Cosequin® ASU Plus
Cosequin® ASU Plus is a supplement specially formulated for those horses that need extra help with joint lubrication and arthritis stiffness. It works just as well for senior horses as it does those young ones in training. The added natural extracts help prevent damage to effected areas, and it comes in a tasty powder that mixes easily into your horse's feed.
Cosequin® ASU Plus contains the same ingredients as Cosequin® ASU, with the addition of HA and Green Tea Extract. HA (Hyaluronic Acid) is an agent found naturally in the body that helps lubricate the joints, while Green Tea Extract is an antioxidant that protects the body from the damaging effects of free radicals. Cell culture research shows that these agents together inhibit many mediators that contribute to the breakdown of cartilage. New cutting-edge scientific data shows that this combination of agents 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.
