PREMIERflex plus description
PREMIER FLEX Plus is a very high spec equine joint supplement that has been formulated to include the very best ingredients that a horse owner can buy in a modern equine joint supplement. Not only does it include high levels of the essential ingredients Glucosamine HCL, MSM and Omega 3 oils we have also included the very expensive ingredients Chondroitin Sulphate and Hyaluronic Acid (HA) which are the latest innovations in joint supplements and work in synergy with the above.
PREMIER FLEX Plus contains exactly the same levels of glucosamine HCL, Chondroitin Sulphate, MSM and Hyaluronic acid (HA) as Premier Flex HA but Premier Flex Plus also contains high levels of Devils Claw Extract, a natural ingredient which supports the body's own natural anti-inflammatory response.
The best joint supplements for horses work by helping cartilage composition and the production of synovial fluid over a continuous period of time. Most horse joint supplements do not contain high levels of glucosamine, chondroitin, HA and MSM PLUS a high level of Devils Claw. Premier Flex Plus is much stronger than the types of joint supplements that are available in tack shops and it on a different level to herbal only products that are based on cold liver oil or green lipped mussel extract.
PREMIER FLEX Plus is fast acting and results are normally seen in a matter of days.
How Does Premier Flex Plus Work?
Glucosamine HCL
Glucosamine is an amino sugar used to build tendons, ligaments, cartilage and synovial fluid (joint oil). It stimulates production of GAG’s (glucosaminoglycans) in synovial fluid to enhance lubrication. In addition to being a lubricant this fluid acts as a shock absorber cushioning the joint during exercise. Pain and stiffness occur when the fluid becomes thinner due to age, hard work or disease. After being consumed Glucosamine is absorbed through the wall of the intestine into the body. It is then attracted to the joint cells where it provides the raw material to build up synovial fluid. Premier Flex HA uses super strength Glucosamine HCL, the very best glucosamine (40% more glucosamine than standard glucosamine).
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
Hyaluronic Acid is the latest advance in joint supplements. Hyaluronic acid (known as HA) is a component of synovial fluid whose function is to cushion and lubricate the joint. Combined with Glucosamine, Chrondroitin and MSM this group of nutraceuticals “..provides significant lubrication to the synovial membrane that is responsible for dissipating more than 50% of the friction within the joint” - J. Black, DVM, Senior Partner, Pioneer Equine Hospital, California. HA is very expensive and as such most companies do not include it in their joint supplement. Hyaluronic Acid is a very important ingredient in joint supplements, previously it would be injected into the joint but with a high spec joint such as Premier Flex HA it can now be provided in oral form.
Chondroitin Sulphate
Most bones end in cartilage, a plastic like material which lines the joints preventing bones grating against each other. If this lining wears out the joint becomes stiff and uncomfortable. Chondroitin is chemically similar to glucosamine and is a constituent of cartilage. Chondroitin sulphate works in synergy with glucosamine and HA to help maintain cartilage composition. Chondroitin is also very expensive and often left out of other products or added in only minute quantities.
MSM
MSM is a rich source of organic sulphur and crucial as a building block for joints, tendons, cartilage and ligaments. It is essential for all connective tissue and is often fed on its own in horses and humans. Combining MSM with glucosamine, chondroitin and HA again has a synergistic effect and no high spec equine joint supplement should be without MSM.
Omega 3
Omega 3 is present in Premier Flex HA in high amounts and this is derived from micronized linseed. Through its digestion the source is broken down into EPA and DHA Omega 3 fatty acids. These are very healthy fatty acids and help lubricate joints and facilitate the movement of synovial fluid in the joint.
Methionine and Lysine
These two ingredients are both amino acids that help with the natural production of MSM.
Vit C and Vit E
Two powerful anti-oxidants that play a key role in neutralising free radicals thereby helping boost the immune system. Vitamin C also helps collagen production and joint problems can occur when there is a lack of collagen in the joints.
Devils Claw
Premier Flex Plus contains a high level of Devils Claw Extract which is a powerful ingredient that supports the body's anti-inflammatory response. Using an extract of devils claw ensures the correct level of harpagoside which is the active ingredient in Devils Claw. Harpagoside is so powerful it is now prohibited in British Horse racing as its effects have been comparable to Bute. This high level of Devils Claw makes Premier Flex Plus a very strong joint supplement and not recommended for younger horses that do not have diagnosed issues.
Please note Devils Claw (Harpagoside) is a now controlled substance with both the BHA and FEI, this means it must be withdrawn before competing. The BHA recommend a 48 hour withdrawal period before competition.
CAUTION: Do not feed Premier Flex Plus to pregnant mares.

Customer Reviews





I wasn't sure this was doing anything until I ran out! Absolutely amazing effect on my teenage draft horse with advanced ringbone and sidebone. I've used devil's claw as a separate supplement without this effect so it is definitely the combination of ingredients.





Amazing, our very stiff mare is now moving like a youngster!





Premierflex plus... Used for a few months now and could not be more happy with how its transformed my 19 yo who has ring and side bone.. It's like we've gone back in time to our coming together when he was a 4 yo Spreading out the Danalon now to see if we can come off it or at least only use minimally ??





I feed Premier Flex Plus since some years now to my 19yrs old trotter, he has bad arthritis since young age. I really think that thanks to Premier Flex Plus my horse is in great shape and he moves like a youngster. Osteopath thinks that he is really subtle for his age and also the vet had a look at the ingredients and thinks its a good product. I recommend this product, price is very fair as well compared to others on the market (in France)





A really good product used on a 21 year old cob with low ringbone...who now thinks he is six again...vet has just looked at him said he has never seen he look so well or move so well....will be order more....Thank you so much ??





The Premier Flex Plus has been amazing for my 21 year old Warmblood. He has arthritis in his pasterns and hind fetlocks and as I used to pick out his feet they always clicked and now they don't !! I'm also able to keep him 100% fit and we still compete.
