We have asked this question to Lea van Bitop, and below she explains what it is, how it works and what you can use it for.
By Lea Hüser, Bitopequi
Maybe Bi-Medectoin says® Not immediately something, but we are almost certain that you have used it before. Our partners have long appreciated the very effective and protective properties of BI-Medectoin® And use it in many ways. Just pay attention to the next time you buy nasal spray, eye drops, mop tablets or a skin cream from the drugstore.
HISTORY
BI-Medectoin® belongs to a group of stress protection molecules called extremolytes.
Extremolytes are substances produced by micro-organisms and plants to protect themselves against extremely hostile living conditions (think of polar ice, salt lakes, desert, etc.). In the 1980s, in a salt lake in the Egyptian desert, the microorganisms were discovered that protect against the extreme heat and the high salt content in a salt lake. With the help of a biotechnological process, at Bitop in Dortmund we have succeeded in imitating what is happening in nature and we have found a way to produce BI-Medectoin®.
What can bi-med ectoin do®?
BI-Medectoin® - We also call it the self -defense strategy of nature.
BI-Medectoin® Protects against external influences of the environment, such as environmental pollution or temperature fluctuations. The protective properties are based on the water-loving properties of BI-Medectoin®. It attracts the water molecules from his surroundings and binds them to itself. BI-Medectoin®, In combination with the water molecules, it surrounds itself as a protective shield around the cells.
The human body consists largely of water. In adults, the water content accounts for around 60% of the body weight. In women, the water content is approximately 10% lower because they have more "low in water" fatty tissue.
Water is indispensable, the water in the cells ensures the food of the cell, it makes many biochemical processes, such as cell metabolism, possible and also ensures the removal of used nutrients and toxic waste.
In particular, the so -called extracellular liquid, i.e. the water outside the cell is responsible for this. The water that flows around the cells into a dense network of channels to feed them.
All substances that want to penetrate or release the cell can only reach them via this channel system with water. This water is directly connected to the cells and in active exchange with the blood provision system in the body.
Without the water transport, no cell could survive, simply because they would not get any nutrients. So without water there is no life.
Thanks to the presence of BI-Medectoin® The water molecules adhere to the cell, making it hydrated stronger. In the long term, the cells will be strengthened, kept healthy (er) and their resistance is increased. You can see that the cells can breathe better when BI-Medectoin® surrounded them. An athlete who gets better air can continue to run longer. We turn a normal cell into a super cell, so to speak! 😉
How can BI-Med ectoin® Help horses?
BI-Medectoin® Can have a supporting effect in many areas. It serves both the protection and the regeneration of cells. In the lungs of the horse, this is very important to protect them against stress factors such as dust, fungi and bacteria. Use this Animal Care product daily, to protect the lungs of your horse against harmful external influences and keep them in good condition!

Why is it on the doping list?
The FN list of doping-relevant substances (ADMR) contains ingredients that have a performance-promoting effect. For the release of an ingredient, data about horses are required, so that extensive and very expensive studies are required. That is why only the physical saline solution (0.9% NaCl) has been approved for inhalation. BI-Medectoin® and Bitopequi® Lung have a purely physical effect and is not metabolized, which Bitop has proven in numerous human studies.
Although the mechanism of action has been proven, BITOP should submit a corresponding study for an official release, which is not useful or financially feasible.
After consultation and assessment of Bitops Extensive Studies at Mensen, FN recommends a 48-hour waiting time for BI-Medectoin® Easy Breathe and Bitopequi® Lung.
BI-Medectoin® Easy Breathe and Equi® Lung have already been successfully used with sports horses, some with severe lung problems.
BI-Medectoin® and Equi® Lung have no habituation effect and can be used daily without time limitations.
