Olympic & August/Early September Delays
Royal Mail & the
Couriers are warning of delays for parcels during these
periods (right up to 8th September!) - whether from road closures, staff absence during
the Games & school holidays, etc.
In August we too
struggle with 'holidays' - so if you'd like to order, if you
can order early, it'll help (online orders are always
quicker than phone)!
AND, to any of you
competing, assisting or attending the Olympics, the VERY
best of luck from all at Team R&S!

Probiotics & 'Athletes' - Human (or animal)
A recent article from
www.nutraingredients.com*
summarises the following points from studies of human
athletes - which we feel is totally relevant for other
species, horses, dogs, greyhounds, racing camels etc!
●
Exercise can suppress the body’s immune response.
●
The connection between probiotics &
immune support is well documented & an obvious application
of their use in ‘sports nutrition’ would be to counteract
this.
●
High protein supplementation may
cause gastrointestinal distress.
●
Probiotics can potentially
improve protein utilisation, and may therefore help to
produce an increase in muscle mass/strength.
●
Probiotics may have an influence
on neurotransmitters & hormones involved in improving
responses to physical & mental stress.
► What’s the relevance?
-
“Fundamentally, if a consumer can purchase a
single product that has two [or more] functional uses
at a better price point than the components purchased
separately, it’s a huge plus" Daniel Pierce told
Nutraingredients.com at the Probiotics Association’s recent
World Congress in California.
-
He continued "More probiotics are likely to be
seen in traditional sports nutrition products because
overall health & immune health awareness & performance
nutrition are becoming one & the same”.
► Competition & Event-Venue Challenges.
The body’s wellbeing &
gut function are often compromised, for example:
● ‘unnatural’&
irregular feeding regimes in preparation for competition,
●
excess protein,
●
stress involved in
travelling as well as general stress,
●
disturbed sleep,
● water
contamination/changes,
●
potential sources
of infection at competition venues, etc.
► Ways
to Optimise the Odds of Success and Good Health
A. Adding a ‘pure’
& highly tasty probiotic supplement (i.e. with NO
cereal/unnecessary fillers and of an appropriate
‘intensity’ to be of use to the body) to your horse’s
feed, can help to maintain his natural immunity,
performance ability & wellbeing despite all that it’s
experiencing.
Choose Protexin Equine Premium Gut
Balancer or QuickFix paste.
B.
Ditto for the human (or dog) athlete.
Choose
Protexin Bio-Kult capsules.
C. 'Pure' probiotics that are supplemented at beneficial
amounts (e.g. the above three Protexin products), are
totally non-invasive and contain no banned substances under FEI & BHA regulations.
Ruggles & Stopitall Ltd have long agreed with all
the above but that ‘connecting of the dots’ in
this way is still 'relatively new' outside of the research worlds….

Injury.
Recovery
& OM3 - NEW research
From the Alltech Symposium, Lexington, Kentucky, USA - 2012
- Tania Cubitt, PhD.
When your horse (or dog
or even yourself!) is on
restricted exercise or
is ‘box
resting’ due to
injury, his day to day
regime will be very
different from his
normal working life.
1.
We
all know about rest and
time to recover, but
2.
do
we also know the
importance of
diet during the
healing process
(also relevant for any
living body, animal or
human!), and
3.
reducing sugar intake?
When injured the body's
nutritional
requirements WILL
increase,
due to
the
energy demands of
healing.
Omega 3 is a key element
in a body's ability to
self-heal quickly...but
as we've long said, it's
also frequently
deficient in most human
& animal bodies.

► Stressed
Traveller - Human, Dog, Horse (Alpaca, Donkey)
-
If you can help
calm the ‘butterflies’,
we know from
personal
experience how a
calmer tummy
helps us cope
with stress….
-
A study by the
Japan Racing
Association’s
Equine Research
Institute
revealed that
stress levels of
horses during
transport
(road & air),
caused
major spikes in
the heart rate
of study horses
compared to when
in rest..
-
Because stress
affects the gut
so detrimentally
(animal &
human!), AND,
the gut runs
around 70% of an
animal’s immune
system
responses, we
suggest some
easy,
affordable,
competition legal
&
non-invasive ‘internal’
supports..

► Tick
Alert - it's a
HORRENDOUS year!
Whether in Dartmoor, Scotland, France, the Sussex heathlands or even our gardens anywhere in the UK, this year no one nor any animal is safe from ticks.
- The Veterinary world and the National & Local media are all trying to warn us to be really careful this year - the main 'disease' that is caused by ticks is utterly horrendous...as your immune system goes crazy & it's all but impossible to pin it down to a tick bite...
- If you can help deter them, it's better than being completely exposed - a little Ruggle-it offers a gentle, non-invasive & efficient deterrent or an effective way to get rid of them if you pick one up!
- Click HERE for John Griffin's (Great Thorns Shooting Syndicate, Quantock Hills) happy experience both on his gundogs and on himself! (Or see some editorial in the July 2012 issue of Modern Gamekeeping, page 3)

► Pet
Incontinence - try Flaxseed Oil says US Vet!
A
surprisingly common
pet health issue is
pet
incontinence.
Whether your dear
dog wakes up in the
morning with a
puddle of urine
beside her or she
might dribble urine
whilst walking, her inability to
'manage herself' is
ghastly.
- Guilt –
the confused &
guilty look in
her eyes can
break
any heart
as she just
doesn’t
understand;
- Hair loss & burns
– as the acids
burn her skin.
Pioneering US Vet Dr Andrew Jones is a
firm believer in the power of 'pure' Flaxseed oil to help -
thanks to its natural richness in Plant Estrogens.
