DIRECTIONS

 Hygain Flexion is suitable for all classes of horses.

Hygain recommends that horses should be initially dosed with 2 level scoops per day for 30 days. After that period a maintenance dose of one level scoop per day is required. One level scoop equals 20 grams.

 SPECIAL INGREDIENTS

Glucosamine - The main action of glucosamine on joints is to stimulate the manufacture of substances necessary for joint synthesis. Glucosamine is required by the body for the synthesis of an important family of macromolecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). These long chains of modified sugars (mucopolysaccharides) make up many body tissues including tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. Researchers have found that glucosamine is the key precursor for all the various sugars found in (GAG), and further, that glucosamine occupies the pivotal position in connective tissue synthesis by stimulating collagen production. The lack of glucosamine in the joints may lead to specific tissue weakness. As tissues in the joints become damaged, the lubricating synovial fluid in the joint spaces becomes thin and watery. Therefore the normal cushioning effect within the joint is lost, leaving the bones and cartilage to grind against each other inside the joint space, eventually leading to pain, inflammation and osteoarthritis.

Glucosamine HCI has the advantage of being more absorbable than other (GAG) products currently available such as chondroitin sulphate, shark cartilage and N-acetyl-glycosamine (NAG). The molecules in these products are up to 250 times larger than those of Glucosamine HCI, thereby making their absorption far less effective and reliable.

Hygain Flexion has been formulated with Glucosamine HCI as it contains more glucosamine per molecule than the Glucosamine Sulphate Complex, as can been seen in the graph.

Proline - Proline is an amino acid required for the configuration of the collagen and, in turn, cartilage. Proline is a required component for the production of collagen’s triple helix structure (No Proline, No Collagen). Proline is not readily available in equine diets and so is an essential addition to any joint supplement.

Additional Amino Acids - Amino acids are provided to optimise the utilisation of the active constituents supplied. Methionine, a sulphur bearing amino acid, aids in the synthesis of cartilage and connective tissue. Methionine is also a precursor catalyst for the formation of niacinamide and the metabolism of glucosamine.

Antioxidants - Antioxidants are believed to reduce inflammation and pain by scavenging free radicals, which are thought to trigger tissue inflammation at the cellular level via oxidative reactions. Although horses manufacture their own ascorbic acid, this may not be enough to counter the physical demands placed upon them. Vitamin C is considered to be a most effective antioxidant.

Minerals - Hygain Flexion contains Bioplex® chelated trace minerals. These are minerals which are bound to an amino acid or amino acid chain by means of a chemical reaction. The chelation process protects the minerals from oxidative reactions within the horse’s stomach that may lead to other forms of inorganic mineral supplementation (oxides and sulphates) to become less absorbable or conflict with other nutrients which can cause gastric intestinal irritations. The BIOPLEX® chelates in Hygain Flexion offer a more efficient and absorbable method of providing mineral supplementation.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) - MSM is a source of bio-available sulfur. Sulfur plays a critical role in the synthesis of connective tissues, hormones and essential amino acids. Scientific research suggests that a horse should receive 1g of bio-active sulphur per day.

Lysine - Also required to aid in the synthesis and repair of connective tissues.

 WHY FEED Hygain Sporthorse?

Soybean Meal, Canola Meal, Lucerne Meal, Calcium Carbonate, Hygain® Vitamin and Chelated Mineral Pre-Mix, Chromium Yeast, Selplex®, Bioavailable Selenium, Bio-Mos®, Diacalcium Phosphate, Vitamin E, Yea Sacc®1026 and Flavour Enhancers.

Hygain Sporthorse is scientifically formulated to provide balanced levels of essential amino acids, bio-chelated minerals, vitamins and anti-oxidants required by performance horses in all stages of training. This unique formula provides a palatable easy to use nutrient source for horses where diets may be mineral and / or vitamin deficient.

Hygain Sporthorse is a convenient cost effective concentrate in a pelleted form, so there is no sifting out of powders to the bottom of the feed bin and you know exactly what your horse is receiving.

Choosing the correct supplement for your horse can be a minefield. The shelves of saddleries and feed stores are filled with a multitude of buckets, bottles and casks delivering all manner of nutrients from Calcium to B-Groups, Selenium to Amino Acids.

The nutrient composition of many vitamin or trace mineral products often requires horse owners to feed multiple additives just to meet their horse’s broad but basic needs. 

By contrast Hygain Sporthorse is a complete and balanced multi vitamin and mineral supplement that meets your horse’s needs in just one convenient dose.

 WHY FEED Hygain Regain?

When horse’s sweat they lose significant amounts of the electrolytes, sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium and calcium. Excessive electrolyte depletion can cause muscle fatigue, muscle damage and dehydration resulting in poor performance and conditions such as hyponatremia, hypochloraemia, and alkalosis.

SPECIAL INGREDIENTS

Sodium and Chloride: Common salt (NaCl), which is composed of two ions, sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-). They are the major electrolytes of the body.

Potassium: One of potassium’s major roles is to maintain and ensure correct cellular osmotic pressure which affects the sensitivity of nerves and muscles to impulses. Horses suffering from a lack of potassium are prone to fatigue, muscle weakness, exercise intolerance, tying-up and decreased water intake.

Magnesium: Magnesium plays a critical role as a co-factor in over 300 enzymatic reactions within the body. Magnesium is also required for muscle function and is essential for DNA to send messages to the cells.

Calcium: Deficiencies of calcium in its ionic form may lead to muscle weakness and conditions such as tying-up and ‘thumps’.

FACTS ABOUT ELECTROLYTES

Electrolytes are electrically charged salts or ‘ions’ such as sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium and calcium which are dissolved and carried in the blood and cell fluids. As salts dissolve in the blood and tissues of the body, electrolytes assist in preserving the correct balance of fluids both inside and outside the cells. Electrolytes also function in the generation of nerve impulses, contraction and relaxation of muscles, the beating of the heart and processing of wastes, in fact electrolytes are involved in virtually every function of the body.

The efficiency with which the horse can use individual electrolytes in their diet can be influenced by many factors. Although the horse’s body efficiently conserves needed electrolytes a certain amount is lost each day through urine, manure, sweat and secretions in the digestive tract. In addition to these normal losses, electrolytes are lost in increasing amounts due to exercise, climatic conditions, and disease e.g. diarrhoea. An electrolyte imbalance may cause such complications as dehydration, muscle fatigue, reduced stamina, overheating, anhidrosis, and tying-up. It is therefore essential that electrolyte supplementation occurs as part of your daily nutritional management practices.
