The Importance Of Joint Supplements.

By Loree Rutzmoser


I can provide first hand testimonial to the immense effectiveness and vast benefits-physically, emotionally and psychologically-of joint supplement.

However, certain conditions may require the use of joint supplements for horses. Some of these conditions might be an older horse, a horse that has suffered an injury, a horse with a heavy workload, or a highly athletic show horse. In these situations, choosing the right joint supplements for horses is very important.

As a result, I was not able to put pressure on my right leg and began shifting my body weight onto the other leg. Because of this imbalance, soon thereafter, my left knee developed inflammation and pain, too. Since I was not able to move, I gained a lot of weight, which put further pressure on my joints.

Of all the joint supplements on the market Glucosamine is probably the one that is most researched. Its primary function is to help keep the horse's joints and cartilage lubricated and aid in the proper formation of the joint tissue. As the equine ages, or as its body is subjected to consistent rigorous riding, it may not produce the sufficient amounts of Glucosamine on its own, which can result in cartilage that loses its shock absorption ability within the horse's joints.

The joints may then become stiff and painful. This can lead to limited range of motion and in severe cases lameness and even deformation.

If you want to enjoy a long riding or working relationship with your horse, you may want to consider adding a joint enhancing or healing supplement to the horse's diet .

After consulting my specialist, based on x-ray findings, he confirmed that my joints were functional and had made a full recovery without the surgery. I happily canceled my surgery appointment and was grateful I went through with taking joint supplement.

Your local vet is another excellent source of information for the latest joint supplements for horses. If your horse is experiencing a nutritional need outside of good forage, please schedule a visit and get your vet's input on what they feel would be the right equine joint supplements for your own horse.

The truth is, there were not as many advanced formulated joint supplements in the market. I only took Glucosamine HCI 1200mg. later I changed to more advanced formulas, the combination regimen of Glucosamine, Chondroitin MSM and other supplements like Salmon Oil Omega 3, the results were remarkable. Thanks to the advanced technology in the industry.
