Cosequin ASU Plus
Advanced Joint Health Support With Hyaluronic Acid & Green Tea Extract
Nutramax Cosequin ASU Plus is a veterinary strength, broad spectrum formula for horses offering comprehensive, multi-faceted joint health management. Cosequin ASU Plus combines Nutramaxx's proprietary glucosamine hydrochloride and low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate with an innovative supplement agent, ASU (avocado/soybean unsaponifiables), MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) - PLUS high quality hyaluronic acid (HA) and Green Tea Extract. Nutramax Laboratories has reinvented the science of equine joint health with its product, Cosequin ASU Plus.
Research shows that the combination of ASU plus glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate performs superior to the combination of
glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate alone. Cosequin ASU Plus is a dual synergistic formula with glucosamine interacting synergistically with both chondroitin sulfate and ASU. MSM is included as it is a source of sulfur, a compound used by cartilage.
The science behind Cosequin ASU is a major factor differentiating it from the competition. The inclusion of ASU with glucosamine and low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate sets this product apart from other joint health supplements and establishes a new benchmark of joint health support. Additionally, MSM is included at 10,000 mg/day for an average sized horse. Practicing veterinarians and their clients' horses will both benefit from Cosequin ASU Plus.
Cosequin ASU Plus contains the same ingredients as Cosequin ASU with addition of HA and Green Tea Extract. HA is an ingredient that helps lubricate the joints. Green Tea Extract is an antioxidant that protects the body from the effects of free radicals. Cell culture research shows that these ingredients together inhibit many mediators that contribute to the breakdown of cartilage. New cutting edge cell culture data shows that this combination of ingredients even inhibits NF-kappaB, a mediator that helps "turn on" the other mediators and so starts the process resulting in cartilage breakdown and less joint comfort. Cosaquin ASU Plus truly is an advanced formula providing comprehensive joint health support.
