Seabuck Complete: A ‘Complete’ Nutritional Supplement for the Racing Horse

A horse’s digestive system is one of the most delicate yet complex bio-systems in the animal world. The nutrient values of the feed are only extracted when the overall system works well and the horse eats and drinks well; something easier planned than achieved in a stressful training environment.

The economic cost of digestive system problems for the racing industry is quite astounding. The cost of a horse out of work or not being able to be raced because of Gastric Ulcers (EGUS) for example, can be substantial and with EGUS often being a long-term problem this can potentially add up to many dollars of lost earnings. Early detection and management of EGUS is therefore vital not only for the health and well-being of the horse but also to the value of the investment. Investing in a supplement such as Seabuckthorn Complete will, in the long-term, save money.

Seabuckthorn plants and fruit contain every single vitamin, mineral, and nutrient that horses need. SeaBuck Complete includes all the elements of raw Seabuckthorn, plus, it is made from berry juice pulp that is structured to offer the shelf life trainers need, and the taste benefits horses need to assist in proper eating habits. It offers more than one hundred and ninety bioactive substances. SeaBuck Complete contains many kinds of substances such as Terpenes- powerful alkaloids that promote good health- and flavones such as Quercetin, which are considered to be some of the most exciting compounds in antioxidant research.

Some of the surprising compounds found in Seabuck Complete are the fatty acids and lipids. These substances are not usually found in fruit. SeaBuck Complete provides twenty-two essential fatty acids, including Omega 3, 6, 7, and 9. Essential fatty acids are constantly being revealed as key building blocks assisting proper operations of many of the body’s vital organs. More than forty lipids are also found in the fruit.

Benefits of SeaBuck Complete Gastric Ulcers

Ingredients in SeaBuck Complete have been shown to help prevent and reduce gastric ulcers. Several studies on pubmed.com validate this, as does an independent study in which horses confirmed to have gastric ulcers were fed SeaBuck Complete. Trainging and feeding were unaltered; only SeaBuck Complete was added to their programme. At the end of the sixty-day period, the horses were shown to have reduced gastric ulcers. Further studies are ongoing with excellent results being achieved, including preventative ant-ulcer effects. Compounds active in the protective and curative effects on gastric ulcers may involve the fatty acids, B-carotene, a-tocopherol, and B-sitosterol found in SeaBuckthorn.

Sperm Motility

Ingredients in SeaBuck Complete have been shown to increase sperm motility. Several studies on pubmed.com validate this, as do several independent studies featuring horses with less than twenty percent motility. At the end of a minimum sixty-day period on SeaBuck Complete, these same horses showed increased motility of up to eighty-five percent.

Joint, Bone, hoof and Ligament Strength

SeaBuck Complete contains Quercetin, one of nature’s strongest anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory agents Quercetin, along with other inherent Flavonoids, help improve and prevent arthritic conditions and assist in structural bone and hoof strength and recovery.

Coat

The Omega complex and fatty acids coupled with other nutrients improve coat condition dramatically. This beautiful coat is an outward reflection of the overall health of the horse.

Performance and temperament

The natural proprietary blend also promotes top performance and a mangeable temperament . The naturally balanced organic nutrients available in SeaBuck Complete give the horse the building blocks he needs to reach his full potential.

SeaBuck Complete offers all the following Features and in a totally natural food supplement.

• Seabuck Complete is a nutritionally dense supplement with complete Omega complex (3, 6, 7 and 9) with over one hundred and ninety nutrients.
• High natural anti-oxidant content
• Organic whole-fruit nutrition readily digested and absorbed
• Complete and balanced by nature with no other nutrients added or needed
• Backed by more than one hundred and thirty published health studies
• Advanced mirco and macro mineral content
• Helps prevent and reduce gastric ulcers.
• Extremely palatable and increases appetite and focus

Early Oriental horsemen knew that Seabuckthorn plant parts made their horses healthier and stronger, and that was the extent of their science. There it is, it works! Today we are more sophisticated and have extensive laboratory paraphernalia and test environments that help us identify the many components and the technical benefit and the bottom line is it still works. SeaBuck Complete has been developed to capture the strengths of Seabuckthorn yet provide the horse professional a safe, smart and effective supplement.

