Cortaflex HA has been specially formulated for horses with joints that have experienced excessive wear and tear, and for horses which are competing, or in hard work. Equine America Cortaflex Solution contains Hyaluronic Acid (HA) which is a major component of synovial fluid, which is essential for providing the joints with lubrication and the cartilage with nutrients. HA has traditionally been derived from type II Collagen sourced from Rooster Comb, which has a high molecular weight of up to six million Daltons. This form of HA has been shown to be very effective when injected but is not considered to achieve a good rate of absorption when taking orally due to the large molecular size. The Hyaluronic Acid used in Cortaflex is of vegetable origin and has a molecular weight of less then 50,000 Daltons. It is believed that this is more readily absorbed, providing Hyaluronic Acid to the joints in a non-invasive way.
