Evergreen EverZYME EQ is a therapeutic formula with one of the ultimate patented systemic enzymes available for horses today. This formula is a multi-enzyme blend of non-animal source enzymes containing a combination of Proteases as well as other enzymes to facilitate movement as well as tissue and muscle healing. A special blend of fungal Protease, Bromelain and Papain are combined with Peptizyme SP, a powerful Peptidase. This Peptidase enzyme is used worldwide for its inflammatory properties. The formula also contains doses of Amylase and Lipase as well as a natural gooseberry called Amla. This unique berry provides synergistic support to the enzyme blend. Evergreen EverZYME EQ also contains Rutin, an important bioflavonoid that helps repair damaged tissue. This is an exceptional natural choice for horses suffering from arthritis, joint pain, inflammation, and wound healing. Evergreen EverZYME EQ is very effective for an active athletic horse to ensure a prompt recovery from soreness and inflammation due to stress and over activity.

Why Systemic Enzymes?

First, Systemic Enzymes should not be confused with digestive enzymes. Certain Enzymes are the first line of defense against inflammation. Inflammation is a reaction by the immune system to an irritation. Wherever in the body, be it a joint, muscle, gland, or organ, if there is a problem the first thing that happens is inflammation. After inflammation comes the fibrotic tissue which is laid down on the injured tissue or part of the body. Specific Systemic Enzymes like Natto Kinase, Serrapeptase and Proteases are classified as Fibrinolytic (fibrin lysing) and Proteolytic (protein digesting) enzymes. Each enzyme is unique in the way it catalyzes proteins. Combining these enzymes creates a synergistic approach to reducing excessive fibrotic tissue, which is also called scar tissue.

If we replace the lost enzymes, we can reduce and eliminate the amount of scar tissue the body accumulates.

Research has shown there is a correlation between disease, excessive fibrin, and inflammation (pain). If inflammation is not controlled and the body continues to fight the battle, symptoms of chronic inflammation only get worse.

NSAIDS give temporary relief but do not fix the underlying cause of the problem, Systemic enzymes work to reduce inflammation and promote healing without any side effects. Systemic enzymes also;

Stiffness and Arthritis: Horses indeed experience stiffness in the legs and joints especially after activity and years of wear and tear. Bromelain in Evergreen EverZYME EQ acts on harmful prostaglandins that cause pain and impede the uptake
of rebuilding compounds through tissues.
