Linde

Tilia spp. · Winter-/Sommerlinde

Mechanism

Tilia-Blätter und -Blüten enthalten Schleimstoffe (vor allem Galactomannane), Flavonoide (Tiliroside, Astragalin, Quercetin- und Kaempferol-Glykoside), kondensierte Tannine und Phenolsäuren (UHPLC-DAD-MS/MS-Analyse von Lindenblüten, Industrial Crops and Products 2020, ScienceDirect S0926669020306075; Metaboliten und Einfluss auf die humane Darmmikrobiota ex vivo: J Ethnopharmacol 2022, ScienceDirect S0378874122003944). Die Mucilago wirkt physikalisch reizmildernd (demulcent) auf Schleimhäute; für Tiliroside sind in vitro entzündungsmodulierende Effekte beschrieben. Kontrollierte Pferdestudien fehlen - die Anwendung ist traditions- und mechanistisch begründet, nicht durch Pferde-RCTs belegt.

Cautions

· Schleimstoffe können die Aufnahme gleichzeitig gegebener Wirkstoffe verzögern - zeitlichen Abstand halten.
· 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.
