Orthoplex ^HA Solution

Many competition horses, particularly older horses, suffer from the wear and tear of extreme physical exercise.
The traditional approach to these injuries were pain killers and anti-inflammatories.
Research has shown that this approach often serves to mask the underlying problem and may even exacerbate the condition.

ORTHOPLEX ^HA SOLUTION - the new generation mobility horse supplement supplies important nutrients which may help horses endure the rigors of training and competition.

ORTHOPLEX ^HA SOLUTION - is a fast acting liquid formulation for the nutritional support of healthy cartilage and joints in horses, with the additional benefit of Sodium Hyaluronate.

SODIUM HYALURONATE is a normal constituent of the joint, its quantity and quality is reduced in the presence of synovitis and osteoarthritic cartilage. One of its most important roles is to increase the viscosity of the synovial fluid, this will reduce friction between the articular surfaces, thus insuring a correct and smooth movement of the joint.

GLUCOSAMINE HCl enhances the level of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the joint. These GAGs are the ‘building blocks’ in the cartilage matrix. Glucosamine HCl 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 HCl and Chondroitin Sulphate in the repair of the cartilage matrix.
