HorseTonic vs Cavalor: what is the difference?

HorseTonic Artico Gold has a published price of EUR 2.00 per day for joint support. Cavalor publishes no consumer prices on cavalor.com and sells through dealers, so a definitive per-day price comparison cannot be verified. HorseTonic publishes a COA per production batch via an OMCL-accredited laboratory (ISO/IEC 17025). Cavalor publishes a doping-free quality programme on cavalor.com. Both brands are Belgian, doping-conscious, and focused on sport horses. Cavalor has wider brand recognition and an official FEI partnership. This is an as honest as possible comparison.

Frequently asked questions

Is HorseTonic cheaper than Cavalor?
HorseTonic publishes its prices: Artico Gold costs approximately EUR 2.00 per day (maintenance dosage).

Want to calculate yourself? Divide the price of a pack by the number of days it lasts according to the label.
What is the difference between per-batch and formula testing?
Formula testing means a product is analysed when the formula is established. Per-batch testing means each individual production batch receives its own laboratory certificate.

Cavalor publishes a doping-free quality programme on its own website.
Does HorseTonic have FEI certification?
HorseTonic is not an official FEI commercial partner and does not claim FEI certification. The products are formulated for use in competition horses. Always check current FEI rules before competing. Cavalor is an official FEI commercial partner.
