EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE WITH BONEKARE®

In the world of equine care, understanding the nuances of your horse’s health is paramount. One critical aspect often overlooked is the impact of Vitamin K1 deficiency, especially in horses living in stalls. This is where BoneKare® steps in, transforming the approach to equine bone health with a daily dose of vitality.

UNLOCK THE FULL POTENTIAL OF YOUR HORSE’S HEALTH WITH BONEKARE®

THE HIDDEN CHALLENGE OF STALL CONFINEMENT

Stall confinement, while necessary for various reasons, poses a significant challenge to your horse’s bone health. When horses are removed from their natural, Vitamin K1-rich environments (lush, green pastures) they face a rapid decline in bone density, with noticeable effects within just 7-10 days. This isn’t just a minor hiccup in their health; it’s a pressing issue that can lead to long-term consequences if not addressed promptly.

VITAMIN K1: THE CORNERSTONE OF BONE HEALTH

Vitamin K1 plays a crucial role in supporting not just the bone health of horses, but also their overall vitality. Through natural conversion, it’s a key factor in the activation of osteocalcin, a protein that transports calcium and binds it in bones, thus enhancing bone formation and strength. However, Vitamin K1 comes with its challenges. The first significant challenge is the amount required daily to activate the bone building proteins, and secondly, its instability; it degrades under UV light and loses potency hours after pasture is cut for hay. This makes it difficult for horses living in stalls to receive adequate amounts of this essential vitamin through their diet alone as their hay is vitamin K1 deficient, and especially for horses in training, as they often do not have enough time in their daily schedule to graze and consume the necessary amount of fresh grass to meet their Vitamin K1 requirements.

BONEKARE®: YOUR HORSE’S DAILY SHIELD AGAINST BONE DENSITY LOSS

BoneKare® bridges the nutritional gap, providing the meticulously formulated, patent protected vitamin KQ®. A stable and potent source of water-soluble, bio available Vitamin K1 to support and maintain bone density, even in horses that are stall-confined. By incorporating BoneKare® into your horse’s daily regimen, you’re actively combating the effects of Vitamin K1 deficiency head-on. This daily dose of vitality may help your horse’s bones to remain strong, resilient, and less susceptible to injuries that are all too common in the equine world, thus empowering your horse to achieve their full health and performance potential.

WHAT VETERINARIANS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT BONEKARE®

  • "I recommend my clients use BoneKare for cases of developmental orthopaedic disease and bone injuries in young stock."

  • "The administration of BoneKare for about 6 months on a 15 year old gelding with lameness due to a navicular bone cyst showed an amazing result upon the follow up Xray. The cyst was no longer visible 6 months after treatment started."

  • "I started a weanling on BoneKare after the identification of a stifle OCD lesion. Follow up rads demonstrated remarkable healing of the OCD lesion after 5 1/2 months. Clinical impression suggests that BoneKare has a real effect on bone remodeling and development."

  • "For several years we have been using BoneKare in different indications either as the sole product or as complementary therapy with great success. The good acceptance and high bio-availability are very important and of great benefit."

  • "We have been using BoneKare® since its launch in 2011 with great success. Both the improvement of W-ray findings, in particular on distal and proximal sesamoid bones in young horses, as well as for the supportive treatment of degenerative bone disease of older horses was observed with remarkable results."

  • "We have achieved extremely good results with BoneKare, particularly in young horses with poor calcification of the sesamoid bones and subchondral bone structures. BoneKare influences the bone metabolism during the growth phase in a positive way."

  • "Since 2011, we have been using BoneKare and BoneKare Sport in our practice. Especially in young growing horses the product BoneKare has proven itself in prevention and therapy of growth related ossification problems. Quite often we have been able to observe and document significant radiographic improvements. We use the product BoneKare Sport primarily in sport horses to prevent both generative changes as well as to positively support their healing process."

  • "Due to our central location in the Oldenburg horse breeding region our main focus is in broodmares, foals and breeding horses. BoneKare and BoneKare Sports provide us valuable services in the prevention and treatment of growth related breeding problems. In the phases of particular strain of the cartilage and bone tissue, as in the high pregnancy of the mare or during growth spurts, along with already manifested orthopedic problems of young horses BoneKare offers an effective support in the form of regenerative remodeling of the stressed bone and can thus decrease the severity of long-term damage e.g. osteochondrosis."

  • "For several years now we have been using the feed supplement BoneKare in our equine practice. Indication areas include osteolytic (bone dissolving) processes of the distal  and proximal sesamoid bones along with growth related changes in the bone. (growth joint inflammation, Osteochondrosis). Even with bone cysts and edemas we believe that we were able to witness clinical improvements, or determine a faster healing process."
