Here at La Riata Ranch we have been using ReStore, since 2006, and then changed over to exclusively feeding the extruded product to all of
our personal horses and horses that are in training. We have had extraordinary success with this product from the development of our young
horses to maintaining our showing and working ranch horses. In 2009 we became authorized dealers for Biovance and are re-educating our
clients and their thinking of how the horses digestive systems operates and what they really need to bloom. Please read the following and
check out Biovance's web-site for more information.

Revolution™ is fortified with ReStore™, a patented technology developed by veterinarians to enhance the natural digestive processes of the
horse.
ReStore™ is a patented nutritional supplement unique within the equine industry. It is a combination of specific enzymes with amino acids,
peptides and soluble nitrogen sources that have been specially blended to improve the digestion and nutrient utilization in horses of all ages.
Controlled studies and use in the field by individual horse owners have shown that horses supplemented with ReStore™ experience reduced
bouts of colic, improved muscle and bone growth, and improved recovery from training stress and non-infectious weight loss.
Mode of Action
Fermentation of feedstuffs by bacterial populations in the large bowel provide the horse with energy (in the form of volatile fatty acids), and
structural nitrogen (in the form of amino acids and peptides) for growth, maintenance and reproduction. In the normal diet of the horse, the
nitrogen reaching the large bowel for bacterial utilization is often insufficient in both quantity and quality to optimize bacterial growth and feed
digestion. ReStore™ has been shown to overcome the insufficient amount by providing bacteria with the required quality of nitrogen sources
in a controlled release form. This ensures a relatively constant availability of the high quality nitrogen sources required to optimize the
bacterial digestion of feed. In addition, the enzyme components of ReStore™ help to link nitrogen and carbohydrate metabolism, to further
enhance fermentation efficiency.
Revolution™ is designed as a nutritionally complete “grain substitute”. With only 17% soluble sugar and starch, Revolution™ is ideal for
horses with a history of problems associated with digestive upset, such as chronic weight loss, colic, laminites, chronic diarrhea, and gastric
ulcers. Clinical tests have also shown Revolution™ to be ideal for horses susceptible to Cushing’s Syndrome, HYPP, and other conditions
associated with derangements in cellular energy metabolism. Revolution™ maximizes nutrient utilization by as much as 40%! This means
young horses grow to full genetic potential without risk; it means performance horses can give 110% of themselves, and recover quickly and
efficiently; and it means senior horses are able to live full and useful lives well beyond what we have come to expect as normal. Please check
