Liquid Equine Joint Supplements

Performance horses as well as aged horses may suffer from joint degradation and ensuing pain and inflammation. Exercise and training can cause the synovial fluid within the joints to break down. Hyaluronic acid (HA), a primary constituent of synovial fluid, decreases as the horse ages. This reduction increases the risk of inflammation and arthritis. Supplementing an equine formulated liquid joint supplement may reduce damage and restore joint integrity. Results may vary and can depend on each individual horse's reaction.

  1. LubriSyn

    • LubriSyn is made of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring fluid within joint tissues and synovial fluid. Synovial fluid lubricates the joints and minimizes friction among protective joint cartilage. The molecular weight of LubriSyn is over 2 million daltons (molecule measurement), providing optimum lubrication because it matches the natural joint fluid. It is highly purified and quickly and thoroughly absorbed by the body. Results are seen within seven to 14 days. Begin dosing regimen with a double dose (1 oz.) for five to 10 days. After the initial loading period, dose at 1/2 oz. per day. Double dose can be extended or re-introduced if necessary.

    Next Level

    • Next Level contains glucosamine, shark cartilage, perna mussel, Ester-C and MSM. Glucosamine HCL builds cartilage. Chondroitin sulfate, derived from shark cartilage, combats the enzymes that destroy joint cartilage. MSM, a dietary sulfur, assists with collagen formation and reduces inflammation. Next Level also contains a special bromelain enzyme solution that is quickly absorbed and works to reduce inflammation. Shake well and feed 2 fluid oz. for the first 10 days. Reduce to 1 fluid oz. Feed during or after the horse has eaten to reduce gastrointestinal upset.

    Corta-Flx

    • Corta-Flx contains pure, micro-sized, water soluble, isolated nutrients comparable to the active ingredients found in glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate. Corta-Flx contains smaller molecules, maximizing its ability to pass within cellular walls into the cartilage matrix. In addition, it contains MSM and hyaluronic acid for better assimilation and utilization. It has been named product of the year and featured in university studies. Results are guaranteed to be seen within five days. Feed 2 oz. for three days, then 1 oz. for maintenance.

    Fluid Action HA

    • Fluid Action contains high levels of glucosamine HCL, MSM, yucca and vitamin C. It also contains hyaluronic acid for increasing synovial fluid and viscosity. Feed HA to maintain joint structural integrity and cartilage production. The glucosamine helps build and strengthen cartilage. MSM and yucca help to reduce inflammation and the pain caused by inflammation. Shake well and give 2 oz. for eight days. Feed 1 oz. for maintenance.
