How the Ingredients Work

Joint Health
  • Chondroitin Sulfate
    • Chondroitin Sulfate is not only the building block of the much larger molecules hyaluronic acid (HA) and proteoglycan (PG) it also inhibits the effects of various enzymes that degrade cartilage. Research has shown that chondroitin sulfate is bioavailable in the horse and that it appears to work synergistically with glucosamine in the production of new cartilage and inhibition of cartilage breakdown.
       
  • Glucosamine
    • Glucosamine is the building block of chondroitin sulfate, a specific type of polysulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG). Current research suggests glucosamine plays several roles within joints. Not only does it lead to the production of new GAGs and therefore new cartilage, glucosamine has also been shown to inhibit the free radicals and enzymes that break down cartilage. This small but complex molecule has an important role in both the production and protection of joints.  For more information visit our page on Glucosamine for Horses.
  • Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
    • Hyaluronic Acid (HA) 
      is an integral component of joint cartilage and joint fluid, providing both lubrication and shock absorption. Hyaluronic acid is what makes joint fluid "sticky."  Because it has been shown to maintain cells in the joint, HA is often used during times of particular joint stress.
Antioxidants
  • MSM
    • MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a source of organic sulfur which is required for a number of functions in the body. Sulfur plays critical roles in the formation of protein, connective tissue, immunoglobulins and enzymes. MSM has been shown to help support a normal response to inflammation as well as healthy joints; a strong immune system; and resilient skin, coat, and hooves. For more information visit our page on MSM for Horses.
  • Vitamin C
    • Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) is an antioxidant that works with Vitamin A and Vitamin E to protect the tissues of the body, especially those of the respiratory system. It is also important in the production of connective tissues like tendons and ligaments, skin and hooves, bones and teeth. Under normal circumstances, horses make their own Vitamin C in the liver from glucose. However, transport, "heaves," old age and endurance exercise have all been shown to decrease blood levels of Vitamin C, indicating horses undergoing these particular stresses may benefit from dietary supplementation.
