Horse owners often face various issues related to their horses' joints and ligaments. These issues can impact the horse's overall health, performance, and quality of life. Some common problems include:

• Arthritis: Arthritis is a degenerative joint disease that affects the cartilage in the joints. It can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility in horses. Horse owners often have to manage arthritis through proper exercise, joint supplements, and sometimes medication. 
• Ligament Injuries: Ligaments are tough connective tissues that stabilise joints. Horses can experience ligament injuries due to overexertion, sudden movements, or accidents. These injuries can lead to lameness and require veterinary attention, rest, and rehabilitation. 
• Tendon Injuries: Tendons connect muscles to bones and play a crucial role in movement. Tendon injuries, such as strains or tears, are common in horses, especially in sports that involve fast and strenuous activities. Recovery from tendon injuries can be lengthy and require careful management to prevent re-injury. 
• Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD): DJD is a progressive condition that affects the horse's joints over time. It can be caused by repetitive stress, poor conformation, or aging. Horse owners may need to manage DJD with a combination of exercise, joint supplements, and anti-inflammatory medications. 
• Conformation Issues: Poor conformation, which refers to the horse's skeletal structure and alignment, can predispose horses to joint and ligament problems. Corrective trimming and shoeing, along with appropriate exercise routines, can help mitigate these issues. 
• Overexertion and Training: Overtraining or improper training practices can lead to excessive strain on a horse's joints and ligaments, increasing the risk of injuries. Horse owners need to design suitable training programs that consider the horse's age, fitness level, and the type of activity. 
• Nutrition: Proper nutrition plays a significant role in maintaining healthy joints and ligaments. Nutritional deficiencies can impact the horse's overall health and increase the risk of joint and ligament issues. 
• Weight Management: Excess weight can put additional stress on a horse's joints, leading to increased wear and tear. Horse owners should monitor their horses' weight and provide a balanced diet to prevent obesity-related joint problems. 
• Age-Related Changes: Just like humans, horses also experience age-related changes in their joints and ligaments. Regular veterinary check-ups and appropriate management can help alleviate the effects of aging on these structures. 

ProFlex supports the skeletal, endocrine, nervous and circulatory systems. ProFlex provides the horse with precursors for the natural synthesis of ingredients, such as collagen, to support normal joint and ligament function. 

Key Benefits of ProFlex: 

• Comprehensive Support: ProFlex provides your horse with vital nutrients that assist in maintaining healthy joints, ligaments, and hooves, addressing various aspects of musculoskeletal well-being. 
• Long-Term Solution: ProFlex is designed to be integrated into your horse's daily routine over an extended period. Its consistent usage can lead to gradual and lasting improvements in joint and ligament health. 
• Natural Synthesis: By offering the building blocks necessary for the natural synthesis of Chondroitin, Hyaluronic Acid and other essential compounds, ProFlex supports the structural integrity of connective tissues. 

• Glucosamine: Supports cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and synovial fluid, contributing to joint health. 
• MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane): Provides sulfur, an essential element for connective tissue formation, and may have anti-inflammatory properties. 
• Lysine: Vital for cartilage tissue structure and protein synthesis when combined with Vitamin C. Vitamin C: Crucial for collagen formation, a key component of tendons and ligaments. 
• Zinc: Essential for enzymatic processes involved in collagen synthesis. 
• Hesperidin (Citrus Bioflavonoid): May support antioxidant function, aiding in overall health. 
• Gotu Kola: A traditional herb believed to promote blood vessel and connective tissue integrity and promote HA and Chondroitin production. 
• Gelatin: a form of hydrolyzed collagen. Collagen is a key component of healthy skin, muscle, tendons, joints, bones and digestion.
