Joint care: Prevention is better than cure!

With horses living longer, and leading more strenuous lives – their joints are put under tremendous amounts of strain and stress. The varying ground, more technical courses, large amounts of road work – are all factors which contribute. Some of these issues may not become apparent instantly, however over a longer period of time, wear and tear could shorten your horse’s ridden life, competition career or lead to more serious issues later on.

This is why leading US manufacturer Grand Meadows, created the first joint-support product to contain Glucosamine. Now, over fifteen years later, Grand Flex is responsible for keeping thousands of horses fit and healthy for longer!

Glucosamine helps to keep joints and cartilage lubricated, as well as stimulating the substances necessary for the formation of joint tissue. As a horse’s body ages or is subjected to hard work it may not be able to produce enough glucosamine – this can result in cartilage that loses its ability to act as a shock absorber in the joints. This is what can lead to stiffness, pain and a reduction in movement in the horse.

The carefully selected ingredients included in Grand Flex are scientifically researched to provide support and therapeutic solutions for optimal joint function. The high quality formula also includes Vitamin C and Methionine – both of which play an important role in joint care.

Highly palatable and cost effective, Grand Flex comes in three sizes, starting at 3.75lb, costing £44.95 for a 60 day supply.
