Application

EQUIPUR - glykan contains green-lipped New Zealand mussel extract (200,000 mg/kg), Chondroitinsulfat (100,000 mg/kg), glucosamine, hyaluronic acid, MSM und devil's claw as well as vitamins, trace elements, kieselgur, and herbs. They ensure persistent strengthening of the sinews and joint structures as well as an increase in the smoothness and resistance of the connective tissues.

Instructions for proper use

Horses (500 kg): 30 g per day
Foals, young horses and ponies: 10 g per day
given with the feed.

As a prophylactic measure daily ration can be halved. Due to the increased content of trace elements daily ration should not be more than doubled.
Due to the quality-determining mussel flavour start feeding in minor portions. Contains mussel concen­trate - shall not be fed to ruminants.

General findings of nutritional science

The joints with their cartilage and surrounding connective tissues, as well as musculature and sinews, are particularly exposed to much strain. The organism therefore needs nutrients and active agents with a protective and regenerative effect on the tissues of the locomotive system.

Glycosaminoglycans such as chondroitin sulphate, glucosamine and hyaluronic acid are a main component of connective tissue. These include the sinews and sinew sheaths, the ligamentous apparatus, the joint capsules and cartilage as well as the joint fluid (synovia). The basic substance of connective tissue with its glycosaminoglycans is responsible for its mechanical resilience and also serves as a "transporter" of nutrients and waste products between the connective tissue cells and the bloodstream. If the glycosaminoglycan concentration is reduced due to injuries, chronic changes (e.g. arthrosis, old tendon damage), heavy strain or the natural ageing process, these tasks can no longer be fulfilled.

Omega-3 fatty acids and herbs reduce susceptibility to inflammation and allergic reactions, increase the suppleness and resistance of joints, ligaments, sinews and muscles and accelerate the healing of pathological changes.

Kieselguhr strengthens and stabilizes the connective tissue and increases its elasticity.

Trace elements and vitamin C are needed to support the formation of collagen.

Methionine and MSM are biologically active sulphur compounds. They have a significant influence on the resilience of sinew and joint structures.

Vitamin E and selenium maintain the stability and tensile strength of the sinew fibers.
