It is what is on the inside that counts

• The horse naturally produces joint fluid and joint cartilage from a healthy balanced diet
• Amino sugars and complex carbohydrates work to maintain these elements of a working joint, while dietary sulphur targets soft tissues providing support and strength around the joint

When does the recipe for success need our help through nutrition?

• Glucosamine, as a specialised amino sugar, is distributed by the body in the joint cartilage, whilst chondroitin sulphate and H.A., complex carbohydrates, allow cartilage to retain its protective cushioning effect by keeping cartilage hydrated
• Methyl sulphonyl methane (MSM) provides a highly bio-available form of sulphur for soft tissue support
• Delivery and uptake of these essential nutrients is threatened everyday by both environmental and genetic factors

#Bettertogether

• A good joint supplement will contain the essential nutrients that directly "feed" the joint.
• An excellent joint supplement will include a synergy of ingredients that will contain preformed molecular structures that can be absorbed together bypassing the need for the horse to produce building blocks that are likely to have vital elements missing
• A Five Star joint supplement will additionally contain a supply of antioxidants to help combat oxidative stress driven by a reactive oxygen species (ROS), and seen as micro-damage and an inflammatory response in stressed joints
