Glucogard has been formulated to balance a deficiency in nutrients that frequently leads to an insulin resistance, to circulatory disorders and soft tissue injuries in the hoof. It is recommended to supplement the daily feed ration of horses susceptible to laminitis with Glucogard.<\/p>\n

Specific risk reduction<\/strong><\/p>\n Glucogard has been specifically designed to address the needs of horses suffering from the Equine Metabolic or the Cushing\u2019s Syndrome or horses susceptible to laminitis. In this situation, it is important to increase the tissue\u2019s responsiveness to insulin on the basis of a diet low in grain. According to the latest science findings, this considerably reduces the risk of laminitis. Protecting the hoof complex<\/strong><\/p>\n Circulatory disorders in the hoof complex are known to encourage the development of laminitis, accompanied by decomposition of lamellar horn and corium structures and powered by inflammatory activities. Thus functional nutrients have to fulfil an important task as they have to ensure a sufficient blood circulation and to control the inflammatory activities. Deficiencies in supplementing these active agents in sufficient quantities with the food can lead to a weakened immune system and promote the development of laminitis.<\/p>\n COMPOSITION:<\/strong><\/p>\n INGREDIENTS<\/strong>: Crude protein 20.0% Crude fat 7.5% Crude fiber 7.5% Crude ash 13.0% Calcium 1.0% Phosphorus 0.8% Magnesium 1.0% Sodium 0.9%<\/p>\n Support for horses suffering from the Equine Metabolic Syndrome, laminitis or the Cushing\u2019s Syndrome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":28656,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.distaziofamily.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/161"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.distaziofamily.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.distaziofamily.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.distaziofamily.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=161"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.distaziofamily.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.distaziofamily.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nThe functional nutrients in Glucogard can provide valuable assistance in this respect. The sugar and insulin metabolism depends on B-vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, zinc, manganese and trivalent chromium. Cell-protective vital nutrients such as vitamin E and selenium contribute to the insulin molecule\u2019s integrity and protect the hoof corium against inflammation, additionally assisted by nutrients derived from brewer\u2019s yeast and special fodder herbs which support the insulin with the blood sugar control.
\nGlucogard contains all mentioned active agents in biologically active form, including chromium as component of the brewer\u2019s yeast and supplemented herbs.<\/p>\nBrewer's yeast 38%, herbs (goat's rue, bilberry leaves, meadowsweet, milk thistle seeds,\r\n fenugreek, anise, fennel) 25%, cold-pressed oil blend (linseed, sunflower oil) 6%, \r\nmalt-yeast wort (fermented malt, fermented yeast, inactivated), \r\nmagnesium fumarate\/phosphate\/oxide, ginger, cinnamon, sodium chloride, garlic,\r\n calcium carbonate (marine), artichoke, turmeric, vinegar<\/span><\/pre>\nAdditives per kg:\r\nNutritional physiological additives\r\nVitamin A 3a672a 50,000 IU\r\nVitamin D3 3a671 5 500 IU\r\nVitamin E 3a700 5 500 mg\r\nVitamin B1 3a821 100 mg\r\nVitamin B2 \/ Riboflavin 150 mg\r\nVitamin B6 \/ pyridoxine hydrochloride 3a831 100 mg\r\nVitamin B12 \/ cyanocobalamin 150 mcg\r\nBiotin 3a880 10,000 mcg\r\nCalcium D-pantothenate 3a841 140 mg\r\nCholine chloride 3a890 2,000 mg\r\nNiacin 3a314\r\nL-Carnitine 3a910 25,000 mg\r\nIron as iron (II) sulfate monohydrate 3b103 and\r\nIron (II) glycine chelate hydrate 3b108 150 mg\r\nZinc as zinc sulfate, monohydrate 3b605 and\r\nGlycine zinc chelate hydrate 3b607 2 600 mg\r\nManganese as manganese (II) sulfate, monohydrate 3b503 and\r\nGlycine-manganese chelate hydrate 3b506 3 500 mg\r\nCopper as copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate 3b405 and\r\nCopper (II) glycine chelate hydrate 3b413 850 mg\r\nCobalt as coated cobalt (II) carbonate granules 3b304 20 mg\r\nSelenium as selenium yeast from Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3060, inactivated 3b810 4 mg\r\nIodine as calcium iodate, anhydrous 3b202 1 mg<\/span><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
