Why Best-Flex HA?
All activity, particularly jumping, galloping or performing collected movements can put pressure on our horses’ joints. It is vital that we do all we can to care for these joints and ensure that they are consistently well supported to assist in optimal wellbeing of the horse.
Best-Flex HA֡® supplies the nutrients to aid the production of connective tissues, supporting joint lubrication and collagen synthesis. By supplementing your horse with Best-Flex HA®, you can be confident that they are receiving high levels of the essential active ingredients to support and soothe the joints.
The scientific basis of our Best-Flex HA® formulation:
It has been shown through multiple scientific studies and published clinical evidence that oral supplementation with joint nutraceuticals can be beneficial in supporting joint function, flexibility and overall suppleness. Glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate (low molecular weight), hyaluronic acid (HA) and methylsulphonylmethane (MSM) are the well-researched ingredients proven to provide significant results. Additional helpful joint nutrients include antioxidants and soothing foods such as boswellia, vitamin C and those rich in omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Other manufacturers may choose to include other, sometimes peculiar, ingredients to make their formulation different - these ingredients may not be so well researched or proven and may have consequences if fed above certain rates or on a long-term basis.
Best-Flex HA® is SAFE to feed at increased levels and for extended periods for horses that may require additional support. Furthermore, Feedmark's CPI policy (Continuous Product Improvement) ensures we are constantly updating our formulations to provide the latest beneficial ingredients based on our experience, research and trials - we have 40 years of excellence in equine nutrition under our belt.
Glucosamine is a well-known and widely researched joint health ingredient. It is a small, water-soluble molecule and plays a vital role in building cartilage, ligaments and tendons. It also occurs naturally in the fluid around the joints and in bones. Cartilage is the firm, rubbery tissue that pads the ends of bones where it meets a joint. Ageing and general ‘wear and tear’ results in cartilage becoming less flexible and steadily breaking down. Glucosamine is required for the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), the compression-resistant components of cartilage. Two GAGs specific to joint mobility are chondroitin sulphate and hyaluronic acid.
Chondroitin sulphate (low molecular weight) is found in cartilage and is a key component for cartilage strength and longevity. Rather than being directly absorbed through the intestinal wall, it is thought to enzymatically degrade with studies showing good bioavailability.
Glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate together support cartilage function.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a key component of connective tissue and cartilage which aids joint lubrication. It has high shock-absorbing properties and although a horse can make HA, it breaks down relatively quickly and as they age, the body produces less. HA supplemented daily can help support joint health and flexibility.
MSM is found in many foods and it is a source of sulphur and necessary for the production of collagen. Collagen is the most abundant protein in horses and is found in tendons, ligaments and cartilage. MSM has been shown to have antioxidant benefits that make it a helpful joint nutraceutical to support flexibility and elasticity.
Boswellia (Boswellia serrata) is the resin collected from the Boswellia serrata tree. This resin contains boswellic and other organic acids that has been shown to be effective for joint comfort.
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin and acts as an antioxidant. It is required for the production of collagen and connective tissue, such as tendons and ligaments Collagen forms part of the extracellular matrix of joint cartilage.
Omega 3 fatty acids, such as those found in a high ratio in linseed, have been shown to have a supportive role in joint health and stiffness. Daily supplementation with omega 3 rich linseed may help with general flexibility and suppleness.
