Equine America Glucosamine HCI 12000 – 1kgJoint disease — particularly wear and tear of the cartilage on the articular surfaces of joints — is one of the most common causes of lameness in horses and ponies. It can affect those in lighter work or older horses, as well as those in strenuous training and competition.In a healthy joint, cartilage continuously undergoes repair to micro-damage. However, as cartilage has no blood supply of its own, it relies on the bone underneath and the synovial fluid bathing the joint to supply the nutrients needed for repair. As a horse ages, or the demands of training increase, this supply may not keep pace with the rate of damage — leading to pain and lameness.Glucosamine HCI 12000 provides the key building blocks to support joint health and mobility, including 12g of glucosamine per 30g loading dose, plus Hyaluronic Acid and MSM, to support cartilage repair and help maintain the synovial fluid that lubricates and nourishes the joint.CompositionDextrose, Glucosamine Hydrochloride (40.45%), MSM (5.5%), Hyaluronic Acid (0.03%)Feeding DirectionsFor a 500kg horse — initial 10 days: 30g per day.
