Cavalor ArtiTec (Equine)
Cavalor ArtiTec gives our equine athletes what they need during periods of intense work. Cavalor ArtiTec is the result of 7 years of scientific research (in collaboration with UGent) on optimum nutritional supplements for healthy tendons and joints in top-class sport horses.
The resulting specific combination and balance of substances not only promotes healthy tendons and joints, it also offers ideal protection against damage caused by strain.
Cavalor ArtiTec’s herbal substances have synergistic effects which help to stop these adverse processes in the musculoskeletal system before they can cause damage. In a pilot study Cavalor ArtiTec was found to be palatable by 97% of the horses, and 74% showed observed improvement.
Cavalor ArtiTec is the result of 7 years scientific research (ism UGent) into the best nutritional support for tendon and joint health in top sport horses.
The resulting specific ingredient combination and ratio not only supports healthy tendons and joints, it also provides excellent protection from damage associated with overload.
Cavalor ArtiTec is formulated in such a way that the herbs have a synergetic effect and thus eliminate negative processes in the musculoskeletal system before they can cause damage. During a pilot study 1 Cavalor ArtiTec was successfully absorbed in 97 % of the horses and 74 % of the horses showed visible signs of improved movement.
Product Properties - Key Ingredients
- Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM): is an organo sulphur compound. Sulphur is important for the muscles, joints, cartilage, bones and blood; MSM is the most easily absorbable and biologically available source of sulphur.
- Glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate and hyaluronic acid: Glycosaminoglycans are vital building blocks for ligaments, tendons, bones and synovia (synovial fluid). The chondroitin sulphate we use has a low molecular weight, which means that it is easily absorbed into the horse’s body. Similar to other raw materials, quality is also a benchmark for price and effectiveness in this case. Cavalor selects raw materials with the highest active ingredient content. For example, the chondroitin sulphate contains 90 % active ingredients.
- L-Glutamine: is a building block for glutathione, an antioxidant. Glutathione is important in the recovery process following an injury.
It’s all in the mix – a complex mixture of botanical ingredients
It’s all in the mix – a complex mixture of botanical ingredients Specialist mixture of herbs including Ananasus comosus, Curcuma longa, Boswellia serrata, Ribes nigrum and Tanacetum parthenium. The ingredients in this mixture have a cumulative and synergistic effect, which has been scientifically proven in our research programme 2,3,4,5. The combination of herbs ensures, for example, that all ingredients easily reach the joint. Again we focus specifically on the quality of the raw materials, which really makes a difference with herbs in terms of their guaranteed concentration and efficacy. For example, the form of Curcuma we use contains 95 % curcuminoids, the active substance
Which Cavalor joint supplement should I choose?
Not every horse needs the same level of protection.
Cavalor Arti Motion supports healthy tendons and joints and is especially intended for horses in the growth phase, non-working horses and horses that are not heavily strained. As the intensity of an effort increases, the strain on tendons and joints also grows, meaning there is a greater risk of injury.
Cavalor Arti Matrix meets the increased needs of the locomotor apparatus in sport horses and provides extra support.
Cavalor ArtiTec provides proven protection at peak times and helps to mitigate negative processes caused by excessive strain.
