{"product_id":"equine-america-kentucky-joint-super-strength-powder-32307","title":"Equine America Kentucky Joint Super Strength Powder","description":"This new product from Equine America is a powerful joint supplement.\r\n\r\nJoint disease, especially wear and tear of the cartilage which covers the articular surfaces of bones within the joint is one of the most common causes of reduced performance and ultimately lameness in performance horses.\r\n\r\nThis powder has a super balance of ingredients that will maintain your horses joints for many years to come.\r\n\r\nIn a healthy joint, cartilage is continuously undergoing repair to micro-damage, but as cartilage doesn't have its own blood supply, it relies on the bone underneath and the synovial or fluid bathing the joint to supply nutrients and key compounds to complete these repairs.\r\n\r\nAs the horse ages, or the daily impact of training and competition increase, the ability of the underlying bone and synovial fluid to provide these nutrients may not be enough to keep up the rate of repair needed, and damage, with the resulting pain, loss of performance and eventually lameness becomes evident.\r\n\r\nIt is vital that high-performance horses receive a dietary supply of these key nutrients to maintain the rate of repair, to ensure the cartilage and joint fluid retain their elasticity and shock-absorbing properties to help maintain peak performance.\r\n\r\nEach 35g serve provides powerful joint support for performance horses, supplying:\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlucosamine HCl 12,000mg - to support cartilage structure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoswellia 1700mg - to support the horse's own anti-inflammatory processes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eN-acetyl Glucosamine 1100mg - to support healthy cartilage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMSM 12,000mg - to promote cartilage elasticity and shock absorption.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHyaluronic acid 330mg - to support joint fluid health and elasticity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey bio-available trace elements (from chelates) and vitamins - to support vital enzymes in maintaining joint health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBETA NOPS and UFAS accredited, ensuring our products do not contain prohibited substances and are suitable for horses competing under FEI regulations and the Rules of Racing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\nA complementary feed for horses and ponies, designed to support and maintain healthy joints, as part of a balanced diet.\r\n\r\nKey Ingredients\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlucosamine \u003c\/strong\u003e- is one of the key compounds in supporting joint health, and has 3 important roles:\r\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo stimulate the production of proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which help to produce the strong, elastic, shock-absorbing properties of the collagen matrix in the cartilage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo help reduce the degradation of cartilage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt has antioxidant properties and helps support the horse's own anti-inflammatory processes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eN-Acetyl D Glucosamine\u003c\/strong\u003e - an additional source of glucosamine that is particularly important in supporting the horse's own anti-inflammatory processes.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eChondroitin Sulphate\u003c\/strong\u003e - is a key compound in maintaining the structure, elasticity and shock-absorbing properties of cartilage, partly through its water-retaining properties.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoswellia \u003c\/strong\u003e- The Boswellic Acids, in particular, AKBA (Acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid) have been shown to support the horse's own anti-inflammatory processes, helping to maintain performance levels. Boswellia also provides antioxidants and other important phytochemicals to support joint health and comfort.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMSM \u003c\/strong\u003e- promotes a normal inflammatory response to help reduce ongoing damage. It also provides a bio-available source of sulphur to support and help strengthen the bonds in the structural matrix of the cartilage, and the tendons and ligaments.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eHyaluronic Acid\u003c\/strong\u003e - is vital to maintain the viscosity and elastic shock-absorbing properties of joint fluid, and is increasingly recognized as playing a vital role in joint health.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVitamin C\u003c\/strong\u003e - plays a key role in the production of collagen, which provides the structural framework for the vital shock-absorbing cartilage.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eManganese, Copper and Zinc Glycinates\u003c\/strong\u003e - are a bioavailable source of key trace mineral which plays a key role in many enzymes systems involved in joint health.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagnesium Sulphate\u003c\/strong\u003e - provides a source of magnesium to support many enzyme systems involved in supporting the musculoskeletal system.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Pepper\u003c\/strong\u003e - provides a source of piperine, which is thought to help the absorption of these key ingredients to support joint health.\r\n\r\nKentucky Joint Super Strength Powder contains optimum levels of these key ingredients to provide essential nutritional support for cartilage repair and to help maintain healthy joint fluid to lubricate and nourish the joint, maintaining the health and vital shock-absorbing properties in hard-working joints.\r\n\r\nKentucky Joint Super Strength Powder will also help support the horse's own anti-inflammatory processes to help maintain joint and muscle comfort in high-performance horses.\r\n\r\nComposition: Glucosamine hydrochloride (34.3%), Methylsulphonylmethane (MSM 34.3%), Chondroitin Sulphate (14.3), Boswellia Extract (4.9%), Magnesium sulphate, N-Acetyl D-Glucosamine (3.1%), Hyaluronic Acid (0.9%, Black Pepper.\r\n\r\nAdditives (per kg):\r\n\r\nNutritional Additives: Vitamins: Vitamin C (3a312) 14286mg.\r\n\r\nTrace elements: Copper (3b413 copper (II) chelate of glycine hydrate) 714mg, Zinc (3b607 zinc chelate of glycine hydrate) 1429mg, Manganese (3b506 manganese chelate of glycine hydrate) 1429mg.\r\n\r\nSensory additives: 2b Boswellia Serrata 48,571mg, 2b Mixture of flavouring compounds 2000mg.","brand":"Equine America","offers":[{"title":"1.155kg","offer_id":64069124063562,"sku":"eakentuckyjointranch1155g","price":77.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"700g","offer_id":64069124096330,"sku":"eakentuckyjointranch700g","price":55.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1090\/8503\/2778\/files\/kentucky-joint-super-strength-powder-main.png?v=1792766523","url":"https:\/\/theranchstore.co.uk\/products\/equine-america-kentucky-joint-super-strength-powder-32307","provider":"The Ranch Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
