Sport & Racing

The high quality TWYDIL® programmes ensure that your horses achieve sport and racing performances as close as possible to their full potential.
TWYDIL® remains worldwide the only company to undertake antidoping controls on each batch of the product before release. An overdose of a representative sample of each batch of the finished product with the respective formulas is given to a horse and its blood and urine are tested for a range of forbidden substances. The institution in charge of the tests is the LCH (Laboratoire des Courses Hippiques).
For some years now – depending on the countries and sports federations – some substance extracts have tested positive during controls. To address this challenge, TWYDIL® carried out a study on horses to better understand the kinetics of urinary elimination. The study revealed that urinary elimination is almost complete within 18–24 hours; however, a withdrawal period of 48 hours has been established in cooperation with the authorities. This applies to the following products: TWYDIL® ARTRIDIL with Harpagophytum, TWYDIL® MUCOPROTECT and TWYDIL® HIPPACAN+C. Each of these products bears a visible and legible mention of this 48-hour withdrawal period on the package.
It is the user’s responsibility to conform to the directives of the local competent authorities presiding over his region or country. Concerning some ingredients of our formulas, the national regulations may change independently from the FEI rules and Racing Rules. FEI (International Federation of Equestrian Sports) publishes a list of prohibited substances that should not test positive during controls, see www.feicleansport.org.
