The fourth generation joint supplement from Cavalor, ArtiTec liquid has been formulated over 7 years of scientific research to provide support for high performance horses.
As the gold standard for equine joint support, Cavalor ArtiTec has an anti-inflammatory effect, supports cartilage protection and repair, and may also be useful in preventing the development of osteo arthritis.
This makes it ideal for maintaining hard-working sport horses who are at greater risk of strain, and also for those horses who need extra joint support following injury.
It contains only natural ingredients, and is permitted for use under FEI and Jockey Club rules.
Use
For horses in heavy competition work or those in need of strong intervention to maintain soundness. ArtiTec works on several levels:
-
Provide the nutrients needed to assist the joints and synovia.
-
Has a strong anti-inflammatory effect.
-
Stimulates the body's resistance to fight against auto-immune reactions.
Research
Cavalor ArtiTec is the result of a 7 year research program studying the efficacy and synergistic potential of the individual raw materials and botanical ingredients on inflammation, cartilage protection and repair.
Selection of the ingredients and optimising the product formulation was carried out at the University of Prince Edward Island, Canada, and further testing was carried out at the University of Ghent.
Clinical field testing by Belgian veterinarians then took place on 31 horses with lameness of more than 3 months duration and which had been determined was localised to the foot by a positive digital palmar nerve block. The horses received a dose of 9oml ArtiTec per day for 1 month with no concurrent treatments. The efficacy of the product was rated similarly by both riders and equine practitioners: in 8/31 (26%) horses, there was no relevant change in observed lameness, whereas in 23/31 (74%) horses, lameness improved moderately (8/31; 26 %) or substantially (15/31; 48%).
