When is it best to choose Duval TendiFlex, Multibone, or Collagen? We'll explain the differences in ingredients and briefly discuss how they work. We'll also briefly explain the effects of collagen, the main ingredient in TendiFlex.

A well-functioning metabolism is essential for your horse's health. When metabolism becomes unbalanced, various symptoms can occur, such as decreased vitality, skin or coat problems, weight fluctuations, or reduced immunity. These symptoms are more common in older horses , overweight horses or lean breeds such as Frisians, Haflingers, Fjords, Draft Horses, Icelandics and Shetlands. To optimally support metabolism, defense, and digestion , our formula contains carefully selected natural ingredients, each with its own contribution to the horse's metabolism and overall well-being. Chlorella - A highly nutritious algae naturally rich in chlorophyll, proteins, minerals, and nucleic acids (RNA/DNA). Chlorella supports the body's natural cleansing , digestion , and immune system , and contributes to healthy skin and a shiny coat. Cordyceps Sinensis - A valuable mushroom traditionally used to support energy balance , lung function , and natural resistance . Cordyceps helps the body better cope with physical strain and stress . Reishi (Ganoderma Lucidum) – Known as the "mushroom of immortality," reishi supports the immune system , circulation , and the body's natural cleansing process , helping maintain balance and vitality . Algal oil DHA. DHA is the essential fatty acid omega-3 and is directly absorbable. Unlike fatty acids from oils like flaxseed and olive oil, the horse's body no longer needs to convert it into DHA. DHA can also be converted into EPA by the body. This is a plant-based source of omega-3 fatty acids that are readily available to the body. DHA contributes to the natural immune system , supports metabolism , and helps maintain overall condition . Ceylon cinnamon - A high-quality cinnamon that contributes to good digestion and natural immunity . Ceylon cinnamon is rich in antioxidants and supports a healthy metabolism . MSM - Stimulates the removal of waste products from the hoof lamellae and is recommended for supporting healthy hoof growth and strong sulfur bonds within the lamellae. MSM is added to restore or maintain healthy hooves. Lithothamnium is a red algae rich in easily absorbable calcium and magnesium to support strong hooves, bones, and joints and is necessary for new cell formation in these tissues. It buffers excess stomach acid and neutralizes it if it is too acidic, which could damage the stomach lining. For horses with loose manure or irregular stools, Lithothamnium can help restore normal fecal pellets. Turmeric is a particularly potent antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties and is also said to improve insulin sensitivity and help with high blood sugar levels. Turmeric can support older horses by maintaining their natural defenses and stimulating their self-healing capacity. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, and a deficiency often occurs in combination with the symptoms mentioned above. We use the natural and most absorbable form available. Questions?

What ingredients are in Duval RespirAir? And what effect do they have on the horse? You can read about this in the blog post "What effect do the ingredients of Duval RespirAir have?"

First of all, both products are very high quality and certainly have overlapping functions, such as boosting the immune system, improving fitness, and building muscle . However, there are a few key differences, which we've explained in this article. Duval Green Caviar is a real boost for your horse or pony. It contains more omega fatty acids and digestible energy than Multipower and is therefore more recommended for horses in poorer condition or young horses being trained for inspections. Green Caviar can also be a good choice for older horses in training that lose weight and condition more quickly. Green Caviar is therefore good for both overall mass and muscle mass . Multipower is a more concentrated supplement than Green Caviar. This is more suitable for horses that are already at a good weight and mass level, but primarily need to build muscle and improve their condition. Multipower is a highly multifunctional product that promotes muscle and fitness as well as general health. It contains an algae that stimulates cell renewal , resulting in faster muscle growth, hooves, and a shiny coat . The average dosage for a large horse is 100 grams per day, or approximately 50 grams per day for maintenance. The daily dosage for Green Caviar is much higher, averaging 250 to 450 grams per day. This depends on how quickly you want to see results and how your horse responds to the product. We often recommend feeding Green Caviar for several months, while Multipower can be given year-round to provide your horse with additional support and to help it get its daily "greens." After one or more Green Caviar sessions, you can optionally follow up with Multipower. Multipower is incredibly well-balanced and gentle on the organs, supporting their elimination of waste. Multipower contains the algae Chlorella (pyrenoidosa), which helps cleanse the intestines. You don't need to supplement with Multipower; it already contains vitamin E, and Green Caviar does too. Green Caviar contains the algae Spirulina , which is slightly gentler on the intestines and has a slightly higher protein content than Chlorella. Besides spirulina, it contains various other superfoods, such as beetroot powder, and an algae rich in calcium and magnesium, which has a positive effect on the bone development of your (young) horse and is also good for the pH balance in the stomach. Green Caviar generally makes horses a bit more energetic. However, this can be adjusted in increments of 15 kg if you have a particularly energetic horse. You can specify where you want more attention, for example, the stomach, joints, or perhaps a boost in energy. Still unsure? Feel free to send us a message via WhatsApp, including a photo of your horse's current condition, so we can discuss which product is best suited for your horse.

