Joint Supplements for Horses

Joint supplements play a crucial role in maintaining the health and mobility of horses. Designed to support joint function and reduce inflammation, these supplements are formulated with key ingredients that promote cartilage repair and overall joint wellness.

In this article, we will explore the benefits of joint supplements for horses, highlighting their importance in enhancing performance and ensuring the well-being of these magnificent animals.

Forageplus high strength, Joint-Plus equine mobility supplement is a winner when it comes to supplying your horse with useful ratios of all the ingredients which have been shown to support the healthy function of joints.

Joint-Plus is also superior when it comes to helping joint stiffness and maintaining joint comfort in older horses.

Horses are amazing animals with incredible athletic abilities.  They were born to move and run with a healthy body able to repair themselves quickly. However, domestic horses carry out many unnatural activities and the strain of jumping, galloping and highly athletic movements can impact joints.

When the body’s ability to repair itself is weakened, daily damage may occur faster than the repair processes.  Research suggests that feeding a joint supplement can aid in maintaining a normal repair balance providing extra insurance to support and maintain the bodies own healing ability.  

Feeding one of our forage focussed balancers, to improve copper and zinc levels will support strong tendon and ligament heath, at the same time feeding Joint-Plus will provide nutritional support to maintain top quality joint and tendon sheath fluid, support comfort levels, flexibility and strong cartilage so joints remain healthy, sound and flexible.

Many companies use minimum levels of expensive ingredients like chondroitin sulphate and high ingredients of those which are cheaper in an attempt to make their products more attractive on a cost basis. 

The carefully formulated levels of each active ingredient in our products ensure maximum effectiveness for both the initial loading phase and ongoing maintenance supplementation. This gives you the confidence to adjust the dosage according to your horse’s needs, knowing that you are providing the optimal amounts of each ingredient in relation to one another.

Joint Plus combined with one of our balancers will afford the very best support and help for equine joints on the market.  Zinc and copper deficiencies are extremely common in equine diets, both in terms of meeting minimum daily intake and also when levels are compared to competing minerals in the diet, like iron and manganese. 

Feeding one of our balancers, to improve copper and zinc levels will support strong tendon and ligament heath, at the same time feeding Joint Plus will provide nutritional support to maintain top quality joint and tendon sheath fluid, support comfort levels, flexibility and strong cartilage so joints remain healthy, sound and flexible.

Forageplus Joint-Plus contains four active ingredients:

Glucosamine  Sulfate – Supports cartilage and the thick synovial fluid that oils the joint. Is best used in conjunction with chondroitin sulphate – please note that this ingredient has the potential to worsen insulin resistance).

Chondroitin Sulphate – Primarily used for support of joint cartilage and maintaining the health of the joint capsule – Chondroitin can also be used as a separate product to support the skin during seasonal itching periods

Hyaluronic Acid – All horses need such good quality joint fluid if their joints are to remain healthy, sound and flexible. 

MSM – is essential for the health and elasticity of the connective tissues surrounding the joints.

Vitamin C – aids healthy anti-oxidant processes

You now have the flexibility to choose the supplement rate which suits your horse – high rate, medium rate or low rate.  The highest rate can commonly be used when joints present increased stiffness and to support the health of old or highly compromised joints.  The medium rate can be used when carrying out a loading period (30 days) and the low rate as maintenance for horses either in hard work or in remission from active arthritis.
