Goldmedics has now consolidated this expertise into its own range of supplements, in collaboration with one of the European pioneers of functional nutrition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The liver is a crucial organ. Inadequate liver function quickly leads to decreased performance, weight loss, a duller coat, and insufficient effectiveness of diet, medication, vitamins, or supplements.

These are the main ingredients:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Milk thistle extract is the most scientifically supported product of the herbs used for liver and kidney health. We use a preparation with the highest silymarin (a mixture of polyphenols) content. Milk thistle has been used in herbal treatments for humans for over 2,000 years; various studies indicate its protection of the liver against toxins and its ability to help it regenerate new cells. The precipitate in Clear is due to the generous dosage of this ingredient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e - Magnesium sulfate has liver-purifying properties and a stimulating effect on bile secretion, resulting in better digestion.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMethionine is an essential amino acid (i.e., it cannot be synthesized by the horse itself and must be obtained through diet or supplements). As a sulfur-containing amino acid, methionine is essential for protein synthesis and the biosynthesis of a wide range of organic substances, including adrenaline and creatine. In horses, methionine is also converted into cysteine ​​and glutathione, which are crucial for liver detoxification. As a sulfur-containing amino acid, methionine also improves hoof quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Choline is officially recognized as an essential nutrient. The body can synthesize a small amount, but the majority must be obtained through food or supplements. A choline deficiency can lead to damage. Choline can prevent fat storage in the liver.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCarnitine plays an important role in the body's energy production. It is normally synthesized in the liver and kidneys. It has a defatting effect, particularly in the liver. Carnitine supplementation has been shown to improve severe liver disorders. Carnitine is rarely found in roughage; supplementation also supports the heart and skeletal muscles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e B vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12) are a group of water-soluble vitamins that help extract energy from nutrients. B12 is stored in the liver. Deficiencies in B vitamins prevent the liver from functioning properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Administration:\u003cbr\u003e Clear Strong (5 days 2 x 50 ml\/day) comes in a 500 ml package, so for 1 treatment for 5 days to support acute problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Composition Clear Strong:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Water, Magnesium Sulfate.7aq, Silybum marianum(Milk Thistle), Potassium Sorbate.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eNutritional additives per l: Choline bitartrate: 30,000mg; DL-Methionine: 30,000mg; Vitamin B1(Thiamine): 14,000mg; L-Carnitine tartrate: 12,000mg; Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxin HCL): 500mg; Vitamin B2(Riboflavin): 200mg; Vitamin B12(Cyanocobalamin): 15mg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Important!

COMBI is a synergistic blend of unique nutritional ingredients not yet available on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e COMBI GOLD is a powerful formula, and COMBI PLATINUM is even more powerful. COMBI PLATINUM contains 50% more prebiotics and also contains Co-enzyme Q10.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Only ingredients that have a scientifically proven effect and have achieved visible results in practice are used for this purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e What is COMBI indicated for?\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e- As a daily vitamin\/mineral supplement. There is a growing consensus in the scientific community that for the vast majority of horses, including most sport horses competing at national levels, a diet of only roughage combined with a good daily vitamin\/mineral supplement is the best choice. COMBI perfectly meets this last requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e - To help protect optimal gut microbial flora during changes in external factors. The quality and activity of gut flora are particularly important for the health and performance of horses. External factors such as transport, stress, changes in roughage quality, and the administration of concentrated feed can negatively impact this. COMBI helps minimize these changes.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e- To help protect optimal intestinal microbial flora during medication. Many types of medication damage the composition and functioning of intestinal flora. This includes antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, painkillers, and anesthetics. COMBI provides supportive protection against these attacks on the flora. We have known cases of horses that almost always produced very liquid manure, but returned to normal within a very short time after switching completely to roughage and COMBI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e To reduce the risk of colic or its disastrous consequences. 4 to 10% of horses experience colic annually; 10 to 15% of these are recurring. Most horses will therefore experience bouts of colic during their lifetime. Some bouts can have far-reaching consequences; in older horses, colic is the most common cause of death of all diseases. Disruption of the flora is one of the main reasons for colic; COMBI helps minimize this.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTo counteract the loss of immunity that comes with aging. The majority of a horse's immune system is provided by its intestinal flora. COMBI contributes to maintaining optimal intestinal flora.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e To counteract degenerative signs of aging. One of the most important changes associated with aging is the development of chronic inflammation at a relatively low level, which leads to tissue degeneration, known as \"inflamm-aging.