In horses undergoing strenuous exercise, microcirculation can be compromised, potentially leading to problems, particularly in the legs. OptiLegX® stimulates microcirculation, leading to the following important effects:
Effects of OptiLegX® on the legs
Reduces swelling
Heavy exertion often results in (painful) swelling. Swelling, in turn, increases pressure on the small blood and lymphatic vessels, which then drain fluid less effectively. This creates a vicious cycle, causing swollen legs to persist for a long time. OptiLegX® ensures that this discomfort disappears quickly.
Increased blood circulation to the muscles.
The continuous effect of OptiLegX® on the legs increases blood flow to the muscles. This positively impacts the supply of nutrients and oxygen, and the removal of waste products and carbon dioxide. This is crucial for peak performance and recovery.
Promotes thorough recovery
Using OptiLegX® also improves blood flow to the muscles themselves, thereby ensuring continued circulation.
Reduction of tissue reaction
Heavy training and overuse lead to a tissue reaction similar to inflammation. Pain, swelling, and tenderness typically lead to limited mobility and reduced performance due to reaction factors and impaired circulation. The OptiLegX® prevents these reactions by improving blood flow, effectively resolving the tissue reaction. This alleviates symptoms associated with heavy training and declining performance.
Improved muscular blood flow
The continuous massaging effect of the OptiLegX® increases blood flow to the muscle. Not only is more blood transported to the muscle, but blood flow within the muscle itself is also enhanced.
