Chondroitin or Glucosamine? Both? or Cortaflex?

Chondroitin and Glucosamine are widely believed to stimulate the joint cells to produce better quality joint fluid (synovial fluid, which acts as a cushion), and to trigger the cartilage matrix to help prevent damage to the joints.

Cortaflex is an effective joint supplement because it contains the key refined, pharmaceutical-grade isolates of Chondroitin and Glucosamine. These smaller molecules are easily absorbed into the bloodstream, where they filter through the capillaries to their intended destination – the joints!

Once the key isolates are present in the joints, they trigger the body to produce its own natural Chondroitin and Glucosamine. How Cortaflex Works

Cortaflex provides both the stimulus and building blocks for natural joint health – that is the Cortaflex difference ! Cortaflex has been clinically proven in the equine world to improve joint function.

How is Cortaflex different from other Glucosamine and Chondroitin products ?

Cortaflex is beyond Glucosamine and Chondroitin!

Molecules of Glucosamine and Chondroitin, even in their purest form, are simply too large to travel efficiently to the soft tissues of the joint. Instead of loading Cortaflex with thousands of milligrams of Glucosamine and Chondroitin, we have specially formulated our product using their key isolates: Glutamine, Glutamic Acid, Glucuronic Acid, Glycine, Proline

The unique formulation of Cortaflex allows these building blocks, assisted by Sulphur, to be more readily absorbed by the body. How Cortaflex Works. We only use pharmaceutical grade ingredients in Cortaflex, so you are assured of getting a safe, natural, quality product.

What is Hyaluronic Acid?

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a major component of joint lubricating fluid, essential for absorbing concussion and providing cartilage with nutrients and lubrication for movement.

There are 3 versions of Cortaflex - Human, Canine and Feline, and Equine. What is the difference? Can I give Equine Cortaflex to my dog?

There are fundamental differences in the formulation of the three versions.

Horses require different nutrients than dogs or humans, for example equine Cortaflex contains copper at levels which are beneficial to horses but not recommended for dogs.

Aside from having unique combinations of nutrients, the three versions of Cortaflex are also blended to be palatable to the species for which it was intended! Human Cortaflex is in capsule form; the Canine & Feline Cortaflex is beef and liver flavoured; the Equine Cortaflex is alfalfa-based.
