Hemorex Pro Powder

HEMOREX-PRO

Capillary integrity is critical in equine athletes, particularly in disciplines where cardiovascular strain is high (e.g., racing, eventing). Microvascular fragility has been associated with conditions such as exercise-induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH). Nutritional strategies targeting vascular resilience, endothelial function, and oxidative stress are increasingly utilised.

A combination of Vitamin C, L-Arginine, Vitamin K, and Grape Seed Extract (GSE) offers a multi-pathway approach to supporting capillary health through:

1.      Grape Seed Extract (GSE): Polyphenols & Vascular Protection

GSE is rich in proanthocyanidins, powerful antioxidants that:

• Stabilise collagen and elastin
• Reduce capillary permeability
• Protect endothelial cells from oxidative damage

• Polyphenols improve endothelial function and reduce oxidative stress in vascular systems

In a randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study in 30 humans, high-dose of Grape Seed Extract (400 mg/day), containing ~85% proanthocyanidins (340 mg/day), taken for 12 weeks significantly reduced systolic blood pressure and improved vascular elasticity markers (Odai et al, 2019).

In another pilot study, patients with chronic venous insufficiency received grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) at a dose of 150 mg twice daily (300 mg/day) for 90 days alongside compression stocking therapy. This combination led to a significant increase in inferior vena cava blood flow velocity indicating improved venous function compared to stocking treatment alone. This suggests enhanced vascular function, improved venous tone, and better circulation, supporting the role of proanthocyanidins in strengthening and optimising blood vessel performance (Jung & Choo, 2022).

2.      Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid): Capillary stabilization and antioxidant protection

Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis, a primary structural component of capillary walls. It also acts as a potent antioxidant, neutralising reactive oxygen species (ROS) that weaken vascular tissues.

3.      L-Arginine: Endothelial Function & Blood Flow Regulation

L-Arginine is the precursor to nitric oxide (NO), a key regulator of vascular tone. NO promotes vasodilation, improving blood flow and reducing pressure stress on capillaries.

4.       Vitamin K3: Coagulation & Vascular Stability

Vitamin K is essential for the activation of clotting factors (II, VII, IX, X), enabling proper blood coagulation.
