NaviLam 'O' Information Sheet

NaviLam 'O' is a combination of NoBUTE (powerful analgesic and anti-inflammatory from Devil's Claw) and English Hawthorn (reliable vasodilator).

Phytotherapy for the laminae, navicular / pedal bones and lower leg / hoof

Specific for laminitis, founder and navicular syndrome

Britain's NoBUTE, the patented alcohol-free aqueous infusion of Devil's Claw (Harpagophytum procumbens), is recognized worldwide as the leading natural veterinary anti-inflammatory and analgesic. NoBUTE quickly helps to restore and maintain healthy joints and connective tissue. European veterinary medicine has utilized English Hawthorn (crataegus exyacantha) for many decades for its beneficial action on blood flow, blood pressure and heart rate. English Hawthorn improves blood flow through the coronary arteries supplying the heart, improves the contractions of the heart muscle to increase efficiency in pumping blood out to the body; and, most importantly for horses suffering from navicular syndrome or laminitis, improves circulation to the extremities by dilating the peripheral blood vessels and lowering arterial resistance. English Hawthorn also enhances collagen matrix integrity and structure, which is essential in the formation and maintenance of healthy connective tissue. Palatable NaviLam ?O' is safe and effective for daily long-term use. Because Hawthorn acts as a vasodialator, caution must be observed in horses prone to "bleeding". Not recommended during pregnancy.

SUGGESTED USE: SHAKE WELL AND POUR OVER FEED

For prevention / treatment of specific conditions. These are guidelines only and utilization will vary from one animal to another. Horses/Ponies use average dosing of 10 ml per 200 lbs. per day or more depending on severity of condition. A loading dose of 2 - 4 times the average dose every 24 hours is suggested initially until the animal is comfortable. Dosing may be reduced gradually from loading level, in reductions of not more than 20ml each time with a minimum of 3 days between reductions, to observe that the animal is remaining 100% comfortable.

SPECIAL HELP FOR CHRONIC LAMINITIS AND NAVICULAR Devil's Claw products helped our chronic laminitis and navicular-disease horses, but getting control of the problem was difficult with devil's claw alone. We did considerably better with NaviLam?O'. In addition to devil's claw, it contains hawthorn berry extract, which has a long history of use in Europe in the treatment of coronary artery spasm by improving circulation. Poor circulation is part of the problem in horses suffering from chronic laminitis and navicular disease. Horses who previously required bute were maintained comfortably on NaviLam?O'. NOTE: Successful control of laminitis always requires correct, expert farrier care, as well. October 2001/John Lyons' Perfect Horse
