Vitality Equiscope

The toughest fights don't always happen inside the cage.

UFC veteran Cat Zingano built her career by doing what few athletes can, pushing through adversity at the highest level of competition.

But years of training, injuries, and the physical toll of fighting eventually caught up with her. Like many athletes searching for answers, she tried countless recovery methods hoping to find something that truly made a difference.

Then she found Equiscope.

During an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, Cat spoke about how Equiscope became one of the recovery tools she kept coming back to. She described seeing swelling dramatically reduced after injuries and credited it as a valuable part of her overall recovery routine.

For an athlete whose career has been defined by resilience, recovery wasn't just about journey, it was about staying ready for the next challenge.

Because champions aren't built only on fight night.

They're built in the hours, days, and months spent recovering, rebuilding, and refusing to quit.

From setbacks... to comebacks.

Performance isn't just trained. It's supported.

Really happy with the recheck on Adios today. Big thank you to Dr Lee for getting us rodeo road ready.

His radiographs looks fantastic and he was as sound as a new dollar bill! We are soooo close to his comeback and I know we are *all* ready!

This surgery went as good as possible and I’ve been back on him about 2 months now. Tiny bit of change by the screw head, but we are extremely happy with progress and thankful to Erika for being extremely dedicated to his care, equiscoping him 3 days a week.

Christi at Highpoint… well… she’s his auntie now. 🫶🏻🥰

Huge thank you to Dr Lee, Dr Marsh, Dr Sharp and Dr Honnas for all their knowledge during this time. Just super thankful to my team. 🫶🏻

Polyneuritis VS EPMSD

How EPMSD May Support Horses Experiencing Polyneuritis-Like Neurological Stress

A Systems-Based Educational Overview

Polyneuritis equi is a neurological condition involving inflammation of peripheral nerves—most commonly the cauda equina and sacrocaudal nerve roots. Clinical signs may include weakness, muscle atrophy, gait abnormalities, reduced tail tone, altered sensation, poor coordination, and chronic inflammation. Current veterinary literature suggests immune-mediated inflammation may play a role in some cases.

EPMSD was designed around a systems-based philosophy focused on supporting multiple body systems commonly stressed during chronic neurological dysfunction. Rather than targeting only one pathway, the formula is intended to support circulation, antioxidant balance, connective tissue integrity, digestive function, bile-associated detoxification pathways, and overall systemic resilience.

1. Neuro-Immune Axis Support

Neurological inflammation is closely connected to immune signaling. Chronic inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress may contribute to ongoing irritation surrounding nerves and supporting tissues.

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) provides a sulfur source involved in glutathione production and antioxidant activity. Equine studies have shown MSM may help reduce exercise-associated oxidative stress and support inflammatory balance in muscle tissue.

Cinnamon contains polyphenols and cinnamaldehyde compounds that have been studied for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. These compounds may help support vascular function and healthy inflammatory signaling.

Together, these ingredients are theorized to support the body’s ability to manage oxidative stress associated with chronic inflammation.

⸻

2. Gut–Brain Axis Support

The nervous system and digestive system are heavily interconnected. Horses experiencing chronic neurological stress often also experience digestive instability, poor nutrient absorption, altered appetite, or weight loss.

Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) has historically been used as a bitter digestive herb. Bitter compounds may help stimulate digestive secretions and bile-associated digestive processes. Horses naturally secrete bile continuously because they do not possess a gallbladder.

Supporting digestion and nutrient absorption may help improve the body’s access to amino acids, minerals, and energy substrates needed for tissue maintenance and recovery.

3. Fascia–Nerve Axis Support

Fascia surrounds nerves, blood vessels, muscles, and lymphatic structures. Chronic inflammation may reduce fascial glide, hydration, and tissue elasticity.

Shavegrass (horsetail) contains silica-associated compounds traditionally linked to connective tissue support. Silica plays a role in collagen-associated structural integrity and connective tissue maintenance.

MSM and silica-containing plants are often discussed together in connective tissue support because sulfur and silica both contribute to structural tissue integrity.

⸻

4. Blood–Nerve Axis Support

Nervous tissue depends heavily on oxygen delivery, nutrient transport, and healthy microcirculation. Reduced circulation may impair tissue resilience and recovery capacity.

Cinnamon has been studied for vascular-supportive properties and antioxidant effects that may help support healthy blood flow dynamics.

Supporting circulation may assist nutrient delivery to stressed neuromuscular tissues.

⸻

5. Liver–Bile–Detox Axis Support

Inflammation, oxidative stress, cellular waste products, and microbial byproducts place demand on detoxification pathways.

Traditional bitter herbs like wormwood have historically been used to support digestive and biliary function. Sulfur-containing compounds like MSM are also associated with phase II detoxification support due to sulfur’s role in glutathione-related pathways.

These systems may become especially important during periods of increased inflammatory stress.

⸻

Why the 90-Day Structure Matters

Nervous tissue, connective tissue, and red blood cell turnover occur gradually over time. Tissue remodeling, inflammatory regulation, and systemic adaptation are not immediate processes.

The 90-day structure was developed around:
• Progressive systemic support
• Tissue turnover timelines
• Connective tissue maintenance
• Nutritional replenishment
• Gradual neurological stabilization support

⸻

Summary

EPMSD is positioned as a multi-system botanical support formula intended to help maintain:
• Healthy inflammatory balance
• Connective tissue integrity
• Digestive and bile-associated function
• Circulatory support
• Antioxidant activity
• Detoxification pathways
• Overall neurological resilience

This systems-based approach reflects the understanding that neurological dysfunction often affects far more than nerves alone.
