Current research suggests glucosamine plays several roles within joints. Not only does it lead to the production of new GAGs and therefore new cartilage, glucosamine has also been shown to inhibit the free radicals and enzymes that break down cartilage. This small but complex molecule has an important role in both the production and protection of joints.  For more information visit our page on\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.smartpakequine.com\/trends\/glucosamine-for-horses?intclick=trendsglucosforhorses\u0026amp;from=ingredientglossary\"\u003eGlucosamine for Horses\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.7969%; height: 19.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-bind=\"text: ingredientName\"\u003eHyaluronic Acid (HA)\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eis an integral component of joint cartilage and joint fluid, providing both lubrication and shock absorption.
