LEXA Arthro-Plus 1kg

The new generation of doping-free nutrient combination to support the musculoskeletal system

The use of special nutrients has proven very effective in strengthening and supporting joints and connective tissue. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which are among the main components of articular cartilage, play a central role here. This group of natural glycosaminoglycans includes cartilage-forming substances such as glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid. Scientific studies (McIlwraith, 2004; Neil et al., 2005; Forsyth et al., 2006; Bergin et al., 2006) have shown that the intake of these joint nutrients through food can support the formation of these substances in the joint and improve joint mobility. Unfortunately, today's horse diets often contain significant deficiencies, and thus, in addition to injuries, overloads, or conformation defects, an undersupply of micronutrients and "cartilage nutrients" can negatively affect joint health. Especially in horses with high athletic demands, older horses, or those with pre-existing susceptibility, supplementing with selected nutrients through food is therefore ideal. In addition to glucosamine and hyaluronic acid, Arthro-Plus contains an innovative vital substance complex made from the eggshell membrane of chicken eggs. This is a pure natural product, without the use of chemicals. The eggshell membrane naturally contains the optimal combination of ingredients needed for the musculoskeletal system. This provides the following additional ingredients in natural form for the musculoskeletal system:

• Collagen
• Hyaluronic acid
• Chondroitin sulfate
• Glucosamine
• Lysozyme

LEXA Arthro-Plus serves to supplement with nutrients to support joints, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons during heavy strain or individual susceptibility. LEXA Arthro-Plus contains a special combination of hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, and eggshell membrane, which has been specifically enriched with trace elements and vitamins. This is of great importance, as these ingredients can only achieve their optimal support in the horse's body in combination with so-called cofactors. Arthro-Plus from LEXA Pferdefutter is doping-free and therefore also suitable for sport horses.

Nutrient Science for the Musculoskeletal System
Chondroitin sulfate is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan and a main component of cartilage tissue, and thus of great importance for the resilience of joints.
Glucosamine is the starting substance for glycosaminoglycans and therefore essential for cartilage function. Together with chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine can support the function and mobility of joints.
Hyaluronic acid is a central component for connective tissue, a component of synovial fluid (joint lubricant), and is important for increasing it.
Collagen is an important component of skin, connective tissue, as well as cartilage, tendons, and bones. It contributes to healthy and functional bones and articular cartilage.
Lysozyme is an enzyme and has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. It also supports the immune system.
Vitamins and trace elements such as manganese and zinc are important cofactors for the biosynthesis of the above-mentioned nutrients. Without their presence, for example, the synthesis of proteoglycans in the body cannot proceed completely.
Special properties of Arthro-Plus:

• Support for the musculoskeletal system (e.g., during the show season, increased training, during breaking in)
• the special combination of hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, and eggshell membrane has proven ideal for sensitive horses
• enriched with micronutrients
• Doping-free according to FN (ADMR status January 2019)

Arthro-Plus is ideally suited:

• as comprehensive support with joint nutrients
• for the musculoskeletal system
• for sport horses and older horses
