate some of the scar tissue caused by arthritis after approx. 6 weeks of use (Whitmore's Conn, above, is fed this supplement). For some horses, the ankle fluid actually begins to clear. One trainer told me that she never saw this before. Additionally, the ankles have to be injected less often -- this is common for race horses and older horses.
This saving, alone, pays for the Mobile-Flex. Retail Cost: $120/month's supply.

 

Nutri-Powder Extract - Digestive Products

Nutri-Powder Extract -- traditionally used for digestive problems. As I mentioned on the phone, one of our trainers had a horse that had severe stomach problems after colic surgery. The local vets (at Cal Expo -- race track in Sacramento, CA) couldn't lick the problem. Nutri-Powder did. These herbs help to eliminate the toxins in the system that interfere with the absorption of important vitamins and nutrients -- Therefore, all horses should use it because absorbing more vitamins and nutrients will help make them stronger and healthier. Nutri-Powder also helps rid the digestive system of excess mucous which interferes with digestion. Retail Cost: $60/month's supply.

 

BIO-714

BIO 714 -- This is the topical herbal arthritic cream that we spoke about. It is made from 10 different herbs from India. Simply rub it on gently to relieve pain. It can be used for some soreness, too. One application lasts for 3 - 8 hours depending on the severity of pain and the individual horse. Race horse trainers apply BIO 714 to knees, hocks, and part of the horse's back. Retail Cost: $29/4 oz. jar.
