Equine America Cortaflex High Strength with Super Fenn Powder - 4.5kg

Performance horses’ joints are subjected to extreme forces during both training andcompetition, and cartilage and joint fluid are often the first areas to show signs of wear and tear. Cartilage is the spongy, elastic material that covers the ends of the bones within a joint, acting as a major shock absorber and helping to reduce friction. Joint or synovial fluid should be thick and viscous, to bathe and lubricate the joint, also acting as a vital shock absorber. Cortaflex® HA Super Fenn Powder provides nutritional building blocks to help specialized cells, called chondrocytes, to maintain healthy cartilage, as well as providing hyaluronic acid to help maintain healthy joint fluid. Providing powerful joint support for performance, racing and competition horses,or older horses with significant levels of wear and tear. Contains a uniquecombination of collagen, amino acid, hyaluronic acid and trace elements, delivering the important nutritional building blocks to support joint health. Also contains Boswellia and MSM to support a normal inflammatory response, promoting joint and muscle comfort in hard-working horses. Also contains Boswellia and MSM to support joint and muscle comfort in hardworking horses BETA NOPS and UFAS accredited, ensuring Equine America products do not contain prohibited substances and are suitable for horses competing under FEI regulations and the Rules of Racing. Tried and tested with over 2 million units sold worldwide. What are the benefits of Cortaflex® HA Super Fenn Powder? Supporting cartilage (collagen, MSM and manganese) Antioxidant defence (MSM and copper) Synovial fluid support (hyaluronic acid) Joint and connective tissue support (collagen, MSM, manganese and silicon) Supporting the horse's own anti-inflammatory processes (Boswellia, MSM) Ingredients and Nutrition: Collagen – an important compound needed to produce the water-based matrix orstructural framework of the cartilage, to help give it strength and elasticity. We are proud to confirm that we use a sustainable and ethical source of marine collagen. Hyaluronic acid – a key glycosaminoglycan (GAG) which helps to maintain the viscosity of the joint fluid, to lubricate the joint and act as a shock absorber. Amino acids to provide the building blocks for the production of the amino sugars such as glucosamine, which is a structural subunit in the production of other glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) which bind to the collagen matrix to help maintain strong and functional cartilage. Key trace minerals including manganese, silicon and copper, which all play importantroles in the production of structural compounds such as chondroitin, as well as in theproduction of collagen and hyaluronic acid. MSM, providing a bio-available source of sulphur to support the sulphur-containing bonds in the cartilage matrix. Boswellia provides antioxidants and other important phytochemicals to support jointhealth and comfort as well as the horse's own anti-inflammatory processes.