A common problem in (sport)horses is tendon injuries, strains of ligaments, or ligaments. It's important to recognize early signs of a problem with the tendons or ligaments to minimize damage. Proper treatment and management will lead to a better recovery. After your veterinarian's examination and diagnosis, you'll enter the acute phase, during which box rest, cold hosing down the injury, walking, and/or anti-inflammatories/painkillers are often prescribed. A follow-up plan will be developed depending on the type of injury. Many treatments are now available, such as PRP injections, shockwave therapy, stem cell therapy, special hoof care, and laser therapy. It's important to stimulate blood flow to the tendons to ensure the supply of new nutrients and promote tendon repair. A good supplement can provide your horse or pony with the right nutrients to optimally support recovery during rehabilitation. In case of a tendon injury or strain, the challenge is to optimize the formation of scar tissue (new connective tissue) and regain the properties of "strength and elasticity". How the ingredients of Duval TendiFlex work Collagen → provides structure, cohesion, elasticity, and strength to various types of connective tissue, including cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. Collagen helps rebuild cells. Natural MSM → has been added to promote collagen synthesis and strengthen the strength of tendons and ligaments and to support the regenerative capacity (repair) of cartilage. Turmeric → has a strong anti-inflammatory effect on joint pain and wear and tear. Damage to a tendon causes inflammation, heat, and swelling. It's important to minimize inflammation. Because turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties, this spice is recommended during treatment or for the prevention of tendon injuries. Turmeric can also be beneficial for other organs. Lithothamium → is a plant-based source of calcium from red algae and promotes the maintenance of healthy bones and joints and contains highly absorbable minerals such as calcium and magnesium in a good ratio. Vitamin C → is a strong antioxidant and promotes the body’s own production of collagen and new tissue. Green-lipped mussel → contains important fatty acids such as DHA and all glycosaminoglycans that have an important and proven function for the joints.

Pregnant mares.. The period a mare is pregnant can generally be divided into two parts: the first eight months and the last three months. During the first eight months of pregnancy, a mare's usual ration is often sufficient. If you have a healthy pasture, fresh grass often contains the necessary nutrients, such as vitamin E. In the last three months, the foal experiences a significant growth spurt in the mare's uterus. During this growth spurt, the foal receives milk and nutrients from the mare through the bloodstream. These nutrients are essential for growth. This growth spurt demands a great deal of energy from the mare, so proper support during this period is essential to meet its energy needs and obtain the necessary nutrients. Mares that conceive early in the year and therefore foal early often don't have access to (sufficient) fresh grass. Because dried roughage often isn't enough, we've developed a product to provide pregnant and lactating mares with highly absorbable nutrients that also boost their immune system . Duval Mom Support is our new product specifically for pregnant and lactating mares . The mare is in top sport mode! Duval Mom Support contains minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus , which are highly absorbable and contribute to the development of a strong skeleton and dense bone structure. Foals also have an increased need for these minerals from 8 months onwards. Mom Support can be fed in addition to your mare's daily ration to provide extra support during pregnancy and provide her with additional vitamins, minerals, and proteins. Mom Support was tested on several mares last year, and the mares in the test panel proved to maintain excellent weight , have shiny coats , and perform noticeably more jumps for joy . In short, happy moms! Lactation period After the foal is born, its energy and protein needs increase dramatically, doubling their normal levels. In the first few days, milk production is 8 to 20 liters per day. Lactation therefore demands a lot of energy from the mare. A protein deficiency can lead to reduced milk production. So, until the foal begins feeding independently in addition to its mother's milk after weeks or months, Mom Support can help your mare meet this increased energy requirement . https://www.duvalhorseproducts.com/product/mom-support/

How does MultiDigestiv work and is it suitable for your horse? Did you know that a large proportion of horses have sensitive stomachs or digestive systems? Symptoms such as irregular bowel movements, stress, or decreased appetite can occur regularly. A well-functioning digestive system is essential for your horse's well-being and vitality. Duval MultiDigestiv is designed to naturally support the stomach and intestines. This complete supplement contains carefully selected ingredients such as Lithothamnium algae , ginger , cinnamon , and clay – a combination known for its richness in natural minerals like calcium and magnesium. The effects of Duval MultiDigestiv A good acid balance in the stomach Optimal digestion of nutrients Healthy intestinal function and regular fertilization A natural support during stressful moments Maintaining a good appetite and digestive balance When can you use MultiDigestiv? Have a sensitive stomach or intestines Showing irregular or thin manure Suffering from manure water Experiencing increased stress levels (e.g., during travel, training, or seasonal changes) Preventatively, you can use extra support to keep your digestion in balance The natural minerals in Lithothamnium help gently buffer stomach contents, while herbs like ginger and cinnamon support digestion. MultiDigestiv thus helps optimize digestion , allowing nutrients to be better utilized and the horse to feel noticeably more comfortable.

