Hippo Artrin supplementary feed powder for horses (1000 g)

Product features

HippoArtrin is a supplementary feed for horses that has been specially developed to support the animals' joints and cartilage tissue.Cartilage is a special connective tissue that is characterized by its elasticity and resistance to pressure.The cartilage cells are embedded in a matrix of collagen fibers and glucosaminoglucans, which can store water like a sponge.Since cartilage tissue is not supplied with blood, the cartilage cells are only supplied with nutrients when nutrient-rich water is pressed into the sponge structure through movement.For this reason, cartilage tissue is very sensitive to lack of exercise and nutritional disorders.

Exercise and an optimal supply of nutrients are therefore essential for healthy cartilage and perfect joint function.HippoArtrin provides the joints with a balanced, high-quality supply of specific nutrients and thus prevents nutritional deficiency symptoms.No prescription is required for this product.

Feeding recommendation

HippoArtrin is administered through food.The recommended daily dose is 15 g for horses and 10 g for foals and ponies.One heaped measuring spoon corresponds to 15 g.The recommended feeding period is at least 5 to 6 weeks.Long-term administration is safe and the dose can be increased if necessary.Since this supplementary feed has a higher selenium content, it may only be fed up to 5% of the daily ration.HippoArtrin should not be stored above 25 °C and in a dry place.

Active ingredients and their functions

The glucosaminoglucans chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine are important cartilage building materials that are required for water-binding capacity and elasticity.Green-lipped mussel contains a high proportion of omega-3 fatty acids and is rich in trace elements such as zinc, copper and manganese, natural antioxidants, vitamin E and organic silicon oxide.Field horsetail has a high content of organically bound silicon, which is required for the elasticity and strength of collagen fibers.Boswellia provides valuable bioflavonoids.Vitamin E and selenium are needed to break down free radicals, while DL-methionine supplies the cartilage with highly bioactive sulfur.
