Stride: Many competition horses, particularly older horses, suffer from the wear and tear of extreme physical exercise. Stride contains a combination of Glucosamine HCI, Chondroitin Sulphate and bioavailable sulphur. All three of these nutrients are required for many bodily functions. Stride the new generation mobility supplement supplies important nutrients which may help horses endure the rigours of training and competition.

• Glucosamine HCI enhances the level of glycosaminoglycans (GAG’s) in the joint. These GAG’s are the ‘building blocks’ in the cartilage matrix. Glucosamine HCI will increase the Hyaluronate content in the joint. Hyaluronate is a fundamental component of Synovial fluid – the joint lubricant.
• Chondroitin Sulphate is a natural ‘water magnet’ in the joint. Adequate amounts of Chondroitin Sulphate enable the joint to withstand constant compression and concussion.
• Chondroitin Sulphate also inhibits the ‘cartilage chewing’ enzymes that are present in damaged joints.
• MSM is a source of bioavailable sulphur. Sulphur is needed for the synthesis of connective tissue. Therefore MSM can be seen as a co-factor of Glucosamine HCI and Chondroitin Sulphrate in the repair of the cartilage matrix.

Stride MP: Is a nutritional Maintenance Programme which can play a protective role in combating the effects of wear and tear on a healthy cartilage matrix. Horse’s joints are constantly asked to absorb shock and stress, the faster the gait, the greater the pressure. Cartilage, which is the ‘last defence’ for horse’s joints, encounters shock continually. If the nutrients for cartilage synthesis are not available in the amounts required, the synthesising process is impaired. Thus the cartilage loses its ability to replenish itself. Supplementation with Stride MP will ensure an adequate supply of the nutrients which are required to protect the integrity of the cartilage matrix. These nutrients include Glucosamine, Chondroitin and Bioavailable Sulphur (MSM). Stride MP contains:

• Glucosamine HCI – necessary for the production of Hyaluronate which is a major component of Synovial fluid – the joint lubricant.
• MSM – a source of bioavailable sulphur. Sulphur plays an important role in the synthesis of connective tissue.
• Chondroitin Sulphate – forms the structural component of the ‘shock absorbers’ in the cartilage matrix.
