Sinew-XTM contains D-Glucosamine sulphate (5,000 mg), MSM (3,500 mg) and also anti- in ammatory herbs. The antiin ammatory effect
of the herbs used in Sinew-X do not affect the gastrointestinal tract of horses. Sometimes when the in ammation from the injury is severe, AntiFlamTM
is a useful addition to the treatment process. GLS PowderTM contains D-glucosamine sulphate (10,000 mg), MSM (5,000 mg) and the minerals silicon and boron for strengthening bone and hoof.
Another important component of the joint is the synovial uid. The major building block of the synovial tissue is hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a long chain polymer of various chain lengths. As a rule, the shorter the length of the hyaluronic acid chain the greater the absorption. Omega Alpha’s HA-180TM contains the shortest available hyaluronic acid chains in order to maximize absorption.
Prevention of Joint Injuries:
Prevention of joint injuries is not possible. There
are too many accidental ways to injure a joint. The best that we can do is strengthen the joints by strengthening the ligaments, tendons, bone and cartilage. Having a good training program in addition to providing optimum nutrition that targets joint tissue to minimize in ammation and optimize repair is a sound strategy. Using Sinew-X and Anti am on a maintenance program is a good method to minimize the in ammatory process and hence optimize
the repair process. Providing optimum amount
of the different B vitamins and different types of minerals are also an important component of the repair process. The B vitamins are an important component in providing the energy for the biochemical process of repair of tissue. The minerals such as
zinc, copper, manganese, boron, silicon are also important cofactors for the optimization of enzyme function for the biochemical synthesis of the new
and strengthened tissue. Omega Alpha’s MinerEQ contains an optimal amount of various minerals and various B vitamins.
In Summary, Omega Alpha’s Sinew-X, AntiFlam , HA-180 , MinerEQTM and GLS PowderTM play an important role in the treatment and strengthening of joint tissue.
