Laminitis may be usually more associated with the arrival of spring, lush grass and the need to limit the time horses and ponies can graze.  In reality the condition can develop at any time of the year and may range from a hint of lameness to potentially fatal ‘sinking’. 

X-Lam Aid from GWF Nutrition is a new, comprehensive, complementary nutritional support for horses and ponies susceptible to, or recovering from, the effects of laminitis.   A combination of healthy digestive functioning created through careful grass management and specific nutritional support during grazing periods is crucial.

Vigilance on the part of the equine owner is important, especially where horses and ponies are prone to the problems associated with eating too much high sugar content grass.  X-Lam Aid pellets and the complementary X-Lam Aid Liquid are designed provide the careful owner with a nutritional tool to help establish and maintain the horse’s vitality and performance.

Developed with and approved by specialist equine veterinary practices, X-Lam Aid is made to help maintain healthy, normal growth and the integrity of hooves. It also helps to maintain stable digestion in the hindgut by supporting a high population of beneficial bacteria and promotes normal, healthy blood flow to all areas of the body, including the mucosal lining of the gut and the extremities of the hooves.

X-Lam Aid Pellets contain several nutricines, including Collagen Matrix, the body’s natural glue, crucial for all connective tissue, and so important for the base membrane of the foot.

X-Lam Aid Pellets are available in 10.5kg buckets and are manufactured exclusively in Britain by GWF Nutrition, the makers of Equilibra.
