Silvaplex provides natural support to the immune system
It has long been known that Silver has good healing properties and prior to the advent of antibiotics it was one of the main treatments used.
Sivaplex is an ionic form of silver evenly dispersed in a liquid carrier and has proven to be a very effective against infection.
Chelated Silver is highly effective in blocking the respiration of microorganisms, killing them in the process.
However, scientific tests revealed that some of the most unfriendly body bacteria do not need oxygen for their survival.
They exist off the specific enzymes. It is believed that CHELATED SILVER™ acts as a additional catalyst in destroying those specific
enzymes that the bacteria use for nourishment to survive.
The word “chelated” refers to a substance being held by the chelating structure which binds the chelated molecule tightly in the claw-like
chelating molecular structure. The word chelate comes from the Greek “chele”, a claw, and the bound silver atoms are carried wherever
the chelator goes. Chelators are used to carry useful atoms into the body, or into the cells themselves, in larger amounts than the body
would normally allow. The chelated molecules are treated chemically as desirable molecules by the recognition systems in cell walls,
and are therefore given entry into the cells.
Silvaplex benefits your horses health by:
- Killing bacteria causing viruses along with airborne pathogens that settle in the lungs and sinus cavities
- Helping maintain a healthier respiratory system which results in improved breathing and allows better oxygen intake.
- Reducing or elliminating the need for expensive medicines or antibiotics
- Keeping your nebuliser or transpirator bacteria free, preventing the spread of bacterial infections to other horses.
* Micro-organisms do not develop resistance to ChelatedSilver (as happens with antibiotics), eliminating the problem of reduced
effectiveness of Silver Solutions with multiple treatments over time. Chelated silver solutions have not been demonstrated to interact or
interfere with other medicines being administered.
Chemically, Chelated Silver is an exceptionally stable compound, effectively non-reactive and a non-significant threat to the environment.
Research and clinical experience have shown that Chelated Silver achieves better tissue penetration and is a more useful compound than free silver.
With reference to its mechanism of action, the reactive oxygen species produced by silver simply interrupt the bacterial cell’s ability
to form the chemical bonds essential to its survival. These bonds are necessary for the cell’s physical structure and functioning so when
a bacterium/microorganism comes into contact with the reactive oxygen species produced by Chelated Silver it literally falls apart.

- In the paddock.
- Between events.
- In fact; Wherever/Whenever it is convenient.
RECOGNISE RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS:
Clinical indicators of respiratory problems can range from being very subtle to extremely severe. Coughing, for example, indicates a
significant respiratory irritation that may be caused by an environmental allergen such as dust, a mild cold, or a viral contagion
that is inflaming the lungs. Other indicators of pulmonary illness can include:
- Yellow or thick nasal discharge (a light, clear, fluid nasal discharge is generally normal)
- Shortness of breath
- Low energy level
- Labored breathing
- Wheezing, raspy or congested breathing
- Heaving chest
- Flared nostrils
- Swollen lymph nodes under the jaw
- Elevated body temperature
The most frequently occurring lower respiratory tract disorders are;
- Recurrent Airway Obstruction (RAO) also known as Heaves.
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
- Inflammatory Airway Disease (IAD).
- Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Haemorrhage (EIPH).
While Silvaplex can be administered as a spray, that is a very wasteful method.
The preferred administration method is to use a nebuliser.
The Flexineb 2 Nebuliser is the perfect partner for Silvaplex and we are proud
to be the New Zealand distributor of the Flexineb range of products.

Along with lameness, Respiratory disease is one of the most common causes of chronic illness in horses, with an estimated 25% of veterinary calls relating to
respiratory problems.
