Hainbuche

Carpinus betulus · Weißbuche

Mechanism

Blätter von Carpinus betulus enthalten ein breites Polyphenolspektrum - Gallo- und Ellagitannine, Catechine/Procyanidine, Flavonol-Glykoside und cyclische Diarylheptanoide (Isolation and quantification of diarylheptanoids from European hornbeam, PMID 34973466, J Pharm Biomed Anal; detailliertes Polyphenolprofil und Antioxidanzkapazität der Blätter: Industrial Crops and Products 2016, ScienceDirect S0926669016302631). Die Blätter zeigen in vitro eine hohe antioxidative Kapazität. Kontrollierte Pferdestudien fehlen; Hainbuchenlaub gilt praktisch als schmackhaftes Browsing-Laub, die Einordnung ist traditions- und botanikbegründet.

Cautions

· Gerbstoffreich - große Mengen adstringierend und nährstoffbindend.
· 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.
