Therapeutic textiles in equestrian sports
Find out more about the far-infrared effect
The infrared reflection effect
The body constantly emits heat in the form of infrared radiation. This energy is normally lost to the body. Our ceramic fabric intercepts this energy thanks to a special ceramic material mix membrane and reflects it back to the body.
Far infrared rays are a component of infrared radiation. They are emitted by the sun, certain stones and metals, but also by living beings. Their therapeutic effect has been used in Asian medicine for a long time.
Far infrared rays have a positive influence on energetic processes in the human and animal body in a variety of ways.
Quality from Europe
We use functional textiles from the world of competitive sports. These are high-performance fabric compositions that have been developed for top athletes. We have transferred this principle to the horse. Taking into account the requirements of the horse.
Together with fabric manufacturers from Germany and Europe, we develop our own ceramic fabric that is optimally adapted to the horse’s needs. This allows us to contribute our own ideas and experience. So that it becomes a great product! After all, our horses are also athletes and we expect high performance from them. So let’s give them the best equipment too!
VITANDAR is the new label for therapeutic equestrian sports accessories with a ceramic membrane.
Here you will find accessories for use in the stable to support your horse’s regeneration and healing processes.
We attach great importance to high-quality materials and workmanship, timeless colors and a good fit.
About far infrared radiation
Where do far infrared rays come from?
They come from the sun.
Solar radiation consists of electromagnetic waves. The solar spectrum comprises several ranges: The largest range is visible light: from violet to red. There is also X-ray radiation, ultraviolet radiation and infrared radiation, all of which are invisible.
Due to the different wavelengths, infrared radiation is divided into three further ranges:
– near infrared (NIR)
– mid infrared radiation
– far infrared (FIR – Far Infrared Rays)
Among the various frequencies that make up the infrared spectrum, far infrared rays offer the most benefits to living things.
And because they are invisible rays that can affect the body’s energy balance, we call it
‘Invisible Energy’.
Can we feel far infrared rays?
Yes, I’m sure we’ve all had the following experience:
When it is sunny but very cold, e.g. at temperatures below 0°C, we are warmed as long as we are in direct sunlight. However, as soon as we are in the shade, it immediately gets cold.
The reason for this is the far-infrared radiation emitted by the sun, which our body absorbs.
Infrared radiation is not visible to the human eye. However, people can perceive the warming effect of infrared radiation through their skin.
Far infrared radiation can penetrate clothing.
How do far infrared rays work in the body?
Our body consists of at least 70% water.
Far infrared rays interact with water molecules. They penetrate deep into the body and increase the energy content of the water molecules, causing them to vibrate.
These vibrations start a thermal reaction and the body temperature rises.
Far infrared radiation can be reflected by certain materials.
The technology
VITANDAR stable boots are made of a special fabric on the inside with a membrane consisting of a special ceramic material matrix.
This fabric is therefore able to behave like a mirror. It reflects the infrared radiation, which is emitted with the body heat, back to the body. The body benefits in various ways from the recovery of this energy. It can have a number of positive effects.
With normal clothing, this energy is lost to the environment.
The effect
The reflection of the infrared rays promotes blood circulation and increases the oxygen content in the blood, which can have various positive effects on the body:
– Improving the regeneration of performance horses
– Accelerating healing processes (e.g. wound and bone healing)
– Support for osteoarthritis
– Promoting blood circulation
– Stimulating the lymphatic system
– Faster warm-up phase
– Increasing general well-being
No doping
The use of VITANDAR products does not fall under doping. No substances are transferred to the body. You can use all our gaiters and neck protectors during competition sport.
