Sport horses are performance horses bred for specific work such as show jumping, dressage, endurance racing, and eventing. Such activities exert considerable pressure on their joints, tendons, ligaments, hooves and bones. Whether this means jumping over barriers, running long distances, or executing certain steps in the dressage ring, their bodies take a lot of punishment. Thus, it is not only important for a horse to have healthy legs to perform well, but also to live a long and healthy life.
For horse lovers, owners, and trainers, leg care is more than just standard practice, it is about preventing and addressing problems with every part of the leg, not just the joints. Welcome Precision Joint Solution’s “PJS” All-In-One Leg Solution, a new product that aims to solve multiple aspects of equine leg health at once.
The Anatomy of Equine Leg Health: More than Just Joints
The leg health of a horse is a union of a number of structures and all of them are significant in performance. It is so simple to concentrate on the joint, but in fact, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, hooves, and bones are all important parts that require support for a horse to perform well
Joints: These enable free movement and absorb most of the shocks during activity. Mentioned above, cartilage protection and joint lubrication is paramount.
Tendons and Ligaments: These link muscles to bones and support joints, so they give the necessary flexibility and power for horses’ movements.
Hooves: Sometimes referred to as the ‘keel’ of the horse, the hoof plays a critical role in the animal’s stability, the way it distributes its weight, and overall fitness.
Bones: Even the best muscles and tendons will not hold up without adequate support for bones.
Precision Joint Solution’s “All-In-One Leg Solution” tackles all of these important aspects. It is not a specific approach to treating the leg, but instead offers a complete package for the sport horse, where all structures will receive adequate care.
The Precision Behind Precision Joint Solution: Breaking Down the Formula
The main advantage of Precision Joint Solution is in its formulation of natural ingredients that are selected to meet the specific needs of equine athletes.
Arto-Velox™: This is a highly advanced enzyme combination that is at the center of the PJS formula. Arto-Velox™, by its synergistic action, accelerates the body’s normal inflammation cycle by degrading the excess fibrin that leads to pain, stiffness and slow healing. Arto-Velox™ also normalizes fibrin levels and reduces inflammation faster so horses can recover and get back into the field quickly.
Glucosamine and Chondroitin: These two well-known supplements are synergistic in their ability to promote joint cartilage health. Chondroitin inhibits enzymes that degrade cartilage and accelerate joint problems and recovery, while glucosamine promotes the synthesis of joint fluids and restores damaged cartilage.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA): HA plays the role of a shock absorber in the joints and also increases joint mobility. It is especially useful for sport horses as it aids in decreasing friction and wear when the horse is active.
Collagen: This protein is essential not only for the joint but for the connective tissue, tendon, and ligament. Collagen is important for providing the strength and elasticity required for horses in competitive sports activities.
With this approach, PJS does not only focus on joint health but on the overall leg support for comfort, recovery and performance.
The Role of Serrapeptase: A Natural Anti-Inflammatory for Horses
Another component that few people are aware of in Precision Joint Solution is Serrapeptase, an enzyme that is used to help dissolve non-living tissue, which is why it is highly effective in combating inflammation.
In horses, inflammation is a regular occurrence due to the stress from competition, training, and the aging process. If not treated, chronic inflammation can cause stiffness, pain, and permanent tissue damage. Most products are designed to cover up the pain, but Serrapeptase works on the core issue by decreasing fibrin formations and dissolving the unhealthy or dead tissues, thus providing quick recovery and fewer instances of pain.
Another advantage of Serrapeptase is its ability to work as an anti-inflammatory without the side effects of NSAIDs when used in the long term. Serrapeptase is a more natural supplement that helps the body to heal without negatively impacting performance.
Understanding the Synergy: How Each PJS Ingredient Operates
Not only does Precision Joint Solution contain healthy ingredients, but the way that it does so is even better. Arto-Velox™, for instance, shortens the inflammation cycle so that glucosamine and chondroitin can reconstruct joint tissues without the interference of inflammation. Hyaluronic Acid enhances flexibility so that after inflammation, the horse is able to move, and do so with minimal discomfort. The end product is not only the alleviation of symptoms, but rehabilitation and optimization of performance.
These ingredients also make PJS suitable for preventive use because of their synergistic effects. In so doing, Precision Joint Solution assists in maintaining overall leg health and preventing a wear and tear that is common in aging and competitive horses.
