This website presented to me as a suggestion on FB today. Could one of our experienced EC/IR members comment on this novel product being offered as a treatment? I question everything these days. 

Thank you!

Total nonsense and a major ripoff at $600 for 24 days - or at any price for that matter. Matrix metalloproteinase is not activated in endocrinopathic/metabolic laminitis. Even if it was, spraying SOD on the feet is a total waste of time. There's no way it would get in. There is also no evidence that oxidative stress activates metalloproteinase.

Hi Rita

I will admit that his bandying about oxidative stress, a hydraulic system, and Desmosomal  bonds, has confounded me for the moment. The first thing that jumped out at me that I knew was an issue however, was matrix metalloproteinase

"First, all swelling involves oxidative stress. Secondly, it creates a hydraulic system. The oxidative stress activates the matrix metalloproteinase. This stress causes the breakdown of the Desmosomal bonds in the lamina if left untreated."

matrix metalloproteinase is a product of laminitis in cases other than metabolic (high insulin) laminitis.  MMP occurs in hind gut driven laminitis like feed room break-in, black walnut, systemic inflammation and lamintis via fructan bolus like that done in the early years by Pollitt.  The testimonial on their page is a case of feed room break in.  https://www.beatlaminitis.com/about

80-90 percent of laminitis cases are caused by metabolic issues, not hind-gut disruption.

Hear that? It’s another one of these laminitis fluff ads going into my garbage can! Thanks!!

Thank you, Nancy! I guess if there’s a buck to be made and a clever website/ad campaign then a few fish will be caught.
