What sets EQUISTRO® apart?
PREMIUM INGREDIENT QUALITY INGREDIENTS AND PHYTONUTRIENT KNOW-HOW
Vetoquinol pays particular care and attention to the sourcing of its raw ingredients for its EQUISTRO® range. Many of the ingredients contained within the EQUISTRO® products come from the leaves, fruits or roots of different plants and spices from around the world. Vetoquinol’s strive for quality ensures that only reputable suppliers are used whose materials conform to the relevant Pharmacopoeia imposed standards.
EQUISTRO® PRODUCT QUALITY & SECURITY
Vetoquinol takes quality control very seriously, for its pharmaceutical products as for EQUISTRO® products. The stringent quality control measures from raw ingredients to the finished Equistro product is assured via the Vetoquinol Best Practices guarantee.
Equistro product security is another major preoccupation for the horse racing and affiliated competition communities and hence area of particular attention for Vetoquinol. In an attempt to help clarify the situation, the Equistro Clean Sport programme is in place to accompany the advice from your veterinary surgeon according to the level of competition concerned.
