There is no need to add Vitamin E, or Selenium (shots or other) when a horse is on the recommended dose of Untie®.

---

Muscles, Tendons, Ligaments & Joints

The most potent natural anti-inflammatory supplement containing all the vitamins, minerals and probiotics, as intermediary metabolites to aid the horse with problems of muscle stiffness, contacted tendons, epiphysitis, arthritis, shortness of stride, EPSM/PSSM, laminitis, founder and other inflammatory conditions. Untie® works different than NSAIDS because it is nutritional, does not increase risk of ulcers, does not test, and is safe for continuous daily use. Often used as a pre-race or pre-event supplement to extend stride. Contains NO iron or manganese.

Untie® contains amino acid chelates of calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, chromium, iodine, and selenium. These custom chelates are pre-digested forms of minerals that are nearly 100% absorbed and bioavailable, unlike inorganic forms. Untie® also contains USP Grade (pharmaceutical grade) carbonates and oxides of calcium and magnesium for buffering excess acids and protecting the amino acid chelates from destruction before they are absorbed. We use only water solubilized forms of Vitamins A, D and E which are shown to be significantly more absorbable than the more common oil-based forms as they require no digestion and do not stress the liver. Untie® also includes USP Grade B-complex vitamins and buffered Vitamin C. 

Horses with compromised biochemistry do very well with Untie® because it is entirely bioavailable and in predigested forms - so as to not stress the digestive system or the liver. Untie® contains micro-encapsulated live probiotics cultures - which are protected from stomach acid long enough to activate when they reach the gut in order to help absorption of the most important ingredients. Untie® contains NO fillers, extenders, preservatives, binders or artificial ingredients of any kind, no sugars, and no manganese or iron that are already very high in the equine food chain.

Stop Tying Up:

Untie® goes beyond just Vitamin E and selenium by adding all of the known supportive nutrients that act synergistically with Vitamin E and selenium - maximizing effectiveness.

TIP: Give 5 scoops 2 times per day, for 2-3 days (in feed or dose). Then drop down to the maintenance level of 2-5 scoops per day.

It is recommended to eliminate all sweet feeds bound with molasses. Stick with a high quality protein feed like our Equine Plus® Feed with an energy source like rolled oat groats (feed grade oatmeal) or steam flaked barley or a mix of the two. Avoid corn, wheat middlings, cracked wheat, soy and alfalfa that can compromise thyroid, which is often implicated in tying up syndrome. Feed good quality grass hay only.

For mares who tend to tie up during their heat cycles, add Xenodetox® to help normalize hormones and eliminate excess estrogen in estrogen dominance syndromes.

Reduce Muscle Soreness:

Untie® contains tissue targeted magnesium for enhanced relaxation of muscles and muscle spasms. The additional amino acid chelated minerals fuel the biochemical pathways to rapidly turn over lactic acid back into glucose for muscle fuel and reduce muscle soreness caused by the lactic acid.

TIP: Give 3-5 scoops per day, for two days. You can then give Untie® as needed in a pre-event or post event dose to keep soreness in check. It has also helped horses with arthritis, and Untie® is safe to use every day as needed for special situations.

Inflammation:
(from injury or surgery)

Inflammatory support can often be the best joint support, and for over 30 years, Untie has been one of the most trusted nutritional supplements for horse racing, competition riding professionals and equine therapists all over the world. Untie® improves circulation by aiding in the reduction of inflammation throughout the horse’s system - increasing oxygen delivery of the blood, and allowing tissue repair at the fastest rate.

Steroid Treatments:

Corticosteroids can play an important role for horses recovering from severe inflammation, and research shows they deplete the body of calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium, selenium, vitamins A, D and vitamin B6.

Untie® includes all 8 of these key nutrients in a unique natural inflammatory support formula that not only works great on its own, but also helps restore the vitamins and minerals which steroid treatments are well known to drive out of the body.

If a horse needs steroid treatments, then the horse needs Untie®.

Pre-Eventing, Pre-Racing, Pre-Polo:

Untie® aids in muscle flexibility and helps reduce and delay inflammation from hard work. Untie® can help extend stride up to 4 inches by relaxing muscles, tendons and ligaments  It can be given 3-4 hours prior to event time, depending on the horse. Horses recover better and faster from the stress of performance with Untie®.

TIP:  2-5 scoops (feed or dosed) is the recommended amount for the average sized horse in preparation for an event, 6 scoops for a very large horse.

TIP: Mix 2-5 scoops of Untie® with 60cc of our Nutrient Buffer®, and add enough water to create a pancake batter type consistency. Let it foam out for a few minutes. Administer with a dosing gun. This combination helps buffer the horse’s system and increases oxygen uptake and blood carrying capacity. The secondary effect with Untie®  is that the horse will recover better and faster from the stress of performance.

Contracted Tendons & Epiphysitis:

Untie® helps normalize the imbalanced growth that leads to contracted tendons, and also epiphysitis. It is also useful for adult onset contracted tendons that can even occur in adult racing horses. There is really no such thing as a horse “growing too fast” as conventional medicine currently thinks. The real problems is that all the parts of the body are not growing at the same rate, due to metabolic nutritional deficiencies. The tendons don't grow as fast as the bones and muscles, causing the tendons and muscles they are attached to to appear and function as “shorter” or “contracted”. Untie® unique formulation is effective as a pain reliever as well as supportive for the missing nutrients needed to correct the imbalanced growth and the relaxing ability of the tissue targeted magnesium to relax the constrained muscles and tendons.

TIP: For young horses with contracted tendons and epiphysitis, it is recommended to eliminate all sweet feeds bound with molasses

Cushing’s Syndrome:

Untie® corrects mineral imbalance, associated with Cushing's Syndrome, in the horse’s metabolism, and it gives support to thyroid pathways also compromised by these imbalances.
