Description
Orthoplex HA for horses is a fast acting liquid formulation for the nutritional maintenance of healthy cartilage and joints in horses.
All performance horses suffer from the rigours of daily training and competition. In particular there is enormous pressure on the articular surfaces. Healthy cartilage and adequate synovial fluid are essential to ensure that the equine athlete can withstand these pressures.
Orthoplex HA contains four key ingredients all of which combine to nutritionally maintain healthy cartilage and joints. It is formulated to be palatable even to shy feeders.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER USE:
Feed approx. 60ml per day for 7 days.
Thereafter feed approx. 30ml per day.
1.183L = approx 32-40 days
3.75L = apron 118-125 days
KEY INGREDIENTS EXPLAINED:
Glucosamine HCI |
Glucosamine HCI enhances the level of glycosaminoglycans (GAG’s) in the joint. These GAG’s are the ‘building blocks’ in the cartilage matrix. Glucosamine HCI will increase the Hyaluronate content in the joint. Hyaluronate is a fundamental component of Synovial fluid – the joint lubricant. |
Chondroitin Sulphate
|
Chondroitin Sulphate is a natural ‘water magnet’ in the joint. Adequate amounts of Chondroitin Sulphate enable the joint to withstand constant compression and concussion. Chondroitin Sulphate also inhibits the ‘cartilage chewing’ enzymes that are present in damaged joints. |
MSM
|
MSM is a bioavailable source of sulphur which is needed for the synthesis of connective tissue and can therefore be seen as a co-factor to Glucosamine HCL and Chondroitin Sulphate in the maintenance of the cartilage matrix. MSM is also exhibits powerful anti-inflammatory properties which help protect the joint during and after exercise. |
Sodium Hyaluronate (Equivalent to Hyaluronic Acid 22mg)
|
Sodium Hyaluronate is a bioavailable source of Hyaluronic Acid that has a hydrophilic action. This helps in the growth and development of a joints cartilage by lubricating and promoting growth of new cells and tissues. Hyaluronic Acid plays an important role in reducing joint inflammation and pain caused by injury or joint degeneration. |
