NutriScience ArthriAid Extra Strength HA Powder (Equine)
A super strength HA alternative to the regular ArthriAid. ArthriAid "Extra Strength" is formulated slightly differently to standard ArthriAid; the level of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) has been significantly increased to 125mg per serving for the accelerated promotion of Synovial Fluid, cartilage and connective tissue. For full ingredient levels see Information tab for more details.
Why Use ArthriAid HA? In the normal day to day life of a horse the joint cartilage is continually being broken down and replacement cartilage is being manufactured. However this balance can be upset due to increased training, trauma, competition or simply old age. Such horses need to be assisted in the maintenance of the cartilage and to reduce risk from further deterioration in the future. ArthriAid HA is an economical solution to promote long-term joint health.
How ArthriAid HA Works? ArthriAid HA is the most potent joint supplement combination on the market. This is due to its combination of three ingredients: Glucosamine, is an amino acid and assists in the body’s manufacture of cartilage. MSM is a naturally occurring sulphur compound which helps sooth knocks and return joint mobility. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) has been added in a high concentration to ArthriAid HA for increased potency. While visible results are seen within 10-14 days, long term use is recommended, particularly in the case of older horses or horses in high-intensity work.
What is Glucosamine? Glucosamine, an amino acid, which is the starting point for the production of new cartilage, and is fundamental to maintaining joint function.
What is MSM? MSM is a naturally occurring sulphur compound which helps soothe knocks, bumps, bruises and sprains.
What is HA or Hyaluronic Acid? Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is the principle constituent of Synovial Fluid, natures 'oil for its joints'. HA is the same Glycosaminoglycan found in this Synovial Fluid and in Cartilage matrices. Synovial Fluid is the essential viscous substance that lubricates joints throughout the body and allows two adjacent cartilage caps to glide over one another with minimal friction. Sodium Hyaluronate (HA) is present in a high concentration and this works in a similar way to chondroitin by helping to maintain the spongy texture of joints.
