The following herbal solution WILL stop an acute laminitic episode if given very near the trigger event. Most of the hoof damage from a laminitic event occurs during the forty eight hours after the trigger "moment."
MMP Stop Solution
For an acute laminitic episode
The actual laminae separation/stretching occurs shortly after a trigger "event" and comes about through a floodgate release of the enzyme known as MMP (matrix metalloproteinase) leading to coffin bone rotation. In a healthy system, this enzyme is well regulated and its release provides the "flexibility" in connective structures the hoof needs for healthy hoof wall growth. But when there is an overload of toxicity in the blood, this enzyme's inhibitory function fails and the floodgate opens.
Grass Founder is one example of how the release of MMPs becomes uncontrolled. The fructans (sugar and carbohydrate aspect) in grass are quickly fermented by the bacteria in the hind gut (colon) of the horse. A high intake of fructans dramatically changes the bacterial population in the hind gut causing a massive overgrowth of the bacteria known as Streptococcus bovi. This damages the lining of the colon releasing toxins into the bloodstream. When these toxins reach the hoof they cause an unrestricted release of MMPs and initiate laminae separation.
Our MMP Stop Solution quickly blocks the toxic overload at the hoof. The prevention of further contamination of the hoof with toxic blood restores the MMP regulation to a state where laminae separation is stopped. When the regulation of the MMP's is reestablished, the hoof can begin to heal. We advise keeping this product on hand if your horse has a predisposition or a history of laminitis.
Do not use MMP Stop with Natural Pain Relief Solution. Use only with EMS/Cushing’s/IR Solution
