Like IRAP(Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Protein) and PRP(platelet-rich plasma), Pro-stride is derived from the horse's own blood, which reduces the risk of a reaction to a foreign substance. We love it because similar to PRP, the blood can be processed and the product administered on the farm the same day, without the delay of overnight incubation necessary for IRAP.
Pro-Stride processing creates a product that concentrates anti-inflammatory proteins and growth factors from the blood, which help stimulate healing and reduce cartilage degradation when injected into joints. This allows for long-term osteoarthritis-associated pain control (up to 1 year) with a single injection. It is especially helpful for younger horses to avoid the side-effects of intra-articular corticosteroid administration, preserve their cartilage, and promote a long-lasting athletic career without pain.
Here's how it works:
