Glucosamine is often considered the “backbone” of many equine joint supplements.
Glucosamine may enhance the integrity and resilience of healthy articular cartilage and the viscosity of synovial fluid in equine joints. Along with its role in the production and protection of cartilage, Glucosamine Sulphate may also provide joint, ligament and tendon support.
Dosage
10g per day/500kg horse
Introduce gradually into the diet over 14 day period. Add to feed, split into two feeds (morning and night where possible, i.e 5g each feed).
Glucosamine may function more effectively in the presence of a bio-available source of sulfur such as MSM Powder. These two supplements are often fed in conjunction with one another to help increase the effectiveness on equine joints.
