As arthropathy and osteopathy are the major chronic diseases of geriatric medicine, we explored the possible activity of bioceramic on these conditions using animal and cell models. Rabbits received intra-articular injections of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) to induce inflammation that mimic rheumatic arthritis. FDG isotopes were then IV injected for PET scan examinations at 16 hours and 7 days after the LPS injection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe examined and compared the bioceramic and control groups to see if bioceramic was capable of relieving inflammation in the joints by subtracting the final and initial uptake amount of FDG (max SUV).

This anti-arthritic or inflammatory effect was also demonstrated by the PGE2 inhibition of the SW1353 cells. We further proved that bioceramic treatment of the MC3T3-E1 cells resulted in increased viability of osteoblast cells challenged with hydrogen peroxide toxicity, and increased alkaline phosphatase activity and the total protein production of MC3T3-E1 cells under oxidative stress. Since LPS-induced arthritis is an experimental model that mimics RA, the potential therapeutic effects of bioceramic on arthropathy merit discussion.

It encourages subcutaneous oxygen saturation, possibly by dilating blood vessels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFar-infrared energy such as that produced by our therapeutic sheet penetrates tissues and “excites” water in the cells of your horses, speeding recovery by aiding cellular metabolic activities. This can increase the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the cells and tissues while also assisting the removal of waste gasses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eScientifically Proven Technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this study, scientists investigated ceramic-infused textiles like the ones used in XLR8 Velocity for their impact on wound healing by their ability to increase circulation in diabetic humans. They came to a conclusion, which was apparent:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“FIR-emitting garments can exert real measurable physiological effects, and deserve further study for medical indications. Especially the potential for ceramic-embedded fabrics to improve skin and wound perfusion has particular relevance to diabetes and warrants further study.” (1)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother noted advantage has been the reduction of inflammation in tissues and joints:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e “Ceramic materials with biological effects (bioceramic) have been found to modulate various biological effects, especially those effects involved in antioxidant activity and hydrogen peroxide scavenging. As arthropathy and osteopathy are the major chronic diseases of geriatric medicine, we explored the possible activity of bioceramic on these conditions using animal and cell models. Rabbits received intra-articular injections of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) to induce inflammation that mimic rheumatic arthritis. FDG isotopes were then IV injected for PET scan examinations at 16 hours and 7 days after the LPS injection. We examined and compared the bioceramic and control groups to see if bioceramic was capable of relieving inflammation in the joints by subtracting the final and initial uptake amount of FDG (max SUV). We studied the effects in prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) inhibition on the human chondrosarcoma (SW1353) cell line, and the effects on the murine osteoblast (MC3T3-E1) cell line under oxidative stress. All the subtractions between final and initial uptakes of FDG in the left knee joints of the rabbits after LPS injection indicated larger decreases in the bioceramic group than in the control group. This anti-arthritic or inflammatory effect was also demonstrated by the PGE2 inhibition of the SW1353 cells. We further proved that bioceramic treatment of the MC3T3-E1 cells resulted in increased viability of osteoblast cells challenged with hydrogen peroxide toxicity, and increased alkaline phosphatase activity and the total protein production of MC3T3-E1 cells under oxidative stress. Since LPS-induced arthritis is an experimental model that mimics RA, the potential therapeutic effects of bioceramic on arthropathy merit discussion. Bioceramic may contribute to relieving inflammatory arthritis and maintaining bone health.” (2)\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese studies can correlate well to therapeutic sheets reducing inflammation in joints and muscles of horses, helping reduce pain and injury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBased On Science\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe magnets in the Velocity Sheet were not to be neglected in our design, either, despite the bioceramic mesh being the base on which it is constructed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnipolar magnets are a contradiction in terms. The magnet’s center is usually located near the nexus center, with the north extending 180 degrees from the south. “Slicing” off a magnet from the north side of anything, whether it’s a bar, cube, or cylinder, does not imply that it only has a north side. The opposite pole will still be south polarity. It’s more accurate to say that the magnet is axially magnetized. A slice is taken from a cylinder with north and south ends at opposite (flat) end faces in axially magnetized disc magnets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a result, the magnetic field runs along an axis. Alternately, a diametrically magnetized disc could be obtained by cutting a cylinder with the north pole on one curved side, and on the other, you have the south pole, resulting in North and South on each “heads or tails” side of the disc. The magnetic field encircles the button’s radius.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDirected towards horses' recovery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXLR8 Equine takes advantage of superior, axially polar magnets that are more powerful than the competition to elicit these actions. We achieve this by ensuring that the magnet’s North pole is facing the horse, which helps to promote rest and cellular recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact, on one side of each of our magnets, you’ll find a beveled edge, ensuring that they’re quick and straightforward to tell apart. In addition, we don’t utilize copper with our magnets because it has the potential to block electromagnetic fields, such as those produced by copper-shielded cables, faraday cages, and so on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe most cost-efficient horse performance and recovery solution\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are much more expensive performance and recovery therapeutic products for your horse, but none are better for the price. The combination of magnetic therapy and scientifically demonstrated bioceramics has produced a more comprehensive holistic picture of health and performance for your horses at a better price.

This is the reason it is recommended to remove splint boots or polo wraps from your horse’s legs immediately after work, but we can use equine ice boots to help after work.

For this reason, cold therapy is a crucial part of your horse’s leg care and routine maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter work, simply zip the ice boots on and secure around the horse’s leg with the top band. Fill the pockets with ice, and leave your horse standing tied. This can be easily done within your daily schedule. When riding multiple horses, simply ice the first's legs while riding the next horse, then rotate. Since the compression fabric is breathable, it will not trap heat after the ice has melted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ice never contacts the horse’s leg directly – the internal compression layer serves as a barrier to prevent ice burn during ice treatments.
