Audevard Laboratories have just unveiled their latest breakthrough in equine care, introducing EKYFLEX TENDON EVO, a revolutionary supplement designed to boost tendon and ligament strength and give horses that extra bounce they need!
At the forefront of scientific developments in equine health, Audevard Laboratories have re-developed and replaced the tried and trusted Ekyflex Tendon in their esteemed orthopaedic lineup. This NEW formula comes packed with cutting-edge ingredients that have been scientifically proven to enhance tendon health.
We all know how wear and tear from age or exercise can take a toll on our horse's tendons, leading to visible signs of weakness such as heat and swelling. In fact, studies on tendons have shown that age and/or exercise can cause a progressive degeneration of the quality of their fibres.1 A whopping 70% of owners have spotted these tell-tale signs without any noticeable lameness. If these signs appear too frequently and are not treated, the risk of tendinitis is increased: a condition which involves a long and insidious healing process, the outcome of which is uncertain, as 80% of horses relapse.2
But the scientific team at Audevard have developed a formulation that is specifically dedicated to the needs of tendons and ligaments. By using a combination of scientifically validated ingredients, Ekyflex Tendon EVO provides triple action support for tendons to strengthen the collagen fibres;
- The creation of quality collagen, crucial for tendon strength (thanks to Tendogen I®, a mix of amino acids, and White Willow)
- Optimisation of the tendon environment to ensure optimal healing and resilience (thanks to Boswellia Serrata and Citrus)
- Strengthening the attachment of tendons and ligaments to the bone, providing added stability and support (thanks to Vitamin D3)
Ekyflex Tendon EVO is recommended for horses with signs of tendon weakness, for horses with a history of tendon problems or for horses in training. It is also ideal for use after a tendon-related incident to support the recovery phase.
Audevard Laboratories are also leading the charge in eco-responsibility with their new plant-based packaging for EKYFLEX TENDON EVO. Because caring for our horses shouldn't come at the expense of the environment, right?
