Joint Discovery™ II EQ
JOINT
DISCOVERY II EQ - For horses that require additional joint
support. It contains high levels of Chondroitin Sulfate,
Glucosamine, Manganese, and MSM, and added Vitamin C to specifically
meet the needs of horses with joint dysfunction and discomfort.
These naturally occurring factors provide building blocks for joints
as well as support for the cartilage and connective tissue. These
combined give the horse greater exercise tolerance and comfort.
Recommended for:
Horses
that require additional joint support
Horses
with Arthritis
Horses
with OCD
Older
performance horses
Horses
with past joint, ligament, tendon injuries
During
injury recovery periods (increase dosage)
The purified chondroitin sulfates in Joint Discovery II EQ are
derived from Certified BSE Free bovine tracheal cartilage, which is
a rich source of biologically-active Chondroitin -4 and -6 Sulfates.
Glucosamine has been shown to support
Glycosaminoglycan(GAG) synthesis in cartilage and synovial fluid. As
horses age, there is a decrease in the production ofGAG's, which can
result in joint stress, thinning of synovial fluid, and breakdown of
connective tissue.
MSM is a source of organic sulfur. MSM supports the
building and function of joints and connective tissue and is
beneficial for joint support.
Manganese is a cofactor in many enzymatic
controlled reactions and is essential for the formation of
cartilage, collagen, GAGs, and proteoglycans.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) is included in Joint
Discovery 11 EQ as added support for healthy joint functioning in
the older or more active horse. Vitamin C is required for the
synthesis of collagen and for the production ofGAGs. As an
antioxidant it protects tissues from free radicals and is necessary
for over 300 metabolic functions in the body including tissue growth
and repair.
