WHY DEVILS CLAW?
Powerful Soothing Properties
Devil’s Claw for horses is a plant that is native to south and south-east Africa. Devil’s claw root powder is commonly used for its powerful soothing properties.
Our Devil’s Claw for horses contains 5% active ingredient (harpagoside root). Most other brands contain only 1%.
Comfort for Stiff Joints
It is a great choice for horses, offering comfort to stiff horse joints and horse areas affected by minor bumps, knocks, soreness, bruising and strains.
Anti Inflammatory Properties
Devil’s Claw may help reduce inflammation around the joints, with a similar effect to “bute”, without side effects.
- Support for stiffness
- Offers comfort for minor bumps, knocks muscle pain and bruises
- Ideal for older horses or horses with joint conditions
- Anti-inflammatory properties
- Offers comfort to horses with chronic pain
Muscles & Joints
Devils Claw root powder has been shown in many studies to help support muscle and joint issues in all ages of equine.
The use of Devil’s Claw as a joint supplement is not associated with any toxicity or undesirable side effects but it should not be fed to pregnant mares.
Fast Acting
The onset of support for stiffness is 12 to 24 hours after first supplementing.
The feeding rate of Forageplus Devil’s Claw for horses is 5 – 20 grams per day for an average-sized horse.
If feeding the lower feed rate of 5 grams per day, this will supply your horse with 250 milligrams of the active ingredient harpagoside.
Forageplus recommends the use of Joint-Plus for the maintenance and support of healthy, well-functioning joints in all horses. You can take a look here.

really good quality Devils Claw with quantified and high level – 5% active ingredient (harpagoside root). Most brands don’t say the level and if they do it is comparatively low. I find it works very well at maintaining mobility of senior horses.

I’ve started using a small amount of Devils Claw morning & night with my pony. It takes the edge off biting flies limiting symptoms of sweet itch which he suffers from badly. Along with Spirulina at both ends of the day it seems to have a positive effect no tearing of skin or hyper itching.He’s more comfortable if I use it.

Finding this works well for pain killer , can observe the difference in her eyes & motion when I need to use this. Just experimenting with my pony to see if it desensitises the itching with midges !

I use this post competition for anti inflammation instead of Bute as often my horses are competing nearly every weekend and cannot wait 2 weeks following Bute to be FEI legal. I find it works just as well for maintenance as Danilon which is usually use.
