Advanced Formulation: NutriFlex features a cutting-edge blend of Hydrolysed Collagen Types I, II, and III and MSM, designed for maximum joint support.
Our patented Type II Collagen is an excellent natural source of Hyaluronic Acid, Glucosaminoglycans and Chondroitin, three critical compounds for equine joint health:
Hyaluronic Acid: This is a key component of the synovial fluid that lubricates joints, reducing friction and ensuring smooth, pain-free movement. By boosting levels of Hyaluronic Acid, our Type II Collagen can support optimal joint function and mobility.
Glucosaminoglycans (GAGs): These are long-chain sugar molecules found in the body, particularly in the connective tissues and synovial fluid surrounding the joints. GAGs are a major component of synovial fluid, the substance that lubricates joints and reduces friction during movement. They help maintain the fluid's viscosity, ensuring smooth, easy movement of the joint. GAGs also contribute to the shock-absorbing properties of the cartilage, protecting joints from damage during physical activities.
Chondroitin: Chondroitin is a principal constituent of cartilage and is essential to its resilience. It helps cartilage resist compression and contributes to its shock-absorbing properties. Chondroitin has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation in the joints, a common cause of joint discomfort and decreased mobility.
Triple-Action Support: Offers comprehensive joint, cartilage, and bone support, addressing the three key areas of equine joint health.
High Bioavailability: The Hydrolysed Collagen in our formulation ensures high bioavailability for maximum absorption and efficacy.

Choosing a supplement that uses minimal ingredients without fillers carries several key benefits that can directly impact the health and well-being of your horse.
- Increased Potency and Effectiveness: Supplements with minimal ingredients often contain higher concentrations of functional foods, ensuring your horse receives the maximum benefit. Without unwanted fillers diluting the product, each serving packs more of the essential nutrients for maximum benefits.
- Improved Digestibility: Fillers can sometimes interfere with the digestibility of a product, making it harder for your pet's body to absorb and utilise the vital nutrients. By eliminating fillers, the body can more efficiently process the supplement, which can improve your horse's overall nutrient absorption.
- Reduced Allergenic Potential: Fillers often include ingredients that may cause allergies or intolerances in some animals, such as certain grains or artificial additives. By choosing a supplement with minimal ingredients, you lower the risk of introducing potential allergens into your pet's diet.
- Better Quality Control: A product with fewer ingredients is easier to monitor for quality control purposes. It reduces the risk of contamination and ensures a more consistent product in terms of potency and quality.
- Transparent and Trustworthy: A supplement that declares all its ingredients and avoids fillers offers transparency to horse owners. It shows a commitment to pet health over profit and earns trust by demonstrating that every ingredient serves a specific purpose.
By choosing a horse hip and joint supplement like NutriFlex Advanced Collagen Supplement For Horses, which prioritises minimal ingredients without fillers, you're opting for a more potent, digestible, safe, consistent, and trustworthy product. It's a choice that places the health and well-being of your equine companion at the forefront.
For optimal results with the NutriFlex Advanced Collagen Joint Supplement for horses, adhere to the following guidelines:
- Administration: The supplement can be sprinkled directly onto your horse's regular feed. Alternatively, dissolve the recommended dosage in a small amount of warm water and pour it over the feed.
- Frequency: Remember, consistency is key to seeing a notable improvement in your horse's joint strength, mobility, and overall performance. Incorporate this supplement into your equine partner's feeding routine at least once daily.

Understanding the Impact of Joint Diseases on Horses
Joint diseases are a significant concern in equine health, as they can affect a horse's quality of life, comfort, and potential longevity. These conditions often involve pain, inflammation, and decreased mobility due to the gradual wear and tear of joint tissues. This wear can lead to friction, irritation, and damage within the joint, causing discomfort and functional impairments.
Managing Equine Joint Diseases
Although joint diseases can be challenging, early detection and proactive management can help maintain a horse's comfort and activity levels. Addressing joint health early and consistently can contribute to a horse’s quality of life, even after a diagnosis of joint disease. Management strategies can vary based on the individual horse and the nature of its condition.
Risk Factors for Equine Joint Disease
Several factors can increase the risk of developing joint diseases in horses. Awareness of these factors can assist in prevention and early management:
- Poor Nutrition: Adequate nutrition is crucial for maintaining joint health.
- Age and Genetic Predisposition: Older horses and certain breeds may be more susceptible to joint issues.
- Hormonal Imbalance: Can affect the health and resilience of joints.
- Developmental Dysplasias: Conditions like hip dysplasia can impact joint integrity.
- Excessive Joint Activity: High-impact activities can strain joints over time.
- Physical Injuries: Injuries can lead to or exacerbate joint problems.
- Infections: Certain infections can impact joint health.
- Exposure to Toxic Chemicals and Heavy Metals: Environmental factors can contribute to joint issues.
- Excess Body Weight: Can place additional strain on joints.
- Immune System Dysfunction: Can affect the body's ability to maintain healthy joints.
Type II Collagen for Equine Joint Health
Formulated with Type II collagen protein, derived from chicken sternum, this supplement is crafted to support the unique joint health needs of horses. Type II collagen is a rich source of proteins, essential amino acids, glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, and hyaluronic acid. These nutrients are crucial for maintaining healthy joints in horses, aiding in enhancing joint function, comfort, and mobility.
Bioavailability in Horses
Research in equine nutrition suggests that nutrients obtained from natural sources might be more efficiently absorbed by horses compared to synthetic alternatives. This increased bioavailability means that the natural nutrients, like those in Type II collagen, can be potentially more beneficial for horses, supporting their joint health more effectively.
Type II Collagen’s Role in Equine Joints
Type II collagen, as the primary ingredient in this supplement, is integral to equine joint health. Studies indicate that including Type II collagen in a horse's diet could support the health of joints, potentially reducing the need for conventional joint pain and inflammation treatments. However, outcomes can vary among individual horses, and further research is always beneficial.
Interesting Fact: In horses, Type II collagen protein is a key component of healthy joint cartilage, essential for providing strength and resilience in their active lifestyle.
Efficiency of Type II Collagen for Horses It's suggested that daily supplementation with Type II collagen for horses might be more readily absorbed compared to native cartilage, signifying quick assimilation into the horse's body, especially targeting the health and function of the joints.
Understanding MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) in the Body
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is an organic sulfur-containing compound found naturally in plants, animals, and humans. It's recognised for its involvement in various bodily functions, including the formation of blood proteins, amino acids, and connective tissues. MSM is also noted for its contribution to maintaining the appearance of healthy skin and coat in animals.
MSM and Aging
It's observed that the body's MSM concentrations might decrease with age. While the full implications of this reduction are still the subject of ongoing research, some studies suggest that maintaining adequate sulfur levels is important for overall health and well-being.
Sulfur's Role in Health
Sulfur, as a vital component of MSM, plays a role in various body processes. There are indications from some research that sulfur deficiencies could impact several aspects of health. This includes the condition of skin and coat, the effectiveness of the gastrointestinal and immune systems, and possibly the comfort and functionality of joints. In the context of joint health, some research points to a potential relationship between sulfur levels and joint discomfort, with implications for conditions like arthritis.
