Technyflex® Equine is derived from the New Zealand Greenlipped™ Mussel powder.
Our Products contain natural Glucosamine, Chondroitin sulphate (Glycosaminoglycans/Mucopolysaccharides). Glycosaminoglycans play an important part of rebuilding cartilage and connective tissue and they also inhibit wear and tear in joints.
We have continued to use our proprietary processing technique on our New Zealand Greenlipped™ Mussel extract to obtain higher yields of EFA's, Essential Fatty acids, known as Omega 3 and 6. These consist of ETA's Eicosatetraenoic acid, EPA's Eicosapentaenoic acid and DHA's Docosahexaenoic acid. These 3 characteristics also help in assisting the horses' well being.
ETA's have recently been characterised to exert a natural anti-inflammatory response (refer to technical data below).
Technyflex® Equine provides a natural alternative and is effective in many Musculo-skeletal conditions affecting the back, neck hock, fetlock, knee and low-grade chronic lameness. Technyflex® Equine is throughout the Equestrian and horse racing industry in Australia, NZ, Singapore and Hong Kong Turf Club. Technyflex® Equine works well for Horses exposed to hot/humid or Cold conditions all year round.

By utilising the safe and beneficial COX-1 pathway, Omega-3's (ETA, EPA & DHA) inhibit and in effect block the inflammation pathways known as COX-2 and LIPOX-5.

EPA's assists with skin condition, which has been known to support skin permeability, condition and tone. EPA's in our product have been known to assist with Queensland itch (Australia) and provides a true sign that the product is working effectively as the coat of the horse will show a nice shine and also a healthy look, especially if your horse shows signs of a dull or patchy coat.
DHA is known to assist with the general well being. In hot or humid places such as Queensland Australia it helps to regulate body temperature with signs of horses' being able to work under pressure easier and is not so scratchy.
Our product also has been known to assist with Big head or Queensland head. This may be because of regulation of cell
division and maybe known to assist with other Biological functions of Eicosanoids such as:
- Regulation of the immune system

Technyflex® Equine Powder is magic on the horses. Choppy short actions become smooth and the horses quite obviously more comfortable and relaxed. The service at Natural Health New Zealand was fantastic- fast and efficient! I am now starting myself on the human product- Mobicosa®.
- Anon from New Zealand on 5/6/08; 10:03:45 I have used Techyflex® products on my Standardbreds for the past 6 months. I find Technyflex® powder is beneficial for maintaining horses joints, and I noticed definate improvement in the horses health and wellbeing whilst using this product.
I have no hesitation in recommending Technyflex® Equine products.
- Susan Hunter from Victoria Australia on 12/5/08; 11:13:14 I use and thoroughly recommend Technyflex® Equine. The care this product has provided for Nic's joints and mobility has ensured he is always competitive and performing at his best at elite level (showjumping). For healthy joints now and in the future, and those experiencing soundness problems. I suggest you try this wonderful product and it's associated benefits.
- Paul Athanasoff from NSW Australia on 12/5/08; 10:59:16 As an Equine Veterinarian I have a number of clients using the Technyflex® product consistantly on their horses with great results in their chosen athletic field. I believe Technyflex® works as well with horses and dogs as the Mobicosa® product has with me. This is based on assessing their movement and demeanour.
Mobicosa® is the human equivalent product, and from the first day of taking Mobicosa® I noticed significant decrease in pain in my left knee. The functionality with Mobicosa® has surpassed any other nutriceutical I have tried and equals or surpasses any prescribed arthritic anti-inflammatory I have tried and without the gastric side effects!
