Key Ingredients:

Glucosamine HCI

Crucial in maintaining optimal joint function, supporting joint health and repair.

MSM

Supports joint health, soothes discomfort, and protects against detrimental changes that can occur during exercise

Chondroitin

Helps enhance shock absorption, lubrication and joint integrity.

L-Arginine

Is known to help reduce the breakdown of protein in equine joint cartilage. It has anti-inflammatory effects through strengthening of the immune system and supporting the production of Nitric Oxide which helps circulation and nutrient delivery to the joints.

Hyaluronic acid (HA)

An essential component of synovial fluid in joints which supports joint lubrication and helps to cushion joint impact.

Boswellia

Helps support joints by reducing the degradation of glycosaminoglycans, which help protect joints against deterioration.

Vitamin C

A powerful antioxidant that helps support joints by neutralising free radical damage associated with wear and tear.

Omega 3

Helps soothe and comfort active joints. Studies have shown that supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce inflammation in the joints of horses, in both young and older horses.

Performance Flex Plus^TM is a powerful, comprehensive and effective joint supplement for horses in competition, with a heavy workload, or with reduced mobility and challenged joints. It can also be used to maintain healthy joints and to help prolong your horse or pony’s happy, comfortable, working life.

A horse’s joints need to act as shock absorbers during exercise and therefore supporting your horse’s joint health is essential.

The joints comprise two bone ends covered by articular cartilage (provides cushioning to the joint) encased within a joint capsule (or sac). The inner layer of the sac, which is called the synovial lining, secretes synovial fluid that provides lubrication and prevents friction between the bones.

The articular cartilage is made up of collagen, proteoglycans and water. Proteoglycans consist of chains of glycosaminoglycans, which are a type of carbohydrate attached to a protein to provide strength to the cartilage. Chondroitin sulphate is a glycosaminoglycan and is a key component of proteoglycans. Synovial fluid contains hyaluronic acid (also a glycosaminoglycan) and a protein called lubricin.  Read more about Joint Health>>>

Feeding Guide

Horses in hard work or with challenged joints*

Weight of horse:

• Pony, approx. 250kgs: 1 scoop per day (40 grams)
• Horse, approx. 500kgs: 2 scoops per day (80 grams)
• Large horse, approx. 750kgs: 4 scoops per day (160 grams)

A 2.4kg bag will last approximately 30 days for a 500kg horse.

Feeding Guide - General maintenance or those in lighter work*

One level scoop is 40 grams (50ml)

Weight of horse:

• 250kgs - 499kgs: Half a scoop a day (20 grams)
• 500kgs - 600kg: 1 scoop a day (40 grams)
• 601kgs - 749kgs: 2 scoops a day (80 grams)
• 750kgs+: 3 scoops a day (80 grams)

A 1.2kg bag will last approximately 30 days for a 500kg horse.

*Loading dose for first time use, double the daily recommendation for 7 days and split between feeds. For example, for a 500kg horse, feed 1 scoop in the morning and 1 scoop in the evening.

Further feeding guide information

If your horse is 601kgs - 749kgs and you would like a month supply including the loading dose, there will be surplus product.If your horse is 750kgs+, you will not have quite enough product to last a full month with an additional loading dose. However, larger serving sizes will be available very soon.We recommend the next serving size up if feeding at the hard work/competition horse rate.