Seabuck - Equine Gastric Ulcers

A surprisingly high percentage of horses suffer from gastric ulcers to one degree or another.  Understanding the signs and symptoms is an important part of being a horse owner if you want your horse to be healthy and performing at its best.  

 Which horses are prone to gastric ulcers?

·          90% of Race Horses

·          60% of Performance Horses

·          50% of Foals

·          30% of Leisure Horses

 *approximate percentages

What are equine gastric ulcers?

Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS), a term used to describe horses with gastric ulcers, refers to damage to the horse’s stomach lining from excessive stomach acid.  This acid-induced damage can cause great discomfort, not to mention reduced performance and condition problems.  In some cases, usually in foals, ulceration can be severe enough to cause death.

 What are some of the causes of equine stomach ulcers?

All the risk factors for equine gastric ulcers have yet to be determined, but some of the more commonly encountered ones are presented below.  It is important to note, however, that horses can develop severe ulcers even in the absence of these characteristic risk factors.

·          Diet – As horses’ stomachs are designed for constant foraging, there is a continuous secretion of acid within the stomach.  Prolonged periods without food to neutralize the acid can lead to ulceration. 

·          Training & Exercise – There is a definite association between equine training and gastric ulcers.  Even non-intensive training is associated with a high prevalence of stomach ulcers.  It has been shown that blood flow to the stomach (which helps to remove acid) decreases with exercise – while increased pressure in the abdomen during exercise pushes acid up into the sensitive portion of the stomach.

·          Physical Stress & Illness – Gastric ulcers can occur in response to physiological stress.  Shock, respiratory disease and traumatic injury may play a role.  Equine transportation and stable confinement are proven risk factors in causing ulcers.

·          Psychological stress – While psychological stress is difficult to evaluate in horses and foals, stressful conditions may adversely influence feed intake, resulting in periods of increased stomach acidity.

·           Medication – Some long-term medications can produce adverse gastric effects,  as they may inhibit production of the substances that help to protect the stomach.

 How  can you tell when your horse has gastric ulcers?

The signs of gastric ulcers can be very difficult to recognize, but may include one or more of the following.

• Poor Appetite

• Weight Loss

• Poor Performance

• Dull or Rough Hair Coat

• Behavioral or Attitude Changes

• Mild or Recurrent Colic

 Can gastric ulcers be easily treated?

Once gastric ulcers develop, changes in feed and stabling alone are usually not sufficient to remedy them.  But a vet can treat gastric ulcers, simply and very effectively.  Horses may be able to train and even compete while undergoing treatment.

 Can gastric ulcers be prevented?

You can reduce the potential for gastric ulcers by eliminating the risk factors that have been proven to cause them.  You can also use preventative treatments during times of risk.

 How can SeaBuck Complete help prevent equine gastric ulcers?

Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) is a common medical problem in horses.  Current pharmaceutical treatments are expensive and reduce the acidic environment of the stomach, which may affect digestion.  SeaBuck has recently been the focus of a study at Louisiana State University to evaluate the effects that sea buckthorn berry pulp has on the treatment or prevention of gastric ulcers in horses. SeaBuck Complete contains sea buckthorn berry pulp, which is a rich source of vitamins, omega fatty acids, trace minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and other bioactive substances.

 The study concluded that:

• SeaBuck prevented the worsening of glandular ulcers during feed-deprivation in the horses in the study.

• The horses treated with SeaBuck had fewer and less severe non-glandular ulcers,

•  SeaBuck, containing sea buckthorn berry pulp, may have efficacy in preventing ulcers from forming or existing ulcers from worsening in horses that are stall confined and undergoing a feeding stress.

  Seabuck Complete is a cost effective way to help prevent equine gastric ulcers.  In addition to the benefits it  offers for ulcer prevention, the product also:

•  Helps maintain a healthy shiny coat.

• Helps maintain consistent eating habits during times of stress.

• Provides powerful antioxidants.

• Helps maintain a healthy reproductive function.

• Helps to stimulate hoof growth.

* SeaBuck Complete is a equine supplement made from the nutrient rich sea buckthorn berry.  Some of the benefits include maintaining digestive health, ulcer prevention, a shiny coat, maintaining reproductive health and providing a powerful network of antioxidants. Find out more at www.seabuck.com.

