COSEQUIN EQUINE POWDER
Nutramax
Equine Cosequin
#1 Veterinarian Recommended Product!
From yearlings to 20-year-old stallions, and in every discipline from Dressage to Cutting Horses, Cosequin® success stories continue to pour in. Regardless of age, breed or discipline, the stress of training and competition causes wear and tear to articular cartilage, eventually compromising optimal joint function and dramatically affecting the performance of the equine athlete.
Cosequin plays an important role in maintaining optimal joint function. The superior quality ingredients in our patented formula provide the raw materials that are essential for the synthesis of synovial fluid and the major components of articular cartilage matrix. The synergistic effect of each ingredient performing its primary function concurrently is what makes Cosequin unique and the only true broad-spectrum cartilage matrix enhancer.
Unlike steroids and some NSAID's which can damage the cartilage matrix, Cosequin is not a drug; it is a true nutraceutical with unparalleled safety. Nothing comes close to matching the confidence and reliability of the clean, patented formulation that has helped make Cosequin an industry leader.

Manganese (as Ascorbate) 16 mg
Joints and Articular Cartilage
The performance and mobility of your horse is dramatically affected by how well his joints function. While physical conditioning can strengthen muscles, bones, and tendons, the tremendous forces exerted on the skeletal joints (fetlock, knee, stifle and hock) during training and competition causes wear and tear to the joint cartilage. Articular cartilage is critical to joint utility. Immersed in synovial fluid, articular cartilage provides a smooth, low friction surface between bone ends, and transmits load forces to the underlying bones.
Why Equine Cosequin ?
One of the remarkable functions of articular cartilage is its ability to replenish its major components in response to the mechanical forces placed on it. Cartilage replenishes itself by manufacturing huge amounts of collagen and proteoglycans. Collagen, a tough, ropy protein that connects the tissues, provides the tensile strength of cartilage. The water-structuring properties of proteoglycans provide the compressive resilience. The continuous synthesizing process of cartilage replenishment generates extremely large demands for the building blocks of collagen and proteoglycans. If the raw materials (nutrients) for these building blocks are not available in the amounts required, the synthesizing process is impaired and the cartilage cannot replenish itself.
Equine Cosequin provides these raw materials. Cosequin is a patented combination of dietary ingredients of unparralleled purity and each has its own primary function in connective tissues synthesis.
Glucosamine HCI - In addition to being the main substrate for the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans and hyaluronic acid, the primary function of glucosamine is to stimulate the secretion of glycosaminoglycans in the articular cartilage.
Chondroitin Sulfate - In addition to being the major glycosaminoglycans found in cartilage, its primary function is to inhibit degradative enzymes. Degradative enzymes contribute to cartilage breakdown.
Manganese - A necessary cofactor in the body for the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans.
Ascorbate - It is a necessary cofactor in the body for collagen biosynthesis.
The synergistic effect of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate performing their primary functions concurrently, using manganese and ascorbate as cofactors, is what makes Equine Cosequin unique and the only product of its kind. This overall matrix enhancement will make Equine Cosequin more economical to use the longer an animal is on the product.
The ingredients in Cosequin are of unparalleled purity. A multiple-step purification process ensures maximum ingredient integrity.
What can I expect using Equine Cosequin?
Since Equine Cosequin provides nutrients that affect the structure and function of the joint, changes may occur gradually. You should notice changes in three to four weeks in most candidates. Some horses may take five to six weeks to exhibit noticeable changes.
The initial administration period is 4 to 6 weeks, however recent studies using Equine Cosequin have shown an early response, in most horses, by 2 weeks. The reponse usually improves if the initial amount is continued for an additional 4 weeks. If a horse shows little or no response after 30 days, extend initial amount for two more weeks.
Equine Cosequin Initial Administration
Average Horse - 3 level scoops AM & PM
Horses over 1,200 lb. - 4 level scoops AM & PM
