Equine America Equine America - Kentucky Liquid Supplement - 1L

The Kentucky Liquid Joint supplement provides nutrients and key ingredients to help support the health and mobility of the joints of horses and ponies during light to moderate work, as well as to promote comfort and mobility in older horses and ponies.

Cartilage wear covering the joint surfaces is one of the most common causes of reduced mobility in horses and ponies. It is often observed in older horses but can affect those engaging in lighter work, as well as those with intense training and competition programs.

Cartilage lacks its own blood supply and depends on the bone beneath and the synovial or joint fluid bathing the joint to provide nutrients and key compounds to maintain its health and shock-absorbing properties. As horses age or the daily impact of training and competition increases, the capacity of the underlying bone and synovial fluid to provide these nutrients may not suffice to maintain health, resulting in stiffness and reduced mobility.

It becomes important for the horse to receive dietary intake of these essential nutrients to ensure that the cartilage and joint fluid retain their elasticity and shock-absorbing properties to promote joint health, comfort, and mobility.

• Provides glucosamine hydrochloride (HCL) - supported by research
• Also provides MSM and hyaluronic acid (HA)
• Contains key antioxidants Boswellia and vitamin C
• High-value joint support and mobility for all horses and ponies
• BETA NOPS and UFAS accredited, ensuring our products do not contain prohibited substances and are suitable for competition horses according to FEI regulations and racing rules.

Composition:

Glucosamine is one of the key compounds for supporting joint health and plays 3 important roles:

Stimulates the production of proteoglycans that contribute to producing the strong, elastic, and shock-absorbing properties of the collagen matrix of cartilage.

Helps maintain cartilage health

Helps support horses' anti-inflammatory processes.

MSM is a powerful antioxidant that helps support horses' anti-inflammatory system, as well as a bioavailable source of organic sulfur, which is an essential component of key amino acids and vitamins. Sulfur also plays an important role in collagen synthesis. Collagen is a major component of connective tissues such as ligaments, tendons, and cartilage.

Hyaluronic acid is important for maintaining the viscosity and shock-absorbing elastic properties of joint fluid and is an important compound, producing the structural framework of cartilage, contributing to its strength and elasticity and absorbing shocks. We are proud to confirm that we use a sustainable and ethical form of marine collagen.

Vitamin C is one of the most important antioxidant vitamins, helping to eliminate free radicals and reduce oxidative damage in the joints.

Boswellia also provides antioxidants and other important phytochemical compounds (plant-derived compounds) to support anti-inflammatory processes.

The Kentucky Liquid Joint Supplement provides these key nutrients in a highly palatable solution to help maintain healthy cartilage, synovial fluid, and connective tissue, supporting joint health and mobility.