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This plays a role in the deterioration process that occurs with aging, osteoarthritis, heart and lung problems, Cushing's syndrome and insulin resistance, reduced energy production and utilization, and weakened immunity. Ingredients in COMBI help combat this chronic inflammation. Furthermore, the majority of a horse's immune system is provided by its intestinal flora. COMBI contributes to maintaining optimal intestinal flora through its prebiotics.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTo reduce the risk or severity of joint problems. 60% of lameness problems in horses are caused by osteoarthritis. It's likely that most horses will experience this as they get older. To reduce this risk or lessen the severity of the problem, using an effective daily supplement like COMBI is a good choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e - To maintain liver function. The liver is a crucial organ; its inadequate functioning quickly leads to decreased performance, weight loss, a duller coat, and insufficient effectiveness of food, medication, vitamins, or supplements. The changing seasons, especially autumn and spring, administering medication, stress, special exertion, transport, etc., all place significant strain on the liver. COMBI supports liver function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e These are the main ingredients:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePrebiotics. Prebiotics are substances that have a beneficial effect on the flora of the gastrointestinal tract by providing a substrate (food) for beneficial flora and keeping \"bad\" flora under control. The microbial intestinal flora is often described as the \"forgotten\" organ. There are more bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract than cells in the body. It is one of the finest examples of synergy between host and host after centuries of evolution. The most important part of the host's immune system is located in this flora. A healthy composition and functioning of this flora is one of the most important factors for general health; this has been demonstrated in hundreds of scientific publications. The prebiotics present in COMBI are a sophisticated blend of various active ingredients to ensure that the flora is supported throughout the horse's gastrointestinal tract for the longest possible period.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCOMBI GOLD contains a significant amount of prebiotics. COMBI PLATINUM has an even 50% higher concentration!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e A collagen peptide with a very specific molecular weight was added. Seventy percent of cartilage consists of collagen. Research with these peptides demonstrated improvements in pain and lameness, mobility, vitality, and the production of new cartilage. The effect on chondrocytes is also clear. More cartilage is built than is broken down naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In people who took the supplement for 3 months compared to people who took a placebo (a similar product but without active ingredients) for those 3 months, the effect of the supplement on cartilage repair is very clear.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMagnesium sulfate has liver-purifying properties and stimulates bile secretion, resulting in improved digestion. The liver is a crucial organ; its underfunctioning quickly leads to decreased performance, weight loss, a duller coat, and insufficient effectiveness of food, medication, vitamins, or supplements. The changing seasons, especially autumn and spring, medication administration, stress, and special exertion, all place significant strain on the liver.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eL-Methionine (the natural form; not a racemic chemical mixture) is an essential amino acid (meaning it cannot be synthesized by the horse itself and must be obtained through diet or supplements). As a sulfur-containing amino acid, L-Methionine is essential for protein synthesis and the biosynthesis of a wide range of organic substances, including adrenaline and creatine. In horses, methionine is also converted into cysteine ​​and glutathione, which are crucial for liver detoxification. As a sulfur-containing amino acid, L-Methionine also improves hoof quality.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCOMBI also contains easily absorbable vitamins and minerals. Most mineral\/vitamin supplements on the market contain an extensive list of vitamins\/minerals. However, the reality is that a good basic diet for a horse already contains sufficient amounts of many of these vitamins and minerals, so the extras are simply excreted by the body. Our starting point for Combi was different. We identified the systematic deficiencies and added only the following in sufficient quantities:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e - Iron, Manganese, Selenium and Cobalt\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBlood analysis, which is usually used to determine mineral deficiencies in horses, is not the correct method for diagnosing these deficiencies. Scientific research shows that for most minerals, there is no correlation between blood levels and levels in the body's cells (where the minerals ultimately have to do their work!). A better method is mane analysis. Based on this, it has been determined that the minerals most horses are deficient in are iron, manganese, selenium, and cobalt. In a significant number of our horses, the levels for these minerals are alarmingly low.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIron's main function is blood production. Manganese's essential functions lie in the construction of cartilage and skeletal structure. Some enzyme systems, particularly oxidases and transaminases, require manganese for their function. Selenium is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, and it acts as an antagonist against toxic heavy metals by eliminating them through the formation of soluble complexes. Selenium is important for thyroid metabolism, and low levels also cause problems with muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Cobalt plays a role in red blood cell production (oxygen transport), the repair of myelin in the nervous system, and the functioning of the pancreas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e B vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12) are a group of water-soluble vitamins that play a role in extracting energy from nutrients and in cellular metabolism. B12 is stored in the liver. Deficiencies in B vitamins prevent the liver from functioning properly.