Benefits of EquiFlex
Glucosamine is the major natural building block of cartilage and hyaluronic acid - the dominant ingredient in joint fluid.
Glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate up-regulate the repair of articular cartilage. This aids in the
maintenance of normal joint integrity when challenged by the rigors of training and competition.
Glucosamine appears to be the dominant chondroprotective agent as its oral availability is excellent with significant amounts of compound being incorporated into the cartilage matrix.
