What is Boswellia for Horses?
Boswellia (also known as Frankincense) is a powerful supplement that provides natural support for joints, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage in horses.
Derived from the Boswellia Carterii tree, native to the Arabian Peninsula and the Horn of Africa, Boswellia for horses has been used as a traditional medicine for over 8,000 years, thanks to its rich content of boswellic acids (terpenes).
Forageplus Boswellia for horses is sourced from the powdered resin of the Boswellia Carterii tree, which contains beta-boswellic acid, a group of triterpenoids with anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic properties.
This supplement is ideal for maintaining and supporting the comfort of older horses, ponies, and performance horses in active competition.
