The oils in Cavalor LaminAid are also attributed with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, thereby inhibiting the production of free radicals and promoting tissue repair in the hoof. Cavalor LaminAid is a unique and versatile supplement that works in a holistic way to address not only symptoms but also causal factors for a long-lasting effect for horses susceptible to the symptoms of laminitis.
Proven effect during field studies with horses with laminitis
he oils in Cavalor LaminAid were individually selected based on the above scientific insights and were subjected to practical tests that yielded astonishing health results. By means of visual inspection, 30 horses/ponies with mild to moderate degrees of laminitis (i.e. increased sensitivity and visible lameness) were selected for treatment with LaminAid. The animals received a daily dose of LaminAid (50 ml/day) over four weeks, administered perorally, as well as a hoof oil containing essential oils applied topically to the hooves (Cavalor PodoSens). Some of the animals also received an adapted feed ration.
Field test results: The results of the field tests are astonishing. On the 2nd visual inspection (after four weeks of treatment), the lameness of 28 out of 30 horses had very clearly improved. None of the horse owners reported an adverse treatment effect. ° The extensive results of the study can always be requested.
Key Ingredients:
Betula alba L. 15 ml /L, Allium sativum L. 5 ml/L, Eucalyptus globulus Labil 20 ml /L
The following properties can explain the effects of Cavalor LaminAid as a blend of different essential oils:
• Analgesic: Contains monoterpenes such as limonene and linalool that have been described as exerting their action through sensitisation and downregulation of receptors in the nervous system and affecting the Na+ and/ or Ca++ channels.
• Antibacterial: Contains either components with a hydroxyl group (phenolic compounds such as carvacrol, eugenol, thymol, etc.), an ester group (geranyl acetate and bornyl acetate), terpene alcohols (geraniol, citronellol), ketones (carvone), aliphatic hydrocarbon, sesquiterpenes (limonene) or terpene-containing aldehydes (citronellal, neral and geranial). The proposed mechanism of action of these chemical components is by diffusion of the bacterial cell membranes, which increases permeability with leakage of vital intracellular components, finally leading to apoptosis.
• Antioxidant: Contains components such as alkaloids, flavonoids and phenols (carvacrol, carvone, caryophyllene limonene, cineole and thymol). These chemical components are powerful free radical scavengers.
• Supports circulation: Has a positive effect on circulation by preventing lipid peroxidation and haemolysis and promoting the fluidity of erythrocytes.
• Supports metabolism: Has a positive effect on fat and insulin metabolism (lower cholesterol, triglycerides, raised HDL, lower glucose levels, prevention of fat accumulation, etc.).
• Supports digestion: Combats the growth of unwanted intestinal bacteria and promotes healthy fermentation.
• Anti-inflammatory: Contains components such as terpinen-4-ol, eugenol, neral and geranial that have been reported to have an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the synthesis of certain inflammatory mediators.
