Prairie State Semen and some veterinary supply places (like Valley Vet) carry it.
A product called Regumate is used to stop cycling in horses. Matrix is simply Regumate labeled for use on swine. Before Matrix came along we used to get Regumate from our vet to regulate cycling in sows.
Your vet might be willing to sell you some Regumate.

Check the label. The last I used was 7 cc/day top dressed on the feed.
