Your horse’s joints go through a lot: from exercise to stabling, work to play, they may be resilient – but they could always do with an extra helping hand to stay strong and healthy. Part of the Animalife Equine Essentials range, Glucosamine is a great all round horse joint supplement which will leave your horse with a new lease of life! A key compound in supporting equine joint health, Glucosamine is the basic building block of all connective tissues – the same connective tissues which keep your horse strong and mobile; and protect their joints from damage as well as daily wear and tear. Glucosamine for horses helps to support horse joint health by assisting with the production and maintenance of cartilage; naturally targeting the body’s inflammatory response; and improving joint comfort (particularly in senior or active horses). As a naturally occurring amino sugar already found in your horse’s body, it is a safe and effective way to provide that extra bit of support for your horse’s health and wellbeing. Tip: Glucosamine and Chondroitin are a great combination for horses. For maximum results, pair with Animalife Chondroitin for horses.
