Hack Up Ltd - supported by science
Alex Gingell relies on his equestrian expertise and natural flair for business to bring the right product to the right market at the right time. Using the valuable experience gained when successfully launching Oxyshot and Vetrofen, Alex is excited to be involved with bringing scientifically supported products to the market.
With over 20 years of superior science behind Sportmax, the advanced formula has been
specifically designed for the equine athlete. Scientific papers created in association with Bangor University
demonstrate Sportmax support the immune system rather than causing upset. It is designed to relieve symptoms and reduce recovery for horses of all
ages and demands, from child’s pony to Olympic athlete.
This natural product has been scientifically
trialled with results which cannot be matched by any other on the market and further trials with 80 vets are
ongoing.
Alex was ranked an impressive 31 in the world as a professional Eventer, he therefore demands that products perform whilst complying with the requirements of all sporting bodies.

Colour Codes to Comply with Equine Governing Bodies
With the ever increasing need for products which comply with all equine governing bodies, Hack Up have spent time sourcing and developing a significant range of products. As a retired international eventer, Alex Gingell MD of Hack Up truly understands the need for effective supplements that meet all regulations and guidelines and how important it is that owners and riders feel secure in the knowledge that they are not contravening any legislation.
To clarify the situation with regard to these products and the various regulatory authorities of the sports in which they may be used, we have introduced a colour coded system, as above, to indicate each product's current recommendation.

Premium Glucosamine, MSM and BeeGee blend
Glucosamine HCL - For Joints
Glucosamine Certification PDF
Glucosamine is one of the major building blocks utilised in the body's synthesis of lubricants and shock absorbing mechanisms necessary to maintain and restore healthy joint performance. Vets prescribe this exact product, labelled with their own labels, for horses with joint problems. Click here to download a copy of the certification details.
Bee Gee Blend - For Joints
Made up of a blend of the same Glucosamine HCL as above and Boswellia (a derivative of frankincense). Boswellia has potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects that can reduce the pains and inflammation of the joint. Sarah Burton, Head Instructor of the Newmarket and Thurlow PC says, “I've been using Bee Gee Blend for years as it has encouraged the mobility of my three ageing ponies more effectively than any other product I've ever tried. This product is ideal for ponies showing 'wear and tear' and has the power to add years to their competitive lives”
Premium MSM - for Injuries
MSM Certification PDF
Taken Internally, MSM is extremely beneficial to the body as sulphur is required for the creation of new cells including connective tissue. Sulphur aids the repair of damaged tissue and can be used for a multitude of reasons, particularly following injuries to joints, tendons, muscles and ligaments and as a nutritional supplement. Our MSM is of the purest quality available - click here to download a copy of the certification details.
“Like many horse owners, I feed pure glucosamine HCL as most vets recommend it over and above heavily marketed brands. Hack Up GLHCL is sourced from the same location as that prescribed by vets in my area and is at least 30% cheaper, so I use it on my horses now and advise my clients to do the same.”

Dear Horse & Rider Reader
Horse and Rider has always been read by members of my family. I began reading it as a child and, though my professional career has taken me into the glamorous and high profile global scene of racing, my heart is still very firmly with riding, showing and being part of the day to day activities of looking after horses.
I am hoping that the readers of Horse and Rider will be able to assist me in this important and ground breaking task of gathering information on pain, stiffness and discomfort in their horses. If sufficient horse lovers take part then we will gain insight into the level of discomfort that degenerative conditions cause. We will then be able to give more appropriate treatments and management than at present and I believe that owners as a result will have a better insight and information about symptoms and will become proactive in the management of affected horses.
We are always at the fore-front of research and development with respect to our products and with the help from Horse and Rider and its readers we can continue to develop products that target the concerns of the readership.
Kind Regards
Dr Carol Michael
