Phosphate is the major body buffer, essential for muscle function and oxygen transport and is often deficient in diets.

• Provides six key ingredients: Glucosamine

Sulphate, Chondroitin Sulphate,

Manganese Chelate, Vitamin C, MSM and

Bioavailable Curcumin to assist in improving joint health and function in horses • Delivers high-quality Glucosamine Sulphate which is readily absorbed to offer superior concentrations of sulphates within the articular cartilage • Contains Manganese Chelate, a cofactor that is essential for the synthesis of

Chondroitin Sulphate and necessary for the production of synovial fluid (joint lubricant) • Includes Vitamin C which is essential for the health of cartilage and connective tissues • Contains MSM and Bioavailable Curcumin that is known for their natural antiinflammatory properties Benefits:-

• Helps aid joint movement and mobility • Stimulates cartilage formation and repair • Supplementation counteracts the degeneration of joint cartilage resulting from a variety of circumstances such as; direct trauma, structural abnormality of the joint, high impact performance, strenuous training and age-related deterioration • May be of assistance for the improvement of joint health and function associated with osteoarthritis, degenerative joint disease, bony spurs and articular inflammation

Cartilage does not contain an active blood supply and subsequently, maintains structure and health by deriving nutrition from synovial fluid.

It is therefore integral to provide the necessary building blocks of cartilage via dietary supply.

Flyaway

Here is a fly spray for horses.

For the treatment of nuisance insects such as Bush fly (Musca vetustissima), House fly (Musca domestica), Stable fly (Stomoxys calcitrans), Midges or Sandflies (Culicoides spp) and aiding in the prevention of Queensland itch.

Folactin Blue

Folactin Blue from Ranvet is a premium grade mineral supplement which has been formulated to meet the specific mineral requirements of stabled horses being fed high grain diets.

Due to their unnatural environment, stabled horses in work have very different mineral and vitamin requirements from horses at pasture.

Folactin Blue is beneficial for overcoming shifting lameness and general bone weakness caused by high grain, low roughage diets. Such diets are commonly deficient in vitamins A, D, calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron and copper.

Used daily, Folactin Blue helps to overcome mineral imbalances, and aids proper absorption, utilisation and retention of calcium and phosphorous in the horses system.

GastroHEALTH

Kelato’s new GastroHEALTH is a palatable, nutritional supplement formulated to promote the optimal health and function of the total digestive tract.

Nano-Q10

Kentucky Equine Research’s antioxidant supplement for horses in training is a highly- bio-available form of coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone.

Nano-Q10 features advanced nanotechnology to create a rapidly available and absorbed source of coenzyme Q10 that has been shown to be three times more bio-available than powdered crystalline ubiquinone.

Coenzyme Q10 is involved in numerous reactions in the body, primarily the production of energy, and is found in highest concentrations in mitochondria, where its function is to carry protons and electrons, an essential process in the generation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

ATP is the main energy currency used by all cells, including muscle cells.

Coenzyme Q10 is also found in cell membranes, where it boosts cell integrity.

Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant, protecting cells from highly reactive chemicals called free radicals that can damage cells and their DNA.

Besides providing direct antioxidant protection, it also improves the antioxidant potential of other antioxidants in the body, like vitamins C and E.

Features and benefits:-

• Protects against exercise-induced muscle damage

• Prevents the over-expression of proinflammatory compounds

• Defends against oxidative stress in muscle cells

• Works synergistically with vitamins C and E

• Three times more bioavailable than the crystalline powdered form
