What horse products contain Capsaicin?
actually “capsaicin”is used to overwhelm the nervous system in the area that it is applied causing a heat sensation and will cause a neural numbness in that area it also dilates the blood vessels in that area.there are a lot of horse products that use it and the reason it was banned was because it can take a minor injury and turn it into a permanent lameness due to the horses natural pain receptors not being able to protect the horse.”equiblock”brand pain reliever has .025% capsaicin and most pain products will list it if they have any in it because of the rules of banned substances.a good trainer and coach will get the list of banned substances and then go thru all their equipment to find out if it has any banned substances in them and go as far as contacting the company’s that make them so during drug testing they wont be disquallified.this falls on the trainer and grooms shoulders.
