The Bar has been raised with a nutritional aid for the production, protection, and restoration of cartilage matrix in joints.

There are 5 actives in the GCS Max Joint Care which 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.

• 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 extracellural matrix production.
• Chondroitin Sulphate
  • Chondroitin Sulphate has been shown to promote active cartilage regeneration, inhibit degenerative enzymes, reduce pain and inhibit subchondral bone resorption.
• 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 exercises.
• Avocado/Soyabean Unsaponifiables (ASU)
  • ASU supplementation caused a significant reduction on the degree of macroscopic cartilage erosion, synovial hemorrhage scores and intimal hyperlasia in the synovial membrane.

GCS Max Joint Care is available in a 600g Pouch or 1.8kg Tub.