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eVitamin E (D-alpha tocopherol, the natural form; not a racemic chemical mixture) is an antioxidant. It protects against the harmful effects of free radicals, which damage cells, tissues, and organs. Vitamin E also plays a role in neurological functions and the immune system. Deficiencies can lead to ataxia and myopathy. In our experience, many horses exhibit vitamin E deficiencies, either usually or during certain periods of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e MSM has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It is also an important organic sulfur compound. Various hormones, enzymes, proteins, and the structure and strength of cartilage, skin, and hair depend on the body's sulfur concentration. Sulfur is also one of the most important mineral components of collagen, which is present in joints, tendons, and ligaments.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCOMBI PLATINUM also contains a yeast extract enriched with Co-enzyme Q10. Co-enzyme Q10 works not only on muscles, tendons, and ligaments but also on all other organs of the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e An interesting side effect is the beneficial effects that COMBI has on the skin and hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Dosage: The dose is 25\/30 ml\/day per 500 kg horse. In the case of protection against an acute external stressor or medication that disrupts gut flora, a double dose is recommended, preferably starting a few days beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e CAUTION: In case of a significant acute joint, muscle, or liver problem, the use of FLEX, POWER and CLEAR is more appropriate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bottle capacity: 1 liter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Goldmedics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52025802817802,"sku":"1111369","price":79.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0912\/5412\/8906\/files\/goldmedics-combi-platinum_cb7e73a7-1c60-4987-a3a4-a4882ed25adc.jpg?v=1767969706"},{"product_id":"combi-gold-1-liter","title":"Combi Gold 1 liter","description":"\u003ch3\u003e Goldmedics Combi Gold\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Does your horse have no specific problems, but would you like to reduce the chances of them occurring in the future? \u003cbr\u003eDo you want to help your horse live a longer, healthy life?\u003cbr\u003e Are you convinced that roughage is actually better for your horse than concentrated feed, and do you want to ensure that he doesn't miss out on anything if you leave out concentrated feed?\u003cbr\u003e Does your horse need to take medication soon, and do you want to help protect its flora against the negative effects of those drugs?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e COMBI GOLD and COMBI PLATINUM are balanced liquid, complementary, and natural horse feed supplements for daily use, designed to provide comprehensive support for all horses, including those competing.

Disruption of the flora is one of the main reasons for colic; COMBI helps minimize this.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTo counteract the loss of immunity that comes with aging. The majority of a horse's immune system is provided by its intestinal flora. COMBI contributes to maintaining optimal intestinal flora.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e To counteract degenerative signs of aging. One of the most important changes associated with aging is the development of chronic inflammation at a relatively low level, which leads to tissue degeneration, known as \"inflamm-aging.\"\u003cbr\u003e This plays a role in the deterioration process that occurs with aging, osteoarthritis, heart and lung problems, Cushing's syndrome and insulin resistance, reduced energy production and utilization, and weakened immunity. Ingredients in COMBI help combat this chronic inflammation. Furthermore, the majority of a horse's immune system is provided by its intestinal flora. COMBI contributes to maintaining optimal intestinal flora through its prebiotics.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTo reduce the risk or severity of joint problems. 60% of lameness problems in horses are caused by osteoarthritis. It's likely that most horses will experience this as they get older. To reduce this risk or lessen the severity of the problem, using an effective daily supplement like COMBI is a good choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e - To maintain liver function. The liver is a crucial organ; its inadequate functioning quickly leads to decreased performance, weight loss, a duller coat, and insufficient effectiveness of food, medication, vitamins, or supplements. The changing seasons, especially autumn and spring, administering medication, stress, special exertion, transport, etc., all place significant strain on the liver. COMBI supports liver function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e These are the main ingredients:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePrebiotics. Prebiotics are substances that have a beneficial effect on the flora of the gastrointestinal tract by providing a substrate (food) for beneficial flora and keeping \"bad\" flora under control. The microbial intestinal flora is often described as the \"forgotten\" organ. There are more bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract than cells in the body. It is one of the finest examples of synergy between host and host after centuries of evolution. The most important part of the host's immune system is located in this flora. A healthy composition and functioning of this flora is one of the most important factors for general health; this has been demonstrated in hundreds of scientific publications. The prebiotics present in COMBI are a sophisticated blend of various active ingredients to ensure that the flora is supported throughout the horse's gastrointestinal tract for the longest possible period. \u003cbr\u003eCOMBI GOLD contains a significant amount of prebiotics. COMBI PLATINUM has an even 50% higher concentration!