The use of glucosamine in equine diets over the long term may help to improve joint health and function. KER GLUCOS-A-FLEX contains a blend of glucosamine hydrochloride (HCL), vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants . KER GLUCOS-A-FLEX contains 10 grams of glucosamine hydrochloride per 30-gram dose.<\/p>\n
KER GLUCOS-A-FLEX also contains the essential amino acid methionine plus calcium and vitamin C as well as the trace minerals copper, zinc and manganese to supplement diets where levels may be low.<\/p>\n
Methionine is an important amino acid and supplementation may assist to cover the shortfalls in methionine-deficient diets. Copper has a role in iron metabolism, bone development, and maintenance of elastic connective tissue whilst manganese has a role in general metabolism, development of bone, cartilage and connective tissue, and zinc in general growth and metabolism. Zinc is also required for normal bone and cartilage development and is involved in maintaining the integrity of skin and mucous membranes, coat and hooves, and in wound healing.
