Regardless of age, breed or discipline, the stress of training and
competition causes wear and tear to articular cartilage, eventually compromising
optimal joint function and dramatically affecting the performance of the equine
athlete.
Cosequin plays an important role in maintaining optimal joint function. The
superior quality ingredients in our patented formula provide the raw materials
that are essential for the synthesis of synovial fluid and the major components
of articular cartilage matrix. The synergistic effect of each ingredient
performing its primary function concurrently is what makes Cosequin unique and
the only true broad-spectrum cartilage matrix enhancer.
Unlike steroids and some NSAID's which can damage the cartilage matrix,
Cosequin is not a drug; it is a true nutraceutical with unparalleled safety.
Nothing comes close to matching the confidence and reliability of the clean,
patented formulation that has helped make Cosequin an industry leader.
Active Ingredients:
Glucosamime HCL 99+%, sodium chondroitin sulfate 95%, mixed
glycosaminoglycans 59%, ascorbate and manganese.
Usage:

stimulates production of lubricating fluids in articular cartilage, tendons and
ligaments.
Initial Administration:
Average Horse - 3 level scoops AM & PM
Horses over 1,200 lb. - 4 level scoops AM & PM
Overly large horses (warmbloods, draft breeds) may need 4 or 5 scoops AM & PM
Transition Period:
Do not lower amount until horse has begun to respond. After achieving a good
response, reduce total daily amount by one level scoop each week. Gradually
reducing the amount will help find an individual maintenance level. Watch the
animal's movement and attitude to ensure that it is feeling comfortable through
each weekly transition.
Suggested Maintenance Administration:
Average Horse - 1 level scoop AM & PM
Horses over 1,200 lb. - 2 level scoops AM & PM
Amount can be increased at any time to maintain desired comfort level. Two or
three days prior to heavy workouts or competition, boost daily dosage back up to
initial loading dose. Continue this level for two to three days after
competition, then return to regular maintenance level.
