Lameness is the main cause of training days lost and failure to compete and is the primary reason for poor performance and early retirement of competing horses.  Studies show that ± 60% of lameness in horses are related to osteoarthritis and up to 33% of horses assessed in hospital had visible intra-articular lesions related to osteoarthritis.

Causes Of Lameness and Associated Osteoarthritis in Horses

• trauma to the joint
• conformation
• developmental defects
• infection
• metabolic disturbances
• circulatory and nervous disorders
• shoeing
• nutritional deficiencies
• managemental and environmental factors
• ageing

GCS MAX promotes the production, protection and restoration of joint cartilage in horses. It is a nutritional aid that has been developed for competing sport horses with a high workload and horses prone to joint issues.  Now with:

• CHONDROITIN SULPHATE
  Chondroitin sulphate has been shown to promote active cartilage regeneration, inhibit degenerative enzymes, reduce pain and inhibit subchondral bone resorption
• GLUCOSAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE
  Glucosamine is an important precursor for proteoglycan production and has been shown to prevent cartilage degeneration and subchondral bone resorption, enhance chondrocyte proliferation and extracellular matrix production
• HYDROLYSED COLLAGEN TYPE II
  Hydrolysed collagen type II has been shown to accumulate in the articular cartilage and stimulates the chondrocyte to produce type II collagen, restoring the architectural integrity of the cartilage. It has also been shown to increase mobility and reduce pain.
• MSM
  MSM acts as an antioxidant within the joint and reduces both joint and muscle pain
  when given as a pre-treatment before strenuous endurance excercises.
