MMP Stop Solution™
Your first-response formula for acute laminitis to stop sudden hoof soreness
When a laminitic episode begins, hoof damage happens fast.
MMP Stop Solution is designed to shut down the flood of MMP enzymes that triggers laminae separation, helping stop further hoof damage before it worsens
If your horse shows these signs:
- sudden hoof soreness
- the classic camped-out stance
- sweet grass / grain overload
- early signs of founder
This is the formula to have on hand and use immediately.
MMP Stop Solution:
- Works quickly during acute laminitic episodes
- Helps stop laminae separation before further damage
- Ideal after sweet grass, grain overload, and sudden soreness
- A must-have “barn first aid” formula for at-risk horses
How MMP Stop Solution Works During a 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.
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 MMPs 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.
Read Dr. Thomas' article "The Relationship Between Natural Hoof Wall Growth and Laminitis" to gain a greater understanding of MMPs in Hoof Wall Growth and their contribution to a laminitic episode.
Dosage for an Acute Laminitc Episode: 6 scoops 2X per day for 3 - 5 days
Do not give Natural Pain Relief along with MMP Stop during the first 48 hours of a laminitic event.
