Equine 74® Core Connect is not intended for horses that take part in tournaments or competitions in which anti-doping regulations apply (e.g. FN/ADMR, FEI, or comparable associations).

For competition horses, there is an absolute zero tolerance for certain constituents of the hemp plant – even small traces can be relevant in doping controls. Persons responsible for sport horses should always observe the current provisions of the relevant association before use. A reliable withdrawal period that guarantees a negative doping result cannot be scientifically substantiated on the basis of the current data available.

Equine 74® Core Connect contains trace amounts of naturally occurring salicylic acid derived from plant-based raw materials. Based on current scientific literature and the FEI/IFHA thresholds (6.5 µg/mL plasma, 750 µg/mL urine), the risk of a positive doping test result is very low when the product is administered as recommended.

As a precaution, we recommend discontinuing use 48 hours prior to competitions if other substances containing salicylates are being administered at the same time. However, responsibility for compliance with the applicable regulations lies with the rider or trainer.
