Increasing Equine Fitness with Recovery®EQ
Athletic injury and age related decline is generally associated with failure/decline of connective tissue structures such as ligaments, tendons, aponeuroses, fascia, bone, blood vessels and other joint structures.
Connective tissue tends to dry and become less flexible with use and age due mainly to:
- Decreased production of fluid maintaining long-chain glycosaminoglycans structures
- Decreased stability of cell membrane and extra cellular collagen fibers
- Decreased production of glycosaminoglycan structures which results in decreased muscle group size
Inflammation - The Root of Suffering
The result of acute or chronic inflammation is significant and contributes to the following:
- Joint & soft-tissue inflammation causes pain, spasm & decreased flexibility
- Lung inflammation causes bleeding & difficulty breathing
- Skin inflammation causes itching, scaling & irritation
- Blood vessel inflammation causes poor circulation & bleeding
- Digestive tract inflammation causes digestive upset and spasm
- Hoof structure inflammation causes lameness
- Chronic inflammation causes accelerated aging, fatigue and poorperformance
How Recovery®EQ Helps
Recovery®EQ, increases the structural integrity of connective tissue structures and maintains optimum
tissue hydration. It also:
- Improves recovery rates
- Protects against injury
- Increases tissue repair
- Neutralizes lactic acid buildup
- Halts pain and regulates inflammation
- Increases overall training capacity
When tissue resilience is increased, and susceptibility to injury decreased, your horse is able to train to his/her full potential, increasing the chance of victory. In other words, Recovery®EQ helps your horse maximize peak genetic potential.
