Details
We recommend the TRI-ACTA H.A. formula for horses that are ageing, experiencing arthritis and stiffness, are in training and competition, or under a heavy workload. It is also an ideal solution to maximize effective training days and competitive outcomes.
Built off the success and science-driven formula of TRI-ACTA Regular Strength, our Maximum Strength formula provides your horse with the added support of a highly therapeutic, equine-specific hyaluronic acid.
TRI-ACTA H.A. contains the highest, all-active key ingredient formulation on the market. This formula uses two types of glucosamine for cartilage regeneration (glucosamine hydrochloride for bioavailability, and glucosamine sulfate to promote the formation of collagen). It also contains chondroitin sulphate – which works synergistically with glucosamine to prevent the breakdown of cartilage and MSM which is a powerful antioxidant and reduces inflammation. The inclusion of hyaluronic acid helps lubricate articulating joints, thereby minimizing friction and enhancing resistance to shock in weight-bearing joints. TRI-ACTA H.A. delivers unmatched quality, efficacy and therapeutic value.
Because the product is pure and concentrated, the servings are small and easy to administer. Our 22g daily serving of TRI-ACTA H.A. provides your competitive equine partner with the optimal therapeutic dose of key, all-active ingredients necessary to promote and maintain optimal joint health while mitigating joint degeneration.

Ingredients
Glucosamine
Glucosamine acts to repair cartilage by contributing the necessary building blocks to its formation. Glucosamine is necessary for the production of substance called glycosaminoglycans which combines with hyaluronic acid to create proteoglycans. Proteoglycans and collagen are the main components of cartilage.
- Glucosamine hydrochloride: Glucosamine HCl is a highly bioavailable form of glucosamine. This means it is absorbs readily and is extremely efficient. This is attributed to the fact that it is naturally stable and does not require sodium chloride (an extra ion) to stabilize it. This means it is a slightly more pure form and effective in delivering glucosamine to the body.
- Glucosamine sulfate: While providing additional support for cartilage repair within the joint matrix, glucosamine sulphate also contributes to the production of collagen within the body. Collagen is one of the three components that make up cartilage and is extremely important in joint health.
These properties help maintain stride length, mobility and overall performance while also supporting the joint capsule as it absorbs and dissipates shock and impact.
Chondroitin Sulfate
Chondroitin is also necessary for the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans. But more importantly it inhibits and neutralizes destructive enzymes in the joint. In doing this, chondroitin acts to prevent the breakdown of cartilage.
When injury or abnormal wear occurs, there is an increased presence of destructive enzymes and cartilage deterioration is accelerated. This increases the importance of supplementing to improve overall dietary completeness.
Studies show that supplementing glucosamine and chondroitin together enhance the efficacy of both components individually. This synergistic effect when pairing chondroitin with glucosamine provides the added benefit of further supporting, strengthening and repairing cartilage.
MSM
MSM is an organic sulfur-containing compound found naturally in plants and animals. It is a powerful antioxidant and provides whole-body pain and inflammatory relief.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is present in every cell of the body. The molecular weight of hyaluronic acid in the equine body is specific to the equidae family of animals. It is important that oral supplementation closely resembles the molecular structure of what is produced at the cellular level.
Within the joint, hyaluronic acid works to increase the supply and viscosity of synovial fluid. A main precursor to joint degeneration and arthritis is a lack of synovial fluid to properly encapsulate and lubricate the joint. When the joint lacks proper lubrication, friction between cartilage and bone occurs, leading to pain, inflammation and decreased resistance to compressive forces. By supplementing daily with hyaluronic acid, the synovial fluid within the joint capsule is replenished. As a result, the joint structure remains lubricated promoting fluidity of movement and optimal performance.
