Healthy Stable MSM/Glucosamine 1kg tub

Just like in humans, glucosamine has shown great effect as a supplement in horses. Glucosamine is a key molecule used in the formation of cartilage in joints. Glucosamine is used to manufacture glycosaminoglycans and hyaluronic acid. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are combinations of proteins and sugars, and are found in a variety of tissues, including blood plasma, joints, and the mucosal (mucous membrane) lining of a variety of organs, including the gastrointestinal tract and the bladder.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan (GAG), which is a substance that attaches to collagen and elastin to form cartilage. HA not only helps keep the cartilage that cushions joints strong and flexible, but also helps increase supplies of joint-lubricating synovial fluid.

Clinical studies have shown glucosamine supplementation to be extremely effective in the reduction of DJD (degenerative joint disease in horses), osteoarthritis and other joint related illness.

Glucosamine supplements helps to manufacture more HA which deliver nutrients to cells and carry toxins from cells that do not have a blood supply, such as those found in cartilage; without adequate amounts of HA, the joints will become brittle and deteriorate.

MSM is a naturally occurring, organic, bio-available sulphur compound and is recognised as the richest source of organic sulphur available to animals. MSM is found in fruits, vegetables, but cooking and modern food preparation techniques deteriorate the percentage of natural MSM. The other source of MSM is derived from DMSO produced by planktons in the sea and through oxidation in the atmosphere, the starting DMSO are converted to MSM.

Sulphur is the 4^th most abundant mineral in all living organisms, and as such you can start to appreciate its benefits in terms of supplementation. Sulphur is vital in the creation of tissue and the regeneration of cells, and is stored in the body as MSM. MSM is found in every cell in the body, and the average body contains about 4lb of sulphur as body weight (MSM) which is then used and broken down as a direct store for sulphur.

Key benefits of MSM/Glucosamine.

• MSM speeds wound healing, reduces scar tissue, skin disorders, wrinkles, spots, skin, lesions, burns and other skin damage.
• MSM is a bio-available form of natural sulphur is key to the maintenance of joint health.
• MSM supplementation reduces inflammation and eases the pain associated with inflammation disorders such as arthritis, DJD in horses
• MSM supplements can improve cellular action, concentration, alertness, mental calmness and can help to increase energy production in horses as it is used by every cell in creating energy.
• Supplemented MSM is necessary for the production of proteins, collagen and elastin in joint tissue and other cells.
• Importantly, using MSM as an equine supplement can also help to reduce muscle cramps and spasms, and help to reduce lameness in horses.
• Helps to increase synovial fluid production in joints
• Increase joint flexibility
• Helps to increase the cartilage regeneration process
• Glucosamine supplement may decrease catabolic activity by inhibiting the synthesis of enzymes and other substances that contribute to damage of the cartilage matrix
• Glucosamine has mild anti-inflammatory properties, hence making it an affective supplement for joint inflammation.

Equivet Animal Care MSM/Glucosamine is 99.9% pure and is free from any impurities, smells or colour and has been tested to ensure that it is of the best quality. Equivet glucosamine supplement is made using glucosamine HCL as opposed to glucosamine sulphate due to the added sodium content in glucosamine sulphate, and we feel that this combined with other feed rations might increase overall sodium levels.

We are directly involved in the sourcing of raw ingredients used in our supplements, and chose the best quality ingredients that are ecologically sourced and free from contaminants.
