Recovery EQ

By supplementing Recovery®EQ, recognized by the prestigious Horse Journal as the "Best Performer Overall", veterinarians and horsemen alike safely and effectively prevent & reverse many lameness-related conditions while improving the quality and rate of recovery after trauma.

Recovery®EQ contains Nutricol® a proprietary mix of proven ingredients purified from grapes and green tea (no caffeine). Nutricol® decreases trauma - from chronic lameness, surgery, injury & over-training - by both increasing the cell's resistance to damage & improving it's ability to repair damage.

Recovery®EQ will not test and so is safe to use with any performance horse.

How does Recovery EQ work?

To understand how Recovery®EQ helps improve a horse's quality of life*, let’s take a look at how cells behave when they are aging and/or damaged by trauma such as injury, surgery or over-training.

When a cell is irritated or damaged, or when it begins to age, its membranes break down. As a result, compounds contained within the cell walls are released into the cell matrix. Some of these substances, such as histamine, give rise to inflammation and associated pain.

Inflammation is a horse's natural response to injury. Inflammation is characterized by redness, swelling, heat and moderate to intense discomfort. When a joint becomes inflamed, your horse may experience any or all of these symptoms. This can prevent the joint from moving properly, leading to stiffness and loss of function.

Researchers have found that the “diseases of aging” in horses such as arthritis, navicular and laminitis, have similar underlying factors: a decrease in cell stability leading to membrane damage and subsequent release of compounds that promote damage, spasm and inflammation.

The ingredients in Recovery®EQ work by stabilizing the membranes of the cells, promoting healing of existing damage and helping to prevent further damage. On a practical level, this means quality of life is improved, and you will see your horse experiencing the freedom to move.

Specifications

Recovery®EQ orally administered powder contains Nutricol® — a proprietary bioflavonoid complex from tea and grapes recognized for their health-promoting action, glucosamine, MSM (methyl sulfonyl methane), DMG (dimethylglycine) , magnesium, vitamin C and natural vitamin E.

Nutricol® is a proprietary bioflavonoid complex containing epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), theaflavin, proanthocyanidins and resveratrol from Vitis vinifera (grape) and Camellia sinensis (green tea - decaffeinated).

Each scoop (26 grams / 0.9 ounces / 2 tablespoons) contains:
1,000mg Nutricol®
10,000mg glucosamine
10,000mg MSM
1,000mg DMG (dimethylglycine hydrochloride)
1,400mg buffered vitamin C
750iu natural vitamin E
525mg elemental magnesium

Suggested use:

Introduce gradually over a two week period to a concentrated dose of ½ scoop per 300 lbs body weight. Mix with food.

After 30 - 60 days it may be possible to reduce intake to ¼ scoop per 300lbs body weight.

*When oxygen is utilized by the body, it produces a highly reactive “exhaust” that is damaging to the cells.

The reactive molecules in this exhaust are commonly referred to as “free radicals” or reactive oxygen species (ROS). While some free radicals play a necessary role in the metabolic process, an overabundance of them is believed by many researchers to be a primary cause of cell destruction, inflammation, degenerative disease and aging. (Among the diseases attributed to increased free radical action are heart disease, arthritis, cancers, liver disease, cataracts, macular degeneration (age-related vision loss), diabetes, digestive diseases, auto-immune disease and breathing conditions.)

The bioactive components of Nutricol® have been shown in numerous studies to curb the production of free radicals in animals and in humans. It is proposed that regular use of the product will help reduce the rate of cell damage attributed to free radical action.

Recovery®EQ is safe to administer to brood mares and many veterinarians have safely administered Recovery®EQ to pregnant and nursing mares over the past 7 years.