Omega 7 = Healthy Horse

In the past few decades, scientists have researched analyzed and studied the medicinal ingredients found in the sea buckthorn berry.  The health benefits are numerous due to the broad range of nutrients and combinations of nutrients contained in the brilliant orange fruit. One of the most significant findings is the rich amounts of the rare omega-7 fatty acid which is a vital component for cellular support.

What is so impressive about the omega-7 in sea buckthorn is its ability to help moisturize and soothe the sensitive internal organs, in particular the mucous membranes.  Mucous membranes are the lubricated thin layer of tissue that lines the canals, cavities and inside of hollow organs.  They cover the digestive, respiratory and urogenital tracts.   The health of these mucous membranes has a vital effect on overall health.

Consider equine gastric ulcers for a moment.  In general, these ulcers are eroded, irritated and inflamed portions of the mucous membrane that lines the GI tract.  About 80% of horses suffer from ulcers to one degree or another.   These ulcers can cause a discomfort, poor eating habits and diminish a horse’s ability to perform well.

SeaBuck Complete, made from the sea buckthorn berry, helps maintain optimal digestive health and prevents against gastric ulcers.  The omega-7 along with along with many other essential nutrients helps horses look better, feel better and perform better.

Testimonial From Kansas

Here is an email we received at the beginning of July.

"I have to send this email- I do not know if it's even possible but I'm already seeing a difference in Levi!  Today was day 4 of his SeaBuck.  I took him to "slow work" him as I am bringing him back after being off for about a month.  He's been so lethargic and it's been such an effort to make him want to move or run that I just really didn't want to ride him.  I worked him today and see such a difference.  He actually has energy!  I didn't have to beg him to move out. He did it on his own.  He wasn't "hyped up" or "racey,"  just a willing worker.  He was calm as always but you couldn't call him sluggish or lazy today.  I was totally amazed and I am starting to see a glimpse of hope that I'll have my running horse back soon!  He's only a 5 year old, and he's been walking around like a 25 year old with no energy or pep.  I can't wait to see how he improves over the next month or more!"

Testimonial of SeaBuck Complete

"My name is Kammy Maughan and I have a 20 year old gelding "Kiddin" I run on the barrels.  I was having a tremendous amount of trouble with him last year refusing to go in the gate, so much so he was starting to rare and strike when I was trying to get him in.  He is a cribber and while I have never had him scoped suspected he was dealing with ulcers. I started Seabuck in March of this year on the advice of my trainer and Seabuck distributor Sadie Cook-Ricks.  WOW is all I have to say, I was amazed at the difference it made in Kiddin. Not only does he look better he feels better.  I entered the Xtreme Barrel Race in Salina, UT in May and was very nervous about getting Kiddin into the arena as you have to go into a holding pen and then into an alley. Not only did I not have trouble getting him into the holding pen he took off like a rocket into the alley way and I actually had to slow him up a bit.  He never refused me once! I believe in Seabuck and will continue to use the product."

Sincerely,

Kammy Maughan

C-Horse, SeaBuck -- Sounds Like The Perfect Match, Eh?

A little over a month ago, I was approached by a guy named Dusty about trying a product out and seeing the effects it had on Prophet. Well, first off, my very first pony's name was Dusty, so I figured this guy couldn't be all that bad, but secondly, I'm pretty particular about what my horse ingests (ask anyone who's had to feed while I'm away - you nearly need a chemistry degree!). As soon as I got the email, I went to researching, and liked what I saw...

His product, Seabuck Complete, is a liquid made from the seabuckthorn plant that offers anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant functions. It's supposed to be a good, over-all supplement, helping with digestion, skin and coat health, etc... etc... One thing I was curious about was would it help with P's little habit of not eating all that well away from home... I agreed to try it out, as I really didn't see a downside.

So for the last 30 days I've been feeding Seabuck Complete, and I really like the results. First of all, Prophet actually ATE while we were at Lumber River Horse Trials (his prelim move-up). He's also been handling travel very well... not that he's ever been a BAD traveler, but I could definitely feel the difference after a couple hour trailer ride, which now he seems to unload as the same old P, just as he should! He does seem overall happier and more agreeable. I've made a couple of other dietary changes, and I think the combination of everything has led him to be less spooky and more chill. One thing that I wonder about is also the fact that his feet grew over 3/8th of an inch in one month (awesome for him!), and although they've been growing fairly well this year, that's definitely an increase! Don't know if I can thank Seabuck for that, but it does seem likely!

