TURMERIC (curcuma longa and curcuma xanthorhizza):

Known as the vibrant golden ingredient used liberally in Indian curries, turmeric has a long history of use in both Indian and Chinese traditional medicine. The inherent therapeutic properties are attributed to the vivid yellow-orange pigments (curcuminoids) that are present in turmeric. They are believed to have powerful antioxidant properties (significantly more so than vitamin E or C) and may increase the body's ability to neutralise free radicals before they damage healthy cells and cell membranes. In combination with its perceived anti-inflammatory effects, turmeric has also been known for its role in the prevention or alleviation of an impressive array conditions. 

Turmeric may also be useful in reducing inflammation particularly for animals with arthritis and itchy skin. 

GROUND BLACK PEPPER:

The inclusion of ground black pepper to this mix may increase the bio-availabilty and absorption rate of turmeric and Resveratrol. 

POWERSTANCE (powdered coconut oil):

Stance Equine's powdered coconut oil supplement is a unique coconut delivery system that gives the benefits of this wonderful tropical oil and may also help to increase the absorption of turmeric in the digestive system. Coconut oil contains high levels of medium chain triglycerides (MCT's) which provide the body with a readily available energy source and Lauric Acid, which converts to monolaurin and may provide anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties. The benefits of supplementing animals with coconut oil may include improved digestive health, enhanced coat and skin condition. 

RESVERATROL:

Resveratrol is produced in plants to maintain their general health. Normal body functioning gives rise to free radicals with production greatly increased during inflammation and stress. Resveratrol has been added to Turmericle as it is an antioxidant that may help the body efficiently detoxify these free radicals.  The resveratrol is  derived from Japanese knotweed.

Equitec Pro Flex is a broad spectrum joint food essential for maintaining healthy cartilage, ligaments, tendons and bones.

Glucosamine is found in tendons, ligaments, synovial fluid, mucus membranes, and several structures in the eye, blood vessels and heart valves.

Methionine is a sulphur bearing amino acid and is converted to an important component of connective tissue.

S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) has been used in clinic applications for the treatment of osteoarthritis. Unfortunately SAM is expensive, however, its precursors are not.

Methionine is a catalyst and aids in the administration of niacin amide and metabolism of glucosamine. Lysine is an amino acid that when hydroxylated by Vitamin C, is extremely important in the structure of cartilage tissue, and protein synthesis.

Proline is the amino acid that supplies the bend in the peptide chains for collagen's characteristic triple helix structure.

Zinc Amino Chelate- Zinc is required for over 70 different enzymes to function.

In this instance Zinc is used in the hydrolysis and cross linking needed for collagen formation. Zinc deficient animals have been shown to have impaired epiphysial cartilage and collagen development.

Copper Amino Chelate- Copper works in this case as a co-enzyme important for the formation of the disulfide bonds characteristic in collagen structure.

Manganese Amino Chelate- Manganese is important in this formula with its activation of enzymes needed for the binding of glucose to the other molecules that form cartilage.

Vitamin C is an essential element for the formulation of the hydroxyl groups needed in cartilage synthesis. Vitamin C deficiency results in a depressed immune system and reduced production of collagen – the protein based structure element in tendons and ligaments.

Citrus Bioflavonoid – anti-oxidant protection to mitigate free radical activity, which occurs as a result of cartilage degradation.

Niacinamide plays an important role in the anti-inflammatory response of joints to stress. It also interrupts the production of intracellular adhesion molecules.

PRO-FLEX is not a drug and is completely safe and non toxic. It may be administered even on competition day.

PRO-FLEX IS NOT a quick fix.

After a few days the horse may show some improvement however, this does not mean the horse has been cured, and administration of the product should be continued.

Pawsome Organics Hemp and Turmeric Oil is the ultimate natural solution for reducing inflammation in dogs with arthritis symptoms and sore joints, as the hemp oil has the perfect ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 to produce potent anti-inflammatory effects.
