TURMERIC (curcuma longa and curcuma xanthorhizza):
Known as the vibrant golden ingredient used liberally in Indian curries, turmeric has a long history of use in both Indian and Chinese traditional medicine. The inherent therapeutic properties are attributed to the vivid yellow-orange pigments (curcuminoids) that are present in turmeric. They are believed to have powerful antioxidant properties (significantly more so than vitamin E or C) and may increase the body's ability to neutralise free radicals before they damage healthy cells and cell membranes. In combination with its perceived anti-inflammatory effects, turmeric has also been known for its role in the prevention or alleviation of an impressive array conditions.
Turmeric may also be useful in reducing inflammation particularly for animals with arthritis and itchy skin.
GROUND BLACK PEPPER:
The inclusion of ground black pepper to this mix may increase the bio-availabilty and absorption rate of turmeric and Resveratrol.
POWERSTANCE (powdered coconut oil):
Stance Equine's powdered coconut oil supplement is a unique coconut delivery system that gives the benefits of this wonderful tropical oil and may also help to increase the absorption of turmeric in the digestive system. Coconut oil contains high levels of medium chain triglycerides (MCT's) which provide the body with a readily available energy source and Lauric Acid, which converts to monolaurin and may provide anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties. The benefits of supplementing animals with coconut oil may include improved digestive health, enhanced coat and skin condition.
RESVERATROL:
Resveratrol is produced in plants to maintain their general health. Normal body functioning gives rise to free radicals with production greatly increased during inflammation and stress. Resveratrol has been added to Turmericle as it is an antioxidant that may help the body efficiently detoxify these free radicals. The resveratrol is derived from Japanese knotweed.

From pleasure to performance horses, CEN Oil is used successfully by horse owners all around Australia.
Containing 60% Omega 3, CEN Oil provides a high-quality source of plant-based Omega 3 with a similar Omega profile to fresh pasture.

- Energy: CEN Oil is a cool source (non-heating) of calories ideal for all horses in work or needing to maintain condition in work..
- Immune System: Omega 3 contributes to the homeostasis of inflammatory responses (anti-inflammatory) and supports the activity of the immune system which regulates the non-specific inflammatory reactions.
- Joint Health: The anti-inflammatory properties of Omega 3 help joint health especially seen in arthritic horses where chronic inflammation is evident.
- Focus: Containing no sugar or starch, CEN Oil provides does not trigger “hot” behaviour due to the way it is metabolised.
- Stomach: CEN Oil is highly suitable for ulcer prone horses, due to its nutrient profile and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Hoof Integrity: Omega 3 is important for the hoof wall microtubules and laminae so they are built with suppleness and strength. The slick-looking surfaces are brought from a network of fats and waxes. The function can be described as the “glue” holding the hoof together. They keep the environmental moisture out but the critical tissue moisture in.

Horse Joint Supplements
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.
