Equine America Cortaflex HA Regular Powder - 900g

Cortaflex HA Regular powder is designed for the nutritional maintenance of healthy joints in horses and ponies in light to moderate work, or older horses needing a little extra mobility support.

Cortaflex HA Regular Powder provides a tried and tested blend of key compounds, with low sugar levels, making it suitable for horses and ponies prone to laminitis. This powder includes collagen, hyaluronic acid, trace elements, and amino acid building blocks to provide essential nutritional support for maintaining healthy cartilage and joint fluid. Cartilage is the spongy, elastic material which 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.

Benefits:

• Nutritional support for cartilage (collagen, amino acids, MSM, and manganese).
• Antioxidant defence (MSM and copper).
• Joint fluid support (hyaluronic acid).
• Bone and connective tissue repair (collagen, MSM, manganese, and silicon).
• Suitable for horses and ponies prone to laminitis, including those where the use of glucosamine is a concern for owners.

Key Ingredients:

Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the body, providing the structural framework for cartilage to help give it strength and elasticity. Equine America uses a sustainable and ethical source of marine collagen. Hyaluronic Acid is a key compound called a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) which helps to maintain the viscosity of the joint fluid, to lubricate the cartilage and act as an additional shock absorber. Amino Acids provide the nutritional building blocks for the production of amino sugars. MSM provides a natural, bioavailable form of sulphur which is a key mineral for the bonding of compounds within the cartilage framework, to enhance strength, and also helps to support the horse's own anti-inflammatory processes. Key trace minerals including manganese, silicon, and copper play important roles in the production of structural compounds such as chondroitin, as well as in the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid. These minerals also play key roles in the production of important antioxidants.

Features:

• Provides key nutritional building blocks for joint support including collagen, amino acids, MSM, hyaluronic acid, and trace elements.
• Suitable for all horses and ponies in light to medium work, and older horses and ponies to support mobility.
• Low sugar - suitable for horses and ponies prone to laminitis.
• Equine America is BETA NOPS and UFAS assured, ensuring full product traceability and minimising the risk of contamination with prohibited substances. Products are formulated to be suitable for horses competing under FEI regulations and the Rules of Racing.