When spring has started again That's of course wonderful because then the horses can go back to the pasture! However, this does mean a major change for your horse's digestive system. After months of dry, fiber-rich hay, your horse is now consuming young, sugary grass. Despite increasing pasture access, there is a significant risk of overeating, which can lead to diarrhea, colic, or laminitis. Does your horse exhibit symptoms of overeating, such as restless behavior, stamping , or do you hear intestinal sounds and is it reaching for its stomach with its mouth? Then we recommend administering Duval Polyc & Duval Carfol orally. Polyc and Carfol ensure adequate gas elimination, calming and relieving cramps in the stomach and intestines. If you detect the above symptoms early and treat them with these products, you can often prevent acute colic. If your horse shows symptoms of direct colic and starts rolling, sweating, and stamping, always contact your veterinarian immediately. Prevention is, of course, better than cure, so gradually increase turnout and pay attention to starchy feed (starch is converted into sugars). Is your horse prone to stomach and intestinal problems? Then start giving it stomach and intestinal support supplements like Duval Multidigestiv 10 days before turning out. This supplement neutralizes stomach acid, promotes normal intestinal movement, regulates sugar absorption, and protects the stomach and intestines. Duval Polyc Duval Carfol Duval MultiDigestiv Or try the Combi package for stomach and intestines!

Why is chlorella so special? Chlorella is packed with healthy nutrients; it's rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, nucleic acids, essential amino acids, enzymes, proteins, and phytonutrients. But one of chlorella's most remarkable properties is its powerful cleansing effect on the body. The properties qualified by subject Performance Promotes general health, well-being and fitness. Gives more energy, Increases performance and endurance Promotes muscle recovery due to the high content of BCAAs (amino acids) leucine, isoleucine, valine and the high content of RNA and DNA (muscle cell recovery) Promotes the removal of waste products, lactic acid, and carbon dioxide from the muscles through the cleansing effect of chlorophyll. This process counteracts muscle acidification. Tissue-building for muscles, connective tissue, hair, and hooves. The high BCAA and RNA/DNA content promotes cell growth.

Properties Excess stomach acid is buffered, thus neutralizing the pH level in the stomach. This supports the maintenance of normal gastric juices, preventing damage to the stomach lining, which can cause a stomach ulcer. Supports stress in the stomach and digestion, stress causes the intestinal flora to be disturbed. Improves the digestion of roughage and optimizes feed efficiency MultiDigestiv helps with loose stools, promotes healthy stools, and improves peristalsis (intestinal contractions), which can also reduce flatulence. Significant improvement in stool quality often occurs within a few days. Inhibits cramps and promotes appetite Application For stomach pain and problems In case of thin or irregular stools (e.g. with manure in them) Horses with a sensitive stomach and prone to colic Horses with increased stress levels or reduced appetite This product works like a "Rennie" in horses, calming stomach acid so that gastric juices don't damage the stomach lining. It also protects the stomach preventively. Furthermore, this product optimizes digestion, allowing for increased nutrient absorption and making it easier to meet your horse's energy needs. This is a significant advantage not only for sport horses but also for older animals that quickly lose weight. LITHOTHAMNIUM ALG | Lithothamnium calcareum. Lithothamnium is a small calcareous algae harvested from the North Sea and Icelandic coast. This algae is capable of crystallizing minerals from seawater on its thallus, such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and trace elements. Lithothamnium is a 100% plant-based calcium and magnesium supplement. Due to its high calcium carbonate content, lithothamnium supports normal stomach acidity and ensures a healthy acid-base balance. It can also be used during pregnancy. Lithothamnium buffers excess stomach acid, thus neutralizing stomach acid and uric acid. Cinnamon | Cinnamon Ceylon Cinnamon is a spice with many beneficial medicinal properties, such as antispasmodic and antiseptic properties. Human and animal studies show that cinnamon has a protective effect against stomach and intestinal ulcers. Cinnamon strengthens the gastric mucosa, which protects the upper part of the stomach from ulcers. If this mucosa is not sufficiently resistant to stomach acid, there is a risk of ulcer development. Cinnamon also has strong antibacterial and antifungal properties. Inhibits cramps and colic Increases blood flow in the stomach wall Digestive aid Stomach stimulant, promotes appetite GINGER | Zingiber officinale The chemicals that give ginger its spicy, pungent flavor are primarily gingerol and shogaol. These two substances reduce intestinal contractions and neutralize stomach acid. Increases the absorption of nutrients in the intestines Improves peristalsis (contractions) in your intestines, which can reduce flatulence Supports heartburn or stomach ulcers CLAY The healing properties of clay have a disinfectant and detoxifying effect. Clay binds to toxins and helps them leave the body. Clay is also a source of many minerals and trace elements and stimulates blood flow and intestinal cleansing. TURMERIC | Curcuma Longa Turmeric has natural anti-inflammatory properties. Stomach ulcers are small inflammations in the stomach lining that damage the stomach lining. Turmeric can help inhibit this and help with intestinal gas.
