HycoFlex Supplement
HycoFlex Ultra is a complete joint-support supplement designed to reduce inflammation and support healthy movement in horses of all ages. Its formula is built around Hylagen, a unique bioactive blend of collagen and hyaluronic acid that helps nourish joint cartilage, support elasticity, and aid in the natural lubrication of the joints.
This supplement helps support the musculoskeletal system, joint and muscle tissue health, post-surgery recovery, older horses, horses in training, and overall reduction of inflammation. Made in Mirabel, QC.
Packaging includes 30 pouches of 30 ml concentrate.
HycoFlex uses a thoughtful combination of ingredients to provide comprehensive joint care. Collagen supports the structure of joint cartilage, while hyaluronic acid reinforces elasticity and aids the lubricating action of synovial fluid. Vitamin C helps improve collagen absorption, vitamin A supports immune function and cell regeneration, and vitamin E provides antioxidant protection to reduce free-radical damage during exercise. Peppermint is added to support digestion, offer an antispasmodic effect, and make the formula palatable to over 98 percent of horses—because a supplement only works if your horse is willing to eat it.
HycoFlex can be used throughout a horse’s life, from training and competition to retirement. Riders commonly report improved willingness, better body use, freer movement, and overall fluidity when their horses are on HycoFlex Ultra.

Things you may consider
-
The size of the net hole you choose depends on the type of animal you are feeding, its developmental stage, lifestyle, and what hay type you are providing. See our Net Guide for more information and our Hay Testing page.
general guide below:
1 inch: Ponies, miniature animals, and young mini goats and lambs will all do very well with 1-inch netting.
1.5 inch: This is our most popular size for equines, donkeys, mules, alpacas, goats, sheep, llamas, rabbits, and yes, even chickens!
2 inch: For larger breeds like drafts, warmbloods, working horses, young and older horses, and calves.
2.75 inch: For cattle and horses, when consumption is not an issue, just wanting to keep the hay in the feeder. The 2.75 is a great net, especially in colder climates. It can be used for older horses, growing, working & racehorses, and it works great for cattle. This net needs to be used in a feeder as its larger holes could be a hazard.
-
When introducing slow hay feeding hay nets, always provide loose hay along with the NAG Bag for the first week. Loose hay feedings assist your animal in learning how to "graze" from the nets properly, minimizes the chance of net damage, and prolong the life of your NAG Bag.
Remember, slow-feeding is only as good as the hay that’s being offered. Meeting the animal's needs is very important, and ensuring that you have the correct hay type will help ensure successful net feeding.

NAG Bags offers hay nets in various sizes and capacities to accommodate different needs.
The small-sized hay nets typically have the capacity to hold around 1-2 flakes of hay or a smaller quantity suitable for individual servings. These are often convenient for travel or shorter feeding durations.
The medium-sized hay nets have a larger capacity, capable of holding approximately 5-6 or more flakes of hay. These are ideal for extended feeding periods or for multiple horses.
The large-sized hay nets with the highest capacity are Round Bale and Large Square Bales. The capacity of these hay nets is tailored to accommodate the size of bales, measured in feet (width x height).
It's important to note that the exact size and capacity options may vary between different models or product lines offered by NAG Bags. It is recommended to refer to the specific product descriptions or reach out to NAG Bags directly for detailed information on their hay nets' size and capacity specifications.
-
NAG Bags can be used with shod horses. However, the nets should be placed in a tub, feeder, hay ring, or hung out of the pawing range. We do like to see the net in a lower position, if possible for a more natural foraging position.
-
When Nag Bags hay nets are property introduced, our customers find that their horses prefer to forage from the Nag Bag rather than loose hay. Trickle feeding is natural for them, and they know it. Choose the correct net hole size for your animal to match their needs and hay type.
Please view our Net Guide for more information. Still not sure; please call.
