Synequin

Many competition and leisure horses suffer from joint discomfort, ranging from minor strains to progressive disorders, such as osteoarthritis, OCD and navicular syndrome. Traditionally symptoms of pain and lameness have been reduced using NSAIDs. Supplementation with Synequin can help in the repair and protection of the joint structure from further damage, without the risks associated with NSAIDs.

Formula

Chondroitin Sulphate

• Predominant glycosaminoglycan (GAG) in cartilage
• Maintains cartilage water content and binds with collagen to ensure tensile strength
• Encourages chondrocyte GAG synthesis
• Maintains a healthy synovial fluid matrix

Glucosamine HCL

• Major building block for most GAGs
• Encourages manufacture of GAGs in cartilage
• Maintains cartilage GAG quality
• Helps to maintain joint function

N-Acetyl D-Glucosamine

• Incorporated into GAGs in a similar manner to glucosamine
• Possesses a unique range of activities which modulates the effect of catabolic cytokines on chondrocytes
• Incorporated into GAG chains, maintaining the structure of the cartilage and joint fluid matrix

Zinc

• A key dietary trace element essential for enzymatic processes throughout the body
• Especially important in the formation of cartilage and bone

Ascorbic Acid

• The body’s primary water-soluble anti-oxidant. Ascorbic acid targets the effects of free radical production within the joint structure
