FLEX by GOLDMEDICS / FLEX

INTENSIVE CARE

PLATINUM

User feedback says it all: “Finally, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for.”

FLEX by GOLDMEDICS and FLEX PLATINUM support the musculoskeletal system on two levels:

At the level of the chondrocytes:
Chondrocytes are responsible for the continuous breakdown and rebuilding of cartilage, a natural and necessary process. Under normal circumstances, breakdown and synthesis are in balance. Research has shown that certain nutrients can positively influence this balance.

Repair and protection:
FLEX contains essential components that help repair damage. The cartilage produces higher-quality, more viscous synovial fluid, resulting in improved shock absorption and lubrication. This helps the horse move more smoothly.
FLEX can also be used preventively to support healthy tendons and joints, especially in sport horses.

For horses, it is best to follow the dosage according to the schedule below.

If cartilage repair support is required, a course of at least 12 weeks is recommended.

If your horse also seems “off”, has a dull coat, or shows less vitality, it can be beneficial to combine FLEX with a course of CLEAR GOLD Strong.
This enhances the overall effect of FLEX.

Excellent results have also been seen in cases of laminitis.
Several horses treated with FLEX PLATINUM showed clear improvement.
It is believed that a mechanism similar to the stimulation of chondrocytes in cartilage is activated, but in the hoof instead.

If your horse shows pain in addition to requiring joint support, it is recommended to combine FLEX with DOLO-LESS GOLD, a supplement that helps relieve discomfort.

Only ingredients with scientifically proven effects and visible practical results are included in FLEX:

The most active form of Glucosamine

• This unique form is highly bioavailable and directly usable, unlike traditional glucosamine, which gives inconsistent results.

• Helps relieve pain, swelling, and stiffness.

• Building block of hyaluronic acid and essential for the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans, which are required for bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissues.

Sodium Hyaluronate

• Functions as a shock absorber and lubricant within the joint.

• Stimulates the synthesis of proteoglycans, the key factor responsible for cartilage elasticity.

• The molecular weight used is carefully selected to ensure better absorption and effective migration into the joint.

Collagen Peptides (2 types)

• Cartilage consists of roughly 70% collagen.

• Studies with collagen peptides show improved elasticity and vitality of cartilage.

• Support the increased nutrient demand during heavy workload and growth phases.

• Human studies show significant improvement after 3 months of supplementation compared to placebo.
  Ex-vivo research on canine chondrocytes confirmed the same mechanism (reduced breakdown, increased regeneration).

GoldBiotics®

• A patented blend of prebiotics and postbiotics, enriched with a gut-lining protector.

• GOLDMEDICS demonstrated the unique impact of this complex on gut flora.

• The gut microbiome is directly connected to the musculoskeletal system.
  Research confirmed this by transplanting gut flora from arthritic animals into healthy ones, which then developed arthritis as well.

• FLEX contains a lighter form of GOLDBIOTICS® ICU EQUINE.

Bamboo Extract

• Contains the highest natural silica content of all plants.

• Silica supports bone mineralization, collagen and hyaluronic acid synthesis, and strengthens the immune system.

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)

• Reduces oxidative stress and soothes inflammation.

• An essential organic sulfur compound required for hormones, enzymes, proteins, and the structure of cartilage, skin, and hair.

• Sulfur is a key component of collagen, which is found in joints, tendons, and ligaments.

 FLEX also has beneficial side effects on coat quality and hoof condition.

FLEX PLATINUM contains everything found in FLEX by GOLDMEDICS , plus several powerful enhancers:

Curcumin

• Present in an exceptionally bioavailable form.

• A potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound.

• Important note: curcumin is the pure active compound — while the turmeric root itself only contains 0.6–5% curcumin.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids (EPA and DHA)

• Placebo-controlled studies demonstrate beneficial effects on osteoarthritis, improved mobility, and reduced use of NSAIDs.

Boswellia Extract

• A specialized extract with a high content of AKBBA (3-acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid): the most potent boswellic acid.

• Studies show that these extracts have anti-inflammatory properties and improve joint health.

Available packaging:

• FLEX by GOLDMEDICS : 1 L and 5 L

• FLEX PLATINUM: 1 L and 5 L (economy size)

Recommended dosage:

• Horses: 50 ml per day

• For acute or intensive support, your veterinarian may temporarily recommend a higher dosage.

• For cartilage regeneration: continuous use for at least 12 weeks is advised.

Research on osteoarthritis and gut microbiota shows that a healthier gut flora results in:

• Fewer inflammatory reactions

• Improved joint function

• Reduced cartilage degradation

GOLDMEDICS translated these findings into GOLDBIOTICS® ICU EQUINE., which increases the production of short-chain fatty acids in the gut by more than 60%.

👉 Combining the FLEX range with GOLDBIOTICS® ICU EQUINE. is therefore strongly recommended.
