Glucosamine joint supplement for horses Allinflex NZ

When there are joint and mobility issues, Glucosamine is well known and been around for a long time as one of the main supplements to consider. 

Glucosamine is an amino sugar , a natural substance. Made up from a Glucose molecule and Amino acids. We find the highest concentrations of this natural substance in the equines musculoskeletal system; cartilage, tendons and ligaments.

Glucosamine is a very important building block and precursor to a variety of natural processes to maintain healthy cartilage and joint fluid. It is a chemical found in the horses body.  

Glucosamine can turn to N-acetylgalactosamine in which it will be part of Chondroitin Sulfate. A premium Glucosamine supplement combined with Chondroitin will work together to support the joints. Chondroitin Sulfate is an important part of the connective tissue in blood vessels, bone and cartilage. 

When the horse suffers from arthritis there is a decrease of cartilage and joint fluid. Joints can wear or spurs may form on the joint. Friction can cause serious pain issues.

This process isn't completely reversible, but supplementing with the right combination to the individual needs of the horse you can take care of the still healthy tissue to maintain health.

If the cause of the wear and tear isn't addressed then no supplement will help. For example; training on unsuitable surfaces, incorrect shoeing, incorrect training, etc

Glucosamine and Chondroitin need time to work as these substance need to build up in the blood then it takes time to get to the joints. Joints have a very slow blood circulation and metabolism, so when you start the horse on Glucosamine, you need to give it 2 to 3 months to see if it works for your horse.

Feeding Glucosamine supplements may support healthy cartilage ageing and wear & tear.

 Glucosamine & Chondrotin seem to work better together than separately. 

 AllinFlex Glucosamine is Human Grade.
