New LITOVET^® is a unique patented 100% natural horse feed supplement, recommended by vets for horses, made from the specially cultivated Rosa Canina variety of rose-hips. It contains high levels of GOPO^® (glycoside of mono and diglycerol), which has undergone vigorous research and has been shown to help maintain joint mobility and soundness in both humans and horses.

Rose-hip (Rosa Canina) contains a number of bioactive ingredients that can help to offset the physical stress of training. Rosa Canina contains natural antioxidants, organic acids, flavonoids, carotenoids and has a naturally high vitamin C content. Of most significance, is the presence of a galactolipid substance known as GOPO^® that has been shown in published studies in both humans and horses to support the body’s natural recovery process. Rose-hip (Rosa Canina) can therefore help to support the body’s natural recovery from the ongoing micro-trauma and inflammation associated with exercise training.

LITOVET^® is a specialised source of rose-hip powder for horses that has a unique standardised GOPO^® content, achieved through a patented manufacturing process. Unlike many other feed supplements for horses, the beneficial effect of LITOVET^® is supported by extensive research studies in humans and by an equine specific study carried out in performance horses. In a double blind placebo controlled trial involving 74 horses, LITOVET^® helped to maintain the horses' natural recovery processes and significantly boosted antioxidant defences resulting in the horses in the supplemented group being more supple with a greater willingness to work during ongoing training. LITOVET^® maintains mobility, suppleness and soundness, helping to offset the rigours of training and reducing the likelihood of loss of performance due to over-training.

LITOVET^® is manufactured by a specific process to ensure that it contains a high level of GOPO^® resulting in a product with unique qualities. This high level of GOPO^® cannot be found in any other equine joint supplement in the UK. GOPO^® and the special process that is used in its manufacture are both protected by patents.

Rose-hip extract that does not contain GOPO^® has not been shown to help maintain joint mobility.

LITOVET^® is available in 1.5kg tubs lasting approximately 2 months and 3kg tubs lasting approximately 4 months at maintenance level.

For horses in light to moderate work feed 10g per 100kg of body weight for the first month then 5g per 100kg of body weight thereafter.
