Cortaflex HA Super Fenn Solution delivers important nutritional building blocks to support joint health.
Performance horses’ joints are subjected to extreme forces during both training and competition, and cartilage and joint fluid are often the first areas to show signs of wear and tear. 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.
Cortaflex HA Super Fenn Solution 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. This product provides powerful joint support for performance, racing and competition horses, or older horses with significant levels of wear and tear, through a unique combination of collagen, amino acids, hyaluronic acid and trace elements. It also contains Boswellia, Yucca and MSM to support joint and muscle comfort in hard working horses.
Equine America is BETA NOPS and UFAS accredited, making Cortaflex HA Super Fenn Solution suitable for horses competing under FEI regulations and the Rules of Racing by reducing the risk of products containing prohibited substances.
Features:
- Supports cartilage with collagen, MSM, and manganese.
- Provides antioxidant defence with MSM and copper.
- Supports synovial fluid with hyaluronic acid.
- Supports joint and connective tissue with collagen, MSM, manganese, and silicon.
- Supports the horse's own anti-inflammatory processes with Boswellia, Yucca, and MSM.
- Collagen is an important compound needed to produce the water-based matrix or structural framework of the cartilage, helping to give it strength and elasticity.
- Hyaluronic acid is 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 provide the building blocks for the production of amino sugars such as glucosamine, 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 play important roles in the production of structural compounds such as chondroitin, as well as in the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid.
- 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 maintain a normal inflammatory response.
- Boswellia and Yucca provide antioxidants and other important phytochemicals to support joint health and comfort as well as the horse's own anti-inflammatory processes.
