Siliforce is "Winner's Choice"
by Dr. Amy Gill PhD
What is Siliforce Horses R/x?
The faster horses exercise and train, the more strain is put on the legs and the greater the likelihood of an injury. Strong bones are therefore essential for all horses to keep them in training and to increase their average speed. Siliforce Horses R/x is a mineral food supplement for equine bone health and strength. Supplementing the diet with Siliforce Horses R/x reduces the frequency of bone injuries and extends the duration of training before injuries occur. Siliforce Horses R/x thus aids in extending a horse’s career.
The beneficial effects of silicon for equine bone health have long been studied and proven. Studies found that horses in training do not receive adequate amounts of silicon in their diet to support healthy bone growth and strength. The problem that prevented the wide use of silicon supplementation is that very few sources of silicon are absorbed by the horse’s body. The uniqueness of Siliforce Horses R/x is that it contains silicon as stabilized silicic acid, the bio available form of silicon that can be directly absorbed by the horse’s body. Siliforce Horses R/x is the winner’s choice for equine bone strength.

Silicon
Only Siliforce Horses R/x contains high concentrations of bio available stabilized silcic acid in a liquid solution. Furthermore, the stabilized silicic acid molecules have been clustered with selenium and zinc to increase its effectiveness for equine bone health.
Silicon, selenium and zinc are essential trace elements for horses.
Silicon has an important role in bone physiology and metabolism by increasing bone building activity and decreasing bone demineralization activity.
Silicon acts as a regulator for calcium and phosphorus uptake and directly
contributes to a healthy bone cortex and a well-calcified bone matrix.
Silicon plays an important role in the formation of collagen and connective tissue.
Scientific Research
“Horses receiving medium and high doses of silicon were able to log about twice as many miles in training and racing before they incurred injury than did the horses in the control group. Also, the medium-supplemented group had faster race times at middle-distances than the control group. Nielsen does not believe the silicon made the horses faster. Rather, he believes it was the ability to keep the faster horses in training that increased the average speed for the medium-supplemented groups, as opposed to the control group where the fastest horses most likely broke down sooner.” (Nielsen 2001)
“When silicon is
deficient in the diet, the formation of the bone matrix appears to be limited;
potentially resulting in even greater problems than if it is deficient in the
mineralization process. In tissue
cultures of bone and cartilage, bone growth induced by silicon appears to be
mainly due to an increase in collagen content. The formation of glycosaminoglycans, the major polymeric molecule of the
bone matrix, has also been shown to require silicon.” (
Siliforce Success
“Great news!
Two fillies about to fracture knees at Stony Oak were re-xrayed yesterday after
32 days of silicon and Dr. Gomez was "AMAZED" at the density of the
bone. After 60 days of supplemental silicon, the affected areas were virtually
undetectable!!!”

“The x-rays are the
proof, the bone healed "fast and fabulous" and I have no doubt that
the Siliforce had a positive impact to the healing process, having seen this
type of injury before. We gave this colt some additional time to mature
and he is almost ready to go but he definitely won't go anywhere without his
own bottle of Siliforce!”
- Heidi Trimbur
“I
am using Siliforce horses for several months now and I have not had a horse
with a serious bone or tendon injury since I have been using this silicon
product. I will continue to use it for all my horses in the
future!!”

Application guidelines
Siliforce Horses R/x
is available in a 250 ml bottle. Feed at a rate of 0.5 ml/100 kg of body weight (220 lb) per day. For the
first 30 days feed 1 ml/100 kg (220 lb) per day, then after 30 days feed 0.5
ml/100 kg (220 lb) per day. During times of elevated stress feed 1 ml/100 kg
(220 lb) per day. Siliforce Horses R/x can be administered by syringe directly
in the mouth.