Seabuck Complete has a very informative website. check it out at http://www.seabuck.com/, and read up!

I'm definitely going to be keeping P on it!

Equine Gastro Intestinal Health - SeaBuck

SeaBuck Complete has shown time and time again that it is a very effective product for maintaining equine gastrointestinal health.  Dr. Frank Andrews, DVM is overseeing a study at the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine to more closely observe the effects that the product has on the horses delicate yet demanding digestive system.  The attached article speaks more in depth about equine gastric ulcers and the study that is currently underway.

Ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6

One of the neatest things about the SeaBuck Complete is the balanced ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 fatty acids,  both being critical to the health and well-being of horses.  In most cases, horses get a substantial imbalance between the two fatty acids in favor of Omega 6.  That is the reason why there are so many Omega 3 supplements available on the market.  It is important to note that the proper amount and balance of Omega 3 and 6 are critical to the proper function and health of the digestive system, the skin and coat, the reproductive system the mental state and other equine bodily functions. It is also important to note that not all Omega supplements are created equal. Although the author of this article attached below doesn't have a knowledge of sea buckthorn, the information about omega fatty acids is pretty clear and helpful.  When it comes down to it, with all the different feeds and supplements, the proof is in the pudding.  SeaBuck Complete has a stellar history of being easily absorbed and improving the health of horses in all the ways that a balanced intake of Omega 3 and Omega 6 should.

Top Pro Barrel Racer feeds SeaBuck Complete

Many top pro barrel racers feed SeaBuck Complete to their equine counterparts.  It is very effective at reducing the negative effects of stress in the GI tract helping the horse to feel comfortable during transport and competition.  It has also been very effective in helping horses maintain good eating habits while traveling. WPRA Barrel Racer Christina Richman feeds SeaBuck Complete to her horse, Stitch.

SeaBuck Complete in a natural equine health and performance product. It is made from the nutrient rich sea buckthorn berry and has many benefits including, promoting GI tract health, maintaining a healthy shiny coat, providing powerful antioxidants and maintaining a healthy reproductive system.

Stunning Results - SeaBuck Complete

SeaBuck Complete a Sea Buckthorn-Based Product, Shows Stunning Results in Supporting Equine Health

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah: June XX, 2010 – SeaBuck Equine (www.seabuck.com) LLC, maker of nutrient-rich sea buckthorn berry-based SeaBuck Complete, a natural whole-food product, has been found to be an effective supplement for horses. The superfruit sea buckthorn berry is the main ingredient in the product that has received rave reviews on supporting a healthy digestive function while maintaining a proper gut pH, promoting healthy skin and coat, and supporting reproductive function in horses.

The sea buckthorn berry’s botanical name is Hippophae L., “Hippo” which is derived from the Greek word “hippo” meaning horse and “phaos” meaning to shine. The first recorded uses of the berry dates back to the 12^th Century when famous warriors including Genghis Khan were documented as powering their horses with sea buckthorn to increase their stamina and give them the ability to recover from combat more rapidly.

According to Dusty McMullin, Vice President of SeaBuck Equine,” In a study conducted by the College of Veterinary Medicine at University of Tennessee, SeaBuck Complete was shown effective in preventing the worsening of ulcers during stress in 88% of the animals tested.” He added, “In addition to the scientific evidence, we have hundreds of testimonials from horse breeders, trainers and owners touting the effectiveness of SeaBuck Complete for a horse’s overall well being.”

The advanced studies of agronomists and veterinarians validate the power of the unique compounds found in the sea buckthorn berry.

The sea buckthorn berry contains:

·         Bio-molecules that help support everything from an animal’s disposition to its circulatory system

·         Over 190 bio-active compounds

·         A significant amount of Omegas 3, 6 and 9 and is also a rich source of the most elusive essential fatty acid, Omega-7, a naturally occurring component that keeps free radicals at bay.

The source for SeaBuck Equine’s sea buckthorn berry is high in the Himalayan Mountains where some of the most extreme weather conditions exist. It is from this variance in temperature that the berries literally fortify themselves by taking full advantage of elements available in the nutrient-rich soil and, in doing so, survive the harshest conditions on the planet. The result is a bright orange filled-with-nutrients-berry that has been recognized in the Eastern hemisphere as a potent source for treating numerous ailments and conditions for centuries. Its tremendous powers are now showing incredible advancements in the care of horses in the Western World.

