Promote & maintain optimal lung & respiratory health.
A NATURAL APPROACH TO PROMOTE & MAINTAIN OPTIMAL LUNG & RESPIRATORY HEALTH
Pulmonex is a supplement program to improve impaired lung functions and allergies. Relief from coughing, wheezing and mucopurulent nasal discharge, symptoms of equine COPD (also known as heaves), as well as exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH) commonly referred to as ‘lung bleeding’. Increases capillary strength.
Grape Seed Extract (95% Proantholyanidin) (5,000 mg per scoop) protects small blood vessels in the lungs from damage to their walls. Helps to stabilize histamine release thereby relieving allergy symptoms. Assists in control of lung bleeding. Grape Seed extract supports the entry of Vitamin C into cells.
Bioflavonoids Rutin, Hesperidin,and Quercetin, (9,000 mg per scoop) enhances the activity of Vitamin C, especially with respect to strengthening blood vessel walls, and maintaining healthy capillaries. Rutin and Hesperidin, in particular, have been reported to aid in the control of exercise-induced lung bleeding. Plant Bioflavonoids work synergistically to provide potent anti-oxidant effects to improve performance, endurance and recovery. Stabilizes most cells that contain histamine. It has demonstrated anti-viral capabilities.
Vitamin C (6,000 mg per scoop) Contributes to wound healing, helps to maintain healthy capillaries, and supports the immune system. May also help to control EIPH (lung bleeding).
Licorice Root (5,000 mgs per scoop) has been used for over 3000 years as a digestive and respiratory aid. This herb has the ability to harmonize with many other herbs, and tastes pleasant for horses. The active ingredient in Licorice is Glycyrrhizin. It produces a thick sticky mucous when ingested, which will reduce gastric acid secretion and encourage healing, particularly for those horses that have completed a treatment with steroids or phenylbutazone, or have gastric ulcers.
Turmeric (5,000 mgs per scoop) The active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, which has both anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. Turmeric is probably best known for its use as a natural anti-inflammatory. It works by significantly reducing the inflammatory pathways in the body, but unlike most other non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, often given to horses, it does not damage the lining of the stomach.
