The Phycox family of products are recommended for horses that can benefit from a superior joint support formula and a patented* extract of blue-green algae to help reduce inflammation and discomfort due to normal daily activity. Phycox Equine Granules contain our revolutionary and patented* ingredient Phycox together with proven joint supplements glucosamine and methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) blended with potent anti-oxidants and omega-3 fatty acids. Phycox is natural phycocyanin, extracted from blue-green algae. Phycocyanin has been found to be a completely selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which therefore makes it not only a potent anti-inflammatory but also free from the side effects caused by drugs that inhibit COX-1. COX-1 is found in all cells of the body; it produces protective prostaglandins in the kidney and stomach and is important in blood clotting. Drugs such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), which generally inhibit both COX-1 and COX-2, therefore cause potentially fatal side effects such as gastrointestinal ulceration and coagulation disorders. Phycox is completely free from these side effects and so can be given safely to horses of all ages, whether they are healthy or have other concurrent medical issues. Phycox can also be given in addition to regular NSAIDs because studies have shown that there are no drug interactions
