How can joint supplements help my horse?

Joint supplements for horses are designed to support and maintain the health of the joints, which are crucial for mobility, flexibility, and overall performance. There are a range of supplements available with different combinations of ingredients that can support cartilage health, reduce inflammation, promote joint lubrication, support connective tissues and improve overall joint health.

What are the different ingredients in joint supplements that will help my horse?

Horse joint supplements contain a variety of ingredients, each chosen for its specific benefits in supporting joint health and mobility. Common ingredients found in horse joint supplements include:

  • Glucosamine: Often derived from shellfish or synthesised, glucosamine is a building block of cartilage and helps maintain its structure and function. It supports joint health and mobility. KER Glucos-A-Flex combines glucosamine with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants to support joint health.
  • Chondroitin Sulfate: Typically derived from bovine or shark cartilage, chondroitin sulfate helps maintain cartilage elasticity, supports joint lubrication, and may have anti-inflammatory properties.
  • MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane): MSM is a source of sulfur, which is essential for the formation of connective tissues such as tendons and ligaments. It supports joint flexibility and may have anti-inflammatory effects.
  • Hyaluronic Acid: Naturally occurring in the synovial fluid of joints, hyaluronic acid helps lubricate and cushion joints, reducing friction and supporting smooth movement. We like Abbey EasiFlex HA which is a liquid sodium hyaluronate.
  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fish oil or flaxseed oil, omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce joint inflammation and support overall joint health. 
  • Collagen: A protein found in connective tissues, collagen supports joint structure and may aid in the repair of damaged cartilage.
  • Herbal and Plant Extracts: Some are believed to have anti-inflammatory properties that can help alleviate joint discomfort, like Turmeric, found in Stance Equitec Turmericle, and Epiitalis, a plant oil extract found in one of the most popular joint product ranges 4CYTE Epiitalis Forte Gel.
  • Vitamins and Minerals: Some joint supplements may contain vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, manganese, and zinc, which are involved in collagen synthesis and overall joint health. 

It's important to note that the effectiveness of joint supplements can vary depending on factors such as the quality and concentration of ingredients, as well as the individual horse's needs and response. Consulting with a veterinarian or equine nutritionist can help determine the most suitable joint supplement for your horse.

Are joint supplements only for horses that are sore or old?

No, horse joint supplements are not exclusively given to old horses or only when a horse is experiencing soreness or joint discomfort. While joint supplements can be beneficial in providing relief for sore or stiff joints, they are also commonly used preventatively and as part of a proactive approach to maintaining overall joint health in horses and even enhancing performance.
