Meeresalgen-Mineralkomplexe

Lithothamnium calcareum · Kalkalge · Ascophyllum nodosum · Kelp

Short profile in progress — full depth follows step by step.

Mechanism

Kalkalgen wie Lithothamnium calcareum liefern Calcium und Magnesium in poroeser Carbonatmatrix, Braunalgen wie Ascophyllum nodosum zusaetzlich diverse Spurenelemente. Braunalgen (Kelp) sind zugleich sehr jodreich. Als naturnahe Mineral- und Spurenelementquelle werden sie in Ergaenzungsfuttermitteln eingesetzt; die Gesamtrationsbilanz muss dabei beruecksichtigt werden (Futtermittel-VO 767/2009).

Cautions

· Braunalgen/Kelp sehr jodreich - Gefahr der Jod-Ueberversorgung (Schilddruese), Hoechstgehalte beachten
· Auf Schwermetallbelastung (Cadmium, Arsen) und Chargen-CoA achten
· Doppelversorgung mit Mineralfutter vermeiden - Rationsbilanz beim equine-nutritionist
· Keine Heilaussage

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.
