Equine America Cortaflex Regular Strength Powder 900g

Equine America Cortaflex HA Regular Strength Powder – 900g

This is the 900g tub of Cortaflex HA Regular Strength Powder, Equine America's code 220C-UK and the size most owners settle on once a horse is past the ten-day loading phase. At the 7g maintenance scoop it runs to roughly 128 days, which is the best part of a season without reordering.

The formula is identical to the smaller tubs: marine collagen and hyaluronic acid for cartilage and joint fluid, 2,500mg of MSM per 14g serving, and chelated manganese and copper on a dehydrated alfalfa base kept deliberately low in sugar. Buying at this size is simply a question of how long you expect to feed it.

Performance & Benefits

• 900g at the 7g maintenance rate is roughly a four-month supply from one tub.
• MSM 2,500mg, marine collagen 280mg and hyaluronic acid 60mg per 14g serving.
• Chelated manganese 50mg, copper 25mg and silicon 10mg per serving, in glycine-chelated form.
• Low-sugar dehydrated alfalfa base rather than a dextrose carrier.
• Whey protein isolate 450mg, glutamic acid 256mg, glycine 131mg and vitamin B6 5.6mg per serving.
• BETA NOPS and UFAS accredited, so suitable for horses competing under FEI regulations and the Rules of Racing.

Suitable For

• Horses and ponies in light to moderate work on a long-term joint programme.
• Older horses where the supplement is likely to stay in the feed permanently.
• Laminitis-prone animals, given the low sugar base.
