Erle

Alnus glutinosa · Schwarzerle

Mechanism

Alnus glutinosa (Schwarzerle) ist in Rinde und Blatt reich an Diarylheptanoiden, insbesondere Oregonin, das in Extrakten stark dominieren kann, dazu Tannine und Flavonoide (New Insights on Phytochemical Features and Biological Properties of Alnus glutinosa Stem Bark, Plants 2022, PMC9570633; Oregonin-Charakterisierung und -Isolierung: PMID 27428455, Fitoterapia). Für Oregonin sind in vitro antioxidative und entzündungsmodulierende Effekte beschrieben. Kontrollierte Pferdestudien zum Erlen-Browsing fehlen; die Verwendung ist traditionsbegründet und nicht durch Pferdedaten belegt.

Cautions

· Gerbstoffreich - hohe Mengen adstringierend, können Nährstoffverfügbarkeit senken.
· Verwechslungssicher bestimmen (Abgrenzung zu Eibe, Bergahorn/Hypoglycin A, Robinie, Eiche).

How the Equiterna Score is built

The Equiterna Score combines three dimensions into a value of 0-100: science (40%), practical experience (30%) and safety (30%). It is transparently derived from evidence level, attributed sources (PubMed/journals), legal classification and cautions. The FEI doping status is shown separately as a competition-law note and does not enter the score. Commissions and vendor relationships have no influence on the score. In addition, the editorial safety rating caps the result: it limits the safety dimension and the overall tier (orange: at most solid). For entries rated red, no score is calculated at all. The rating never raises anything — a green rating does not lift a calculated value.

An editorial assessment of the evidence and safety situation — not a healing claim and not an individual recommendation. It does not replace veterinary advice.
