Movicur has proven itself over years of application, and its rich variety of nutrients makes it an ideal supplement for hard-working competition horses, for valuable youngsters and older approved horses.

Research subject green lipped mussel

The most crucial nutritional component of Movicur is the New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel extract. According to the marine scientist John Croft, its special nutritional impact is based on interacting biological functions. However according to his findings, only high-quality, premium mussel extracts have been found to unfold their entire beneficial effect as this mussel extract contains a special carbohydrate complex that is capable of controlling white blood cell proliferation the body produces in response to infection, but without suppressing the body’s immune system. Mussel extract also contains special long-chain fatty acids and enzymes which promote the formation of infection-inhibiting prostaglandins that are known for smoothly counteracting infections.
John Croft also talks about a third mechanism of action. It is the nutritious supply with mucopolysaccharides, also known as glycosaminoglycan. The body’s own chondrocytes are normally able to produce this type of protein-sugar compounds that contribute to the proper development of the cartilage tissue, giving the cartilage its pressure- and shock-absorbing and the synovial fluid its friction-reducing properties. Unfortunately, a horse’s diet is frequently too unbalanced, and years of deficiency can severely disturb the glycosaminoglycan-synthesis.

Efficient nutrient supplementation

The combination of the New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel with herbs, fermented brown millet and horsetail as sources of natural silicon, collagen-forming proteins, ocean-derived ground algae extract that protects the tissue, and the special supply with trace elements make Movicur a unique and extremely efficient supplement serving different purposes. It sustainably supports the body’s ability to regenerate and build up connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joint, and with additional ingredients such as vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids derived from mussel extract and linseed as well as complex sugar derived from algae, Movicur contains a huge range of natural tissue-protective active ingredients.
A healthy and balanced diet can efficiently reduce any risk of loss of elasticity and progressive cartilage degeneration as well as the thinning of the synovial fluid which is also associated with a considerable loss of its lubricating properties.
