This herb, also known as Gynostemma Pentaphyllum, is a vine from mountainous southern China.
It is well known in China for its support against fatigue and is known for its vitality properties. Jiaogulan for horses maintains healthy cortisol processes by supporting the natural levels of cortisol in the horse body.
It can then be useful in supporting good muscle function and development in all horses.
Jiaogulan works with the body's natural anti-inflammatory pathways supporting the production of endogenous nitric oxide from vascular endothelium. This means that this herb is useful for supporting circulation in the hooves of horses, especially in the sensitive layers.
It is also useful in combination with AAKG to support healthy hoof circulation and excellent AVA shunt activity in cold temperatures. AVA shunts are found in the sensitive laminae and are essential for hoof lamina health and good circulation.
The nutritional benefits of horse jiaogulan can help support breathing and healthy lungs in horses exposed to environmental challenges such as dust and mold spores.
When combined with AAKG, this product can provide targeted nutrition for the maintenance of tendons and ligaments to help support the body's natural repair mechanisms. Dr. Eleanor Kellon has found this to be a very useful supplement.
Precautionary measures
Jiaogulan should not be used in horses that have active inflammation. Active inflammation refers to the early days of tendon and ligament damage or when a horse is newly diagnosed with a laminitic event and still has pulsatile pulses. Jiaogulan is generally considered safe for use during chronic inflammation, where the inflammation persists for a longer period and is not in an acute stage.
