Ester CŪ is a buffered form of vitamin C that is "body ready" and 4 times more available to the tissues than ordinary vitamin C, which is highly acidic. In Ester CŪ, the acid is buffered with calcium and processed to contain threonate, a metabolite which dramatically enhances absorption. Although horses can manufacture vitamin C in their bodies under ordinary conditions, stresses such as heavy exercise, injuries or respiratory problems increase the demand for C. An important component of collagen or connective tissue, Ester CŪ functions as a chondroprotective, anti-inflammatory and immunoresponsive substance. Ester CŪ is the "king" of vitamin C products!
Gelatin provides an excellent source of the proteins and nutrients needed for formation of collagen and connective tissues. Specifically, gelatin contains mucopolysaccharides and the amino acid proline, which regenerate tissue on a cellular level and support collagen.
Calcium carbonate (heptahydrate) acts as a buffer for acid in the animal's system. Our calcium source is actually calcium heptahydrate or geyser exudate, and contains a full spectrum of completely unrefined natural minerals in addition to calcium.
Chondroitin is also produced in cartilage. It is important for bone integrity and has an anti-inflammatory effect, as well as preventing,, destructive enzymes From breaking down joint tissue and hyaluronic acid. MPS's contribute to elasticity of blood vessels, and chondroitin negatively charges blood platelets and cells which prevents clumping and clotting in the arteries. This response is of major assistance to race horses and others under competitive stress. MPS's have also been discovered to have growth stimulating effects, to improve movement of white blood cells, and to increase resistance to viral and bacterial infection.
Hyaluronic Acid is produced in a normal, healthy cartilage matrix in the joints. Oral supplementation assists tile body in production of this important lubricating fluid, which is one of the GAG'S. Hyaluronic acid is necessary for the production of healthy synovial (Joint) fluid.
Glucosamine is a precursor molecule for chondroitin and other mucopolysaccharides MPS's or glycosaminoglycans (GAG's). These modified sugar chain substances react with collagen and elastin to maintain the structure of joints, arteries, heart, brain, skin and other tissues, and they are the basis of cartilage as well. So, GAG's and MPS's maintain the elastic or gel nature of tissues. Glucosamine is also a precursor for hyaluronic acid, making up 50% of the acid.
Sulfur is a mineral important to the synthesis of collagen and elastin, and contributes to the flexibility of cells. This flexibility allows toxins and fluids to pass through, alleviating pressure build-up and inflammation in joints. Sulfur is the fourth most plentiful mineral in the body, and is highly volatile in feeds, so dogs benefit dramatically from bioavailable sulfur supplementation.
Yucca contains high concentrations of steroid saponins, which are similar to cortisone, without the side effects. Research has correlated the development of arthritis to toxic wastes in the colon, and yucca has shown impressive results in the preventing the formation of these toxins.
Una de Gato or Cat's Claw is a powerful Amazon botanical that has been revered as an anti-inflammatory substance and antioxidant for generations. Modern research has isolated a number of organic compounds called alkyloids which assist the body in disposing of harmful microorganisms and cellular debris and inhibiting platelet aggregation. In vitro studies prove Cat's Claw to be a powerful antioxidant, scavenging the free radicals (by -products of exercise and cellular metabolism) that contribute to degenerative disease including arthritis.
Aloe Vera is also called "medicine plant" for its' soothing properties internally and externally. Aloe is high in vitamin C, amino acids, enzymes, and contains potassium, calcium, sodium, manganese, magnesium, silicon, iron, lithium and copper. A great digestive aid, aloe is healing to the stomach and beneficial for ulcers as well.
Amino Acid Chelates of Zinc, Manganese and Copper are important in the body's production of superoxide dismutase. SOD is an enzyme essential for proper functioning of the immune system and for the prevention of free radical formation. Extensive research has proven the benefits of SOD in relief of arthritic conditions. Manganese and copper in particular are essential for the production of GAG's and collagen formation. Dynamite's amino acid chelated minerals are patented formulations which are proven to have superior absorption over the proteinate, oxide or sulfate forms. Chelation also protects minerals from negative interaction with other nutrients.
Directions, Hints and Other Cool Stuff:
Therapeutic Use ............................10# and under - 1 scoop (1/4 tsp) per 3#
over 10# - 1 scoop per 6#
Maintenance Use...........................10# and under - 1 scoop (1/4 tsp) per 5#
over 10# - 1 scoop per 9#- We use pure enzyme-extracted forms of chondroitin and glucosamine, instead of the sulfate (extracted with sulfuric acid) or hydrochloride (extracted with muriatic acid) forms used by other companies.
- Jim's intention in creating this product: it must be a holistic formulation; it must cause no harm; it must remove toxins and free radicals.
- L. Phillips Brown, DVM, Intercal Research Veterinarian, says "Dynamite's Free and Easy is the most synergistic joint formulation on the market."
- Paul R. Bruton, DVM, says " In my 15 years of practice, I've used Cosequin, Synoflex, Arthroflex, FlexFree (and many other 'flexes'), Adequan and Legend. None compares cost wise or gives as consistently good results as Dynamite's Free and Easy".
- Ask your Distributor to give you our articles on the Free and Easy Formulas! "Well we love Showdown and Free & Easy here. All the dogs are on Showdown and the two older ones on Free & Easy, which is an amazing supplement! My oldest dog (Bearded Collie) is a little over 12 and she's been stiff especially in cold weather for a couple of years before Dynamite. Not anymore! She is just as agile as a young dog, and is the last one to quit running and playing. When she is naughty I threaten that I will take away her Free & Easy, but she knows I'm just kidding... :-)" Charlotte Laning, WI
- For best results, feed with Dynamite Showdown supplement and Dynamite Dog Food. Avoid preservatives in any food. Your Dynamite Distributor can provide you with wholesale pricing and Distributorship information!
- "I have to tell you.... I've been giving my dogs Natrol brand MSM/glucosamine for years. They are on a mixture of about 75% Flint River Ranch Dry Water food and a little Dynamite kibble thrown in. My golden is 13 and really looks great.. very shiny coat...perfect weight...and comfortable enough that he goes up and down 25 stairs about 6 times a day...and jumps up on the bed. He has a little bit of a weakness in one hip...but really it doesn't seem to bother him much.
I switched them off of the Natrol and on to the Free & Easy.....not really expecting to notice anything. Well....it's been about 3 weeks..maybe a month....and there has been a REMARKABLE difference....even Tom commented on it. Hunter is acting like he's 4-5 years old again. I just can't get over it..."
