Sounds good, but I need the facts!
Product Information
Compared to muscles, tendons have very little blood flow. Because of this, nutrients and waste substances are supplied and removed more slowly, resulting in slower recovery. Actifyt Tendon provides key building blocks to maintain strong tendons and ligaments. Additionally it stimulates the blood circulation and a normal inflammatory response. Actifyt Tendon can be used proactively but also during the recuperation from injuries.
Key ingredients and benefits
- Vegan glycine, proline and leucine as major amino acids in tendons and ligaments and as building blocks of collagen. These amino acids can promote the regeneration of collagen fibers in case of tendon injuries by boosting the horse's natural collagen synthesis.
- MSM is a bio-available source of organic sulphur. Sulphur is naturally found in the horse's body and has an important role in tissue healing at a cellular level and in collagen production. It also supports a normal response to inflammation.
- Boswellia and curcuma are two powerful plantextracts known for their joint-soothing qualities. They support joint health from within and provide comfort.
- Stinging nettle and black currant herbal extracts rich in antioxidants and supporting metabolic organs such as the liver and kidneys to remove waste substances in the horse's body. Because the build-up of waste products is something that can unbalance the horse's body.
- Ginkgo biloba can positively influence nitric oxide levels in the blood which may boost the blood flow, and consequently enhance nutrient supply to the tendons and ligaments. Also known for its antioxidant qualities.
- Glucosamine as a key component in supporting joint and tendon health. It also supports the strength, structure and shock absorbing qualities of cartilage. Most glucosamine is sourced from shellfish. Actifyt instead uses a vegan alternative sourced from fermented corn. The glucosamine from fermentation has an identical molecular structure to glucosamine obtained from crustaceans, and has the same bio-availability.
- Vitamin C and E, two antioxidants that are thought to have a protective effect by either reducing or preventing oxidative damage. Vitamin C is also a co-factor for the horse's natural collagen synthesis.
- Chelated minerals and trace elements such as zinc and copper. Important co-factors in the synthesis of collagen.
Actifyt Tendon is particularily recommended for:
- Hard-working horses whose locomotor system is under increased pressure and who are prone to tendon and ligament problems
- Horses recuperating from tendon and ligament injuries as additional care and support
- All horses that can use proactive care and support to maintain healthy connective tissue
Daily feed advice
- Horse 600 kg: 40g = one level scoop
- Horse < 600 kg and ponies: 20g = half a scoop
Add the supplement daily to your horse's feed. A 50 ml level scoop gives approximately 40 g. There is a multilevel (10 ml - 50 ml) scoop included with your order. Moisten the powder if necessary so that it sticks to the feed and does not remain on the bottom of the feeder.
In more acute circumstances (competition or injury recovery) the administered dose can be increased to 60g per day during the first week for extra support.
The safety of Actifyt Tendon has not been tested in pregnant and lactating mares. Therefore, the use during pregnancy and lactation is not recommended.
