Equine Health
Our nutritional supplements for equine health are patented products that emphasize immune education, immune modulation, and broad-based dietary support for the patient.
Transfer Factor Technology
Medicine is the Science of Disease, and Nutrition is the Science of Health
Trust transfer factor technology to optimize immune system function. While many products use single rudimentary ingredients known to aid immune health, Ramaekers Nutrition delivers the only immune support products harnessing transfer factors supported by a unique, patented blend of essential nutrients and potent nutraceuticals. See our Mission.
Patented Formulas
Our patented formulas use transfer factor technology. These formulas are derived from a proprietary blend of bioactive peptides based on the synergistic effect of combining naturally sourced biologically active peptides (transfer factor).
These bioactive peptides are extracted from bovine colostrum and egg yolks. To clarify, this blend combines unique plant-derived heteropolysaccharides, lactic acid-producing probiotics, and highly bioavailable micronutrients. Combining these immune active ingredients allows a dramatically enhanced immune response in equine health without side effects.
Unique Formulas
Our unique formulas help educate and boost the immune system for overall health and vitality. Immune education starts at birth and should continue throughout life with our patented products.
Dr. Ramaekers is passionate about improving animal welfare and is proud to be on the cutting edge of veterinary medicine and nutrition (meet our veterinary team).
Custom Equine Formulas
Natural Pain Relievers
Dr. Ramaekers's nutritional supplements for equine health focus on replacing nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories like Butazolodin and banamine. These pain relievers have many serious side effects, like bleeding ulcers. He formulated equine products using natural pain relievers like curcumin, boswellia, hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, and chondroitins. These natural products are equally effective and have no side effects. Focusing on a mineral balance makes these products more available at the cellular level and allows joint absorption. Dr. Ramaekers has replaced 80% of typical Western medicine pain relievers with his natural formulas.
Natural Immunotherapy
In approximately 1999, Dr. Ramaekers was introduced to Natural Immunotherapy. He quickly recognized that this newer therapy concept in disease prevention and health dovetailed perfectly with his philosophy—balanced nutrition leads to a robust, functioning immune system and overall health.
After a thorough investigation and several years of equine field studies, he applied for a patent for his Equine Immune Formula. The United States Patent and Trademark Office granted Dr. Ramaekers's Patent, and he was awarded for his work in the following areas:
- Equine Cushing's Disease
- Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis
- Onchocerciasis
- Equine Hypothyroidism
- Benign Skin Tumors
Daily Practice & Research
Innovative natural immunotherapy approaches have become an integral part and focus of Dr. Ramaekers's daily practice and research. His efforts aim to produce immune supplements that provide effective immune education and modulation throughout life.
Equine Formulas
It is common knowledge that immune information is conveyed from the mother to the newborn both in utero and through colostrum. His customized equine formulas capitalize on the body's ability to recognize and orally absorb immune information at any time during life.
Acute and Chronic Conditions
We envision the future standard of care in equine medicine and therapy to include natural immunotherapy for acute and chronic conditions. Our experience incorporating immune enhancement into traditional therapy protocols has improved patient outcomes in uncomplicated, complicated, and serious health challenges and conditions. Some examples of areas in our field where veterinarians utilize these supplements would be:
- Cushing’s Disease
- Pigeon Breast
- Fistulous Withers
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma
- Equine Strangles
- Sarcoids
- Chronic Internal Abscessation from Corynebacterium
- Tumor reduction
Some current areas of interest that Dr. Ramaekers is conducting research are:
- Enhanced antibody titers in response to vaccines
- Improved reproductive performance in stallions and mares
- Improved race performance and endurance
- Improving parasite control and prevention
- Stress reduction formulas
- New concepts in therapy for auto-immune disorders
