Cortaflex®
Supplement (Joint Health) For Horses
The joints of performance horses endure significant stress during training and competition, making cartilage and joint fluid the first to exhibit signs of deterioration. Cartilage is the elastic, cushioning material that covers the ends of bones in a joint, serving as a crucial shock absorber and minimizing friction. Joint or synovial fluid should be thick and viscous to nourish and lubricate the joint, also functioning as an essential shock absorber.
Cortaflex® HA Super Fenn Solution delivers vital nutritional components that assist specialized cells, known as chondrocytes, in maintaining healthy cartilage, while also supplying hyaluronic acid to support the health of joint fluid.
- Offers robust joint support for performance, racing, and competition horses, as well as older horses experiencing significant wear and tear, through a distinctive blend of collagen, amino acids, hyaluronic acid, and trace elements, providing essential nutritional components for joint health.
- Includes Boswellia, Yucca, and MSM to enhance joint and muscle comfort for hardworking horses.

What is Cortaflex®?
Cortaflex® supplements are distinct in the market and are often misunderstood when compared to other joint supplements! Cortaflex® provides the necessary components to assist the specialized cells in cartilage, known as chondrocytes, in preserving joint health.
What are the benefits of Cortaflex?
• Collagen – a crucial element required by chondrocytes to create the water-based matrix of cartilage. Collagen contributes to the strength of cartilage. (We source our marine-derived collagen sustainably and ethically.)
• Amino acids such as glutamic acid – converted in the horse’s body to produce glutamine, which pairs with glucose to create glucosamine – a compound that works with others to provide flexibility and shock-absorbing qualities to cartilage.
• Hyaluronic acid (HA) – a vital component of joint fluid, which nourishes the joint and serves as a lubricant and shock absorber.
• Copper, manganese and silicon – essential trace elements necessary for the horse to synthesize its own chondroitin, (another critical structural component of cartilage), collagen, and hyaluronic acid.
Recently, in addition to these essential building blocks, MSM has been included in the Cortaflex® supplements to provide a bio-available source of sulfur, which plays a vital role in repairing the sulfur-containing bonds within the cartilage matrix. MSM also promotes a normal inflammatory response.
