Eleuthromax is made to a guaranteed standard composition through analytical identification of the eleutheroside content using the H.P.L.C. method.

Eleuthromax can be used in competition, breeding and convalescent horses to improve their overall response to stressful stimuli.

Eleuthromax can enhance the natural resistance and recuperative power of the body.

Eleuthromax contains active ingredients extracted from the roots of the Eleutherococcus senticosus maxim plant. This is a plant of the same Araliaceae family to which Panax ginseng belongs. Eleutherococcus senticosus maxim is a thorny creeping plant which grows abundantly in parts of the Soviet Far East, Korea, China and Japan. The root of the plant contains high concentrations of biologically active eleutherococcus. The active components in eleutherococcusare eleutherosides. These eleutherosides make Eleuthromax an essential supplement for any horse that may encounter stress, be it a physical stress from maximum muscular contraction during training and racing, or environmental stress that manifests itself in many detrimental ways.

The use of Eleuthromax in racehorses, be it on the racetrack or in the breeding shed of a stallion station, is the culmination of many years of research by Professor I.I. Brekhman and Professor I.O. Dardymov in the USSR. The use of Eleuthromax in sport stems from the discovery that it can increase stamina and performance with no side effects compared to other stimulants. The use of Eleuthromax as an anti-stress agent, stems from the findings that it improves the alarm phase response in athletes and reduces the physical side effects associated with stress.

The Applications of Eleuthromax are immense

• Immunomodulatory – Eleuthromax can help address fatigue and improve immune functions in the body.
• Weaning – Weaning stress increases cortisol conc. for up to 40hrs following weaning. This prolonged stressed state will make the foal susceptible to infection etc.
• Young Horses – Breaking and Training predisposes young horses to high levels of stress. Trainers who use Eleuthromax get a better response.
• Acclimatisation – The practice of dual-purpose stallions means these expensive animals encounter transport and acclimatisation stress, stress from changes in diet & housing.
• Competition Horses – All forms of horses compete at very high levels. These horses must adapt to different types of stress e.g. Transport, climate etc.
