Supplementation Program for Horses

Prevent • Protect • Perform

For centuries, certain mushrooms have been consumed for their wellness benefits and have been recognized for their powerful functional health support and wellness aspects in addition to their flavors and textures. Mushroom Matrix (M²) has developed specialized nutraceutical mushroom formulas designed to provide the maximum health promoting effects to the Equine industry.

For centuries, certain mushrooms have been consumed for their wellness benefits and have been recognized for their powerful functional health support and wellness aspects in addition to their flavors and textures. Mushroom Matrix has developed specialized nutraceutical mushroom formulas designed to provide the maximum health promoting effects to the Equine industry.

The secret lies in the use of whole bioactive entities with potent enzymatic functions and providing the horse with un-denatured antioxidant enzymes and adjunctive natural health components in a highly absorbable bio-available and active form. Grown under strict GMP Standards in San Marcos California, M² blends are Certified Organic formulas with guaranteed potencys. The products are pure unadulterated CERTIFIED ORGANIC nutraceutical mushroom powders carefully cultivated & harvested with proprietary processing methods to ensure preservation of optimal potency of natures most powerful natural synergies of antioxidants, enzymes, amino acids, beta glucans and more in a sophisticated nutritional matrix.

The foundation of performance is health. The basis of health, strength, and stamina is a powerful immune system. Science is now demonstrating that nature has many potent nutrients that support & activate the immune system. Many of these impressive and beneficial substances are found in mushrooms. MUSHROOM MATRIX has developed proprietary cultivation methodologies for selected species of extensively researched mushrooms. Recognizing the different constituents and medicinal modes of activity of each mushroom species, several unique M2 Matrix Mushroom Formulas have been created to address specific equine health and performance issues.

With these formulas, it is now possible to naturally support, restore, and build the strength and stamina required for peak performance and consistency. We are entering a new age for realization of genetic performance potential combining the benefits and wisdom of scientific and classic training with natural, organic whole foods as nature intended.

Why continue to use synthetic chemicals as nutritional supplements without any enzyme backup system to promote proper bio-availability and utilization? Such artificial additives may not be absorbed or fully utilized and can interfere or be a less effective substitute for the real preferred natural substrates. This can never produce peak consistent performance over time.

Collectively, M2 Mushroom Matrix Formulas contain whole natural proprietary mushroom matrix blends with certified cultured levels of transporters and antioxidants to provide needed protection and enhancement without having to administer synthetic chemicals/nutrients with questionable absorption, cell penetration, and physiologic effect.

Special Bioactive Mushroom Matrix blends provide:

• The most powerful anti-oxidative and enzyme properties known in any
  food product.
• Oxidative stress support.
• Natural immune supportive agents.
  

Unique and proprietary GGM processing is used to combine both mushroom fruit bodies and bio-active mycelia (the "whole mushroom" organism) in unique formulas that optimizes each mushroom's enzymatic structure and benefit. This technology was developed in a cooperative research venture with Dr. Robert Beelman, Professor of Food Science at Pennsylvania State University.

Antioxidants: All living organisms including horses are exposed on a daily basis to attacks by free radicals, also called reactive oxygen species. Survival and minimization of harmful effects free radicals requires a powerful antioxidant defense system.

Several of nature's most powerful antioxidants and synergistic enzyme matrix systems that do not exist outside unprocessed whole foods are found in significant abundance in certain specially-grown species of exotic, medicinal mushrooms.

• L-Ergothioneine (LE), a substance mushrooms have in abundance, is one of the most potent antioxidants in the world. ONE unit of L-ERGO equals approximately 7, 000 units of Trolox (water soluble vitamin E). What is most fascinating is that mammals cannot synthesize L-ERGO but contain a unique TRANSPORT SYSTEM to ensure delivery of this essential nutrient to key cells and sites of oxidative stress.

• Beta Glucans - Potent and proven immune response potentiators and modulators.

• Polyphenols - Potent biological response modifiers.
• Organic Selenium compounds - An essential trace element with important antioxidant and metabolic energy activity.

• Amino Acids - Essential amino acids occurring in mushrooms increase the biological value of equine feeds.

• Glycoproteins - Key building blocks of the immune system, antibodies, hormones, connective tissue, and are important for cellular recognition and defense.

The effects and benefits of improved antioxidant and enzyme food matrix status are significant and include improved stress response as evidenced by improved mental focus, external bio-markers of improved health such as improved coat sheen, muscle tone, digestion, stamina, growth, recovery, and reproductive potential.
