Cortaflex® is the perfect addition to any horse’s diet to aid natural joint health. [View this email in your browser]( WHY CORTAFLEX? The Equine America Cortaflex® range was amongst the first joint supplements to be widely and successfully used in all types of horses and ponies. It was introduced to the UK over 25 years ago and is now used all over the world, with more than 2 million units sold! Cortaflex® is the perfect addition to any horse's diet to aid natural joint health. A high-quality joint supplement can be hugely beneficial in helping to prevent joint problems which horses can be prone to as a result of intense exercise and competitions. The wear and tear on cartilage through either strenuous training and competition programmes, or just through the ageing process means that horses and ponies may not be able to keep up with the rate of repair needed to maintain the healthy, shock-absorbing properties of cartilage and joint fluid. If the cartilage becomes damaged, and the joint fluid becomes thinner and less viscous, the shock-absorbing properties are reduced and the horse will start to experience pain, eventually showing signs of lameness. Over the years many horse owners and trainers have added Cortaflex® joint supplement to their repertoire of dietary supplements and it has become known as a highly effective joint aid. Cortaflex® Cortaflex® includes vital trace elements and precursors (or building blocks) of key compounds such as glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans which are necessary for the production and maintenance of healthy cartilage and joint fluid, which also plays an important role in shock absorbing and lubrication within the joint.

[View]( The Ingredients of Cortaflex Amino Acids Amino acids such as glutamic acid - converted in the horse’s body to provide glutamine, which combines with glucose to form glucosamine – which itself then combines with other compounds to help give cartilage its flexibility and “sponginess”. Boswellia Cortaflex Super Fenn also contains Boswellia, a plant known for its antiinflammatory properties, to help reduce the on-going destruction of cartilage following micro-trauma and the resulting inflammatory responses arising from harder work. Copper, Manganese & Silicon Are important trace elements which are all needed to help the horse produce his own chondroitin, (another important structural compound in cartilage), collagen and hyaluronic acid. Collagen An important compound needed by the chondrocytes to produce the water based matrix of the cartilage. Collagen helps to give cartilage its strength. (We utilize a sustainable and ethical source of marine derived collagen.) Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Is a key component of joint fluid, which bathes the joint, and acts and a lubricant and shock absorber. MSM More recently, as well as providing these vital building blocks, MSM (methylsulphonylmethane ) has been added to the Cortaflex supplements, to provide a bio-available source of sulphur, which is important in the repair process of the sulphur containing bonds in the cartilage matrix. MSM is also thought to have anti-inflammatory properties.
