So far we have covered some interesting nutritional requirement or ideas
about how supplementation can help horse performance. Today I want to
cover the benefits of a formula called Biomax that includes hyaluronic
acid, chondroitin sulfate, MSM, vitamins c and e, zinc, manganese,
copper, alpha lipoic acid and boswellia extract.
Biomax is a
natural joint lubricant and rejuvenator that is formulated in perfect
proportions for the best advantage for your horse. Here is a
short description for each ingredients included in this formula.
Hyaluronic Acid
HA
is a component of collagen that attracts water to the synovial fluid
and lubricates the joints by creating a protective layer that reduces
friction. This relieves inflammation and pain by improving joint
function and is enhanced when used with anti-oxidants like vitamin c,
vitamin e, and alpha lopic acid.
Chondroitin Sulfate
Chondroitin
sulfate works great with Glucosamine and MSM to replenish collagen and
other components to build cartilage. It promotes enhanced joint
function, elasticity and the cushioning that is needed to withstand
stress and protects collagen while supplying material for the production
of new cartilage.
Antioxidants
Vitamin C, Vitamin E,
Lipoic Acid are powerful antioxidants aid in the bioavailability of the
other ingredients in the formula. Antioxidants reduce the pain
of arthritis by aiding in the control of inflammation.
Trace Minerals
Zinc,
Copper and Manganese are micronutrients essential for proper function
of many enzyme systems and plays a part in formulating keratin and
collagen. It is critical to maintain a 3:1 zinc:copper ratio to sustain
optimum absorption. Zinc is the essential mineral for the formation of
connective tissue. Often manganese is at low levels in most equine diets
and copper deficiency can play a role in the development of arthritis,
tendon and ligament problems.
Boswellia Extract
Boswellia
is know to open up callateral blood circulation to provide adequate
blood flow which helps maintain mobility and reduce pain due to
stiffness.
This formula has been very effective for jumpers,
racers, cross country eventing and many other equine sports and working
horses alike. The formula that I suggest has no fillers, no junks - just
pure ingredients and is available at Equine Nutrition.ca
