Devils Claw for Horses
Why Choose Devil’s Claw for Horses?
Powerful Soothing Properties
Devils Claw for horses is derived from the root of the Harpagophytum procumbens plant, native to South and South-East Africa. Known for its powerful anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, Devil’s Claw is widely used to provide comfort for stiff joints, muscle pain, bruising, and inflammation in horses.
Benefits of Devil’s Claw for Horses
- Supports Joint Health & Comfort: Devil’s Claw helps soothe joint stiffness and provides relief for horses suffering from muscle pain, minor strains, and bruising.
- Anti-inflammatory: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, Devil’s Claw works by inhibiting inflammatory cytokines and enzymes, providing a similar effect to bute without the side effects.
- Fast Acting: Relief from stiffness and discomfort is typically felt within 12 to 24 hours of supplementation, making it ideal for acute situations.
- Supports Muscle & Joint Function: Devil’s Claw supports joint health, especially in older horses or those suffering from chronic pain or osteoarthritis.
- Non-toxic & Safe: Devil’s Claw is a safe, non-toxic supplement, with no undesirable side effects when used at the recommended feeding rates. However, it should not be fed to pregnant mares.
What Makes Devils Claw Different?
Our Devil’s Claw Root Powder contains 5% harpagoside root, the active ingredient that gives this supplement its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties.
Many other Devil’s Claw supplements contain only 1% active ingredient, making ours up to 5 times stronger than the competition.

How Does Devils Claw Work?
Devil’s Claw works by inhibiting inflammatory cytokines (such as IL-6 and TNF-alpha) and the COX-2 enzyme, similar to the action of NSAID drugs. However, unlike NSAIDs, Devil’s Claw offers a lower risk of gastric ulcers, making it a safer alternative for horses prone to such issues.
