Equine Joint Supplements for horses. Massive range available here at horsebasket.com. Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Hyaluronic Acid and MSM have been research proven to aid in the restoration of equine joint tissue, help prevent further damage and also slow the degeneration process down. Degeneration is a natural process and it should be noted that no supplement will ever prevent it completely. However some horses joints age faster than their chronicle age and by feeding a joint supplement you can slow this process down significantly so that damage isn't outweighing the repair phase.
Equine America's Cortaflex HA is a well studied supplement and has clinical backing in its effectiveness for horse joints and mobility; but there are some equally good joint supplements for your horse available in the UK now. Kentucky Performance Products offer a equine joint supplement by the name of Joint Armor - this has high levels of Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Hyaluronic Acid and is very much comparable to Cortaflex HA. It's a big seller in the US and more people are starting to use this here in the UK. If you are on a budget you should go for a supplement with just Glucosamine and MSM in it as this will be much cheaper. If budget isn't an issue then you should go with a joint supplement that offers Chondroitin, Hyaluronic Acid in it as well. There is one easy rule to follow when doing your research. The joint supplement that provides the highest daily dose for your horse regardless of cost or brand is the best supplement to feed.
