Glucosamine and manganese provide nutrition for the horse’s joints and contribute to the construction of the various parts of the joint cartilage. Glucosamine is a body-specific substance that is naturally found in, for example, cartilage, tendons and ligaments and plays an important role in joint function and mobility.
With increasing age or long-term training, wear and tear of the joint cartilage increases, which can affect the horse’s mobility and flexibility. Glucosamine contains glucosamine sulfate from shellfish as well as manganese – two substances that are important building blocks in the horse’s joint cartilage and support normal joint function.
In the joints, there is a constant natural breakdown and rebuilding of cartilage tissue. The cartilage acts as protection around the ends of the bones and allows the joint surfaces to move smoothly and friction-free against each other. Both glucosamine and manganese are needed for the body to build cartilage. Older horses often naturally produce less glucosamine, while training and competing horses may have a greater need than the body has time to produce.
The product is formulated in a tasty prebiotic yeast culture that promotes good intestinal flora, is gentle on the stomach and contributes to better absorption of the nutrients.
Suitable for horses that
• Are older and need support for joints and mobility
• Train or compete regularly
• Have stiff joints
• Need support for cartilage and joint health
• Need extra nutrition for joints during heavy workload
Usage
• For older horses with stiff joints
• For training and competing horses
• In case of increased need for support for cartilage and joints
• In case of established osteoarthritis
