Supplements for horse joint care…
Looking to help improve your horse’s joint function this fall? Our new and improved Hyaluronic Acid supplement formula can help!
Hyaluronic Acid – New Improved Formula
As mentioned on our Hyaluronic Acid page…
HA (Hyaluronic Acid) is a component of collagen, and is classified as a mucopolysaccharide. It belongs to the same category as Chondroitin and Glucosamine. It functions by attracting water to the synovial fluid, and acts as a lubricating substance within the joint, creating a protective barrier that reduces friction, relieving inflammation and pain by improving joint function.
Whether your horse is involved in jumping, racing, piaffes or hacks; helping to ensure their joints are in optimal health matters. Providing their joints with the right formula of nutrients to maintain or regain their joint health and function will help to mitigate injury, as well as ensure their joints remain healthy for years to come.
So what ingredients does our Hyaluronic Acid supplement contain?
- Hyaluronic Acid (100mg/scoop)
- Vitamin C, which supports the immune system, helps combat illness, aids in recovery,
and is a potent antioxidant – attacking damaging free radicals produced naturally within the body during oxidation and inflammation.
- Vitamin E NATURAL, which helps to enhance muscle tone and endurance
in working horses, and also improves circulation.
- Lysine, which is needed for appropriate growth (muscle, blood and hoof
building) and bone development, as well as helps calcium absorption and maintains proper nitrogen balance.
Horse Joint Care – What Creates a Healthy Joint?
The connective tissue within a joint, along with fluid within the membrane, helps to create a cushion in order to prevent ‘bone on bone’ friction. Together, this stabilizes the movement of the joint while creating optimal conditions for proper movement.
The whole health of a joint is imperative for it to work together. Which is why each active ingredient within our formula has been chosen for complete care. And as we move into a season where stiff joints can be felt for human’s and horse’s alike; now is the right time to invest in your horse’s joint health. Basic Equine is here to provide the supplements for that, and we are happy to answer any questions you may have -> HERE!