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e A collagen peptide with a very specific molecular weight was added. Seventy percent of cartilage consists of collagen. Research with these peptides demonstrated improvements in pain and lameness, mobility, vitality, and the production of new cartilage. The effect on chondrocytes is also clear. More cartilage is built than is broken down naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In people who took the supplement for 3 months compared to people who took a placebo (a similar product but without active ingredients) for those 3 months, the effect of the supplement on cartilage repair is very clear.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMagnesium sulfate has liver-purifying properties and stimulates bile secretion, resulting in improved digestion. The liver is a crucial organ; its underfunctioning quickly leads to decreased performance, weight loss, a duller coat, and insufficient effectiveness of food, medication, vitamins, or supplements. The changing seasons, especially autumn and spring, medication administration, stress, and special exertion, all place significant strain on the liver.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eL-Methionine (the natural form; not a racemic chemical mixture) is an essential amino acid (meaning it cannot be synthesized by the horse itself and must be obtained through diet or supplements). As a sulfur-containing amino acid, L-Methionine is essential for protein synthesis and the biosynthesis of a wide range of organic substances, including adrenaline and creatine. In horses, methionine is also converted into cysteine ​​and glutathione, which are crucial for liver detoxification. As a sulfur-containing amino acid, L-Methionine also improves hoof quality.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCOMBI also contains easily absorbable vitamins and minerals. Most mineral\/vitamin supplements on the market contain an extensive list of vitamins\/minerals. However, the reality is that a good basic diet for a horse already contains sufficient amounts of many of these vitamins and minerals, so the extras are simply excreted by the body. Our starting point for Combi was different. We identified the systematic deficiencies and added only the following in sufficient quantities:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e - Iron, Manganese, Selenium and Cobalt \u003cbr\u003eBlood analysis, which is usually used to determine mineral deficiencies in horses, is not the correct method for diagnosing these deficiencies. Scientific research shows that for most minerals, there is no correlation between blood levels and levels in the body's cells (where the minerals ultimately have to do their work!). A better method is mane analysis. Based on this, it has been determined that the minerals most horses are deficient in are iron, manganese, selenium, and cobalt. In a significant number of our horses, the levels for these minerals are alarmingly low.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIron's main function is blood production. Manganese's essential functions lie in the construction of cartilage and skeletal structure. Some enzyme systems, particularly oxidases and transaminases, require manganese for their function. Selenium is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, and it acts as an antagonist against toxic heavy metals by eliminating them through the formation of soluble complexes. Selenium is important for thyroid metabolism, and low levels also cause problems with muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Cobalt plays a role in red blood cell production (oxygen transport), the repair of myelin in the nervous system, and the functioning of the pancreas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e B vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12) are a group of water-soluble vitamins that play a role in extracting energy from nutrients and in cellular metabolism. B12 is stored in the liver. Deficiencies in B vitamins prevent the liver from functioning properly.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eVitamin E (D-alpha tocopherol, the natural form; not a racemic chemical mixture) is an antioxidant. It protects against the harmful effects of free radicals, which damage cells, tissues, and organs. Vitamin E also plays a role in neurological functions and the immune system. Deficiencies can lead to ataxia and myopathy. In our experience, many horses exhibit vitamin E deficiencies, either usually or during certain periods of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e MSM has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It is also an important organic sulfur compound. Various hormones, enzymes, proteins, and the structure and strength of cartilage, skin, and hair depend on the body's sulfur concentration. Sulfur is also one of the most important mineral components of collagen, which is present in joints, tendons, and ligaments.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCOMBI PLATINUM also contains a yeast extract enriched with Co-enzyme Q10. Co-enzyme Q10 works not only on muscles, tendons, and ligaments but also on all other organs of the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e An interesting side effect is the beneficial effects that COMBI has on the skin and hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Dosage: The dose is 25\/30 ml\/day per 500 kg horse. In the case of protection against an acute external stressor or medication that disrupts gut flora, a double dose is recommended, preferably starting a few days beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e CAUTION: In case of a significant acute joint, muscle, or liver problem, the use of FLEX, POWER and CLEAR is more appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Bottle capacity: 1 liter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Goldmedics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52025802850570,"sku":null,"price":69.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0912\/5412\/8906\/files\/goldmedics-combi-gold_4e4a6d6c-54e8-4361-bdfa-76121bcedd04.jpg?v=1767969707"},{"product_id":"gold-is-een-vloeibare-gemakkelijk-toedienbare-en-b","title":"Vita E Gold 1 liter","description":"\u003cp\u003e Vita E Gold 1 liter\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVITA E GOLD is a liquid, easy-to-administer, and highly absorbable form of natural vitamin E: RRR-alpha tocopherol (D-alpha tocopherol).
