Vitazyme Lung Health Plus
Supporting normal lung function and oxygen transport
For performance horses needing support in antioxidant protection, blood clotting, and red blood cell formation to maintain normal, healthy lung function and optimal oxygen transport during high-intensity exercise.
It is estimated that 75% of racehorses will bleed from the lungs at some stage during their career.
Lung Health Plus was designed to improve the strength and elasticity of the arteries in the lungs and increasing the clotting ability of blood to help repair minor vessel ruptures.
High purity Hesperidin included which can play a role in increasing the strength and flexibility on the blood vessels in the lungs
A large dose of antioxidant protection needed to protect the capillary membranes from free radicals which can damage the cell walls. Vitamin K is a blood coagulant, helping the blood to clot more quickly. Plays a role in the formation of red blood cells.
PLUS - Organic Sulfur (MSM) is an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties, helping to fight oxidation induced damage to cells.
PLUS - Grapeseed Extract, a natural antioxidant, may lower blood pressure.