SeaBuck Testimonial

This is a testimonial recently sent in by Kim in Eugene Oregon.

"I've been using Seabuck for 6 months now on my 6 yr. old Paint mare.  I had previously been using herbs to try and heal her ulcers.  I did some research on sea buckthorn on healing human ulcers and googled it for equines and found SEABUCK COMPLETE.  I immediately ordered it and started giving it to my mare, within 3 days there was a significant difference!  I went from previously not being able to ride my horse, to this weekend riding my horse on the beach for 4 hours in heavy sand!  Now that is extreme difference in health and endurance!  I forgot to mention she is also 2 months pregnant with Clinton Anderson's stallion "Jag".  My mare should have been the most tired horse but instead she was in the best shape and had the most endurance of any horse on the ride!  The picture is of her after the 4 hour ride, still fresh and could have rode longer!  I'm sold on this product and highly recommend it to anyone that wants their horse in the best shape they can be."

Antioxidants & Free Radicals

The Scoop on Free Radicals & Antioxidants

Whether you are a performer, a trainer, a breeder or a weekend rider, you want your horse to be healthy and performing at its peak. As you read and learn about the many different equine products that claim valuable health benefits, you will hear several terms that are often talked about but rarely explained. This article will briefly explain the important details surrounding the terms free radicals and antioxidants .

As a horse’s body functions on a daily basis, it is continually breaking down the nutrients from what it eats to obtain the energy it needs. This process is called oxidation. The level of activity determines the rate of oxidation. As the horse rests, the rate of oxidation is at its lowest level. However the rate of oxidation increases dramatically during times of stress, exercise, competition, growth, pregnancy, lactation, illness or even old age. During these times of rapid oxidation, the horse’s body more quickly breaks down nutrients (like protein, carbohydrates, and fat) to produce the increased energy it needs. This is where free radicals come into play. Think of them as bandits that wreak havoc on the horse’s body. Without getting too technical, they are molecules in the body that can be destructive to healthy cells. Free Radicals are generated as the horse’s oxidative process becomes overwhelmed by the stressful activities referred to above.

In reasonable amounts, free radicals are necessary to the proper function of the immune system, as they help destroy invading foreign organisms. On the other hand, larger amounts of circulating free radicals are harmful. They can cause tissue damage and cell death by destroying cell proteins, DNA, and fatty acids. Excessive amounts of free radicals leads to fatigue and damage of vital tissues such as muscle, nervous tissue, and skin. It can also lead to illness due to a decrease in immune function.
Now comes the exciting part about the antioxidants. The antioxidants are the soldiers that combat the serious damage caused by the free radicals (bandits). Antioxidants such as vitamin E, vitamin C, flavonoids, carotenoids ,glutathione, and selenium, to name a few, all have protective action against this damage.

Message in a Nutshell
The most important point to remember is that free radicals (bandits) increase as strenuous or stressful activity increases (exercise, competition, pregnancy, illness, etc). The best way to prevent serious damage is to continuously provide the horse with sufficient antioxidants (soldiers) to keep it healthy. This includes a balanced diet with all the essential vitamins and minerals that a horse needs to function properly.

In many cases supplementation is necessary to give the horse all of these essential nutrients. SeaBuck Complete is a natural equine health and performance product that provides many of these powerful antioxidants. Made from the nutrient-rich sea buckthorn berry, it is easily absorbed and promotes long term health.

FORUM LINK - SEABUCK

SeaBuck Complete = Improved Stallion Motility

Studies out of Texas A&M University show that omega-3 fatty acid supplements have improved sperm function in stallions, specifically with respect to sperm longevity. Dickson Varner, DVM of Texas A&M University's Department of Large Animal Clinical Science says that the sperm are more susceptible to oxidative damage when more unsaturated fatty acids are incorporated into the membrane. He recommends Vitamin C and Vitamin E as antioxidants that combat this volatility.

In non clinical studies, SeaBuck Complete has shown remarkable improvements in stallion sperm motility. After reviewing the research at Texas A&M, the results we have seen with SeaBuck shouldn't come as a surprise. Among the main nutrients found in SeaBuck Complete are Omega 3, Vitamin C and Vitamin E.
