Benefits

Collagen with undenatured type II collagen specifically targets the immune system to promote joint health, support cartilage repair, and reduce joint discomfort. It has been clinically shown to be more effective than glucosamine and chondroitin for joint support. Helps maintain the structural integrity of cartilage and joints, supporting mobility and flexibility. Supports a healthy inflammatory response within the joints.

Sodium hyaluronate HA (Hyaluronic Acid) is a key component of synovial fluid, it lubricates joints, reducing friction and supporting smooth movement. Contributes to the health and elasticity of cartilage. Studies suggest it can improve tendon healing and reduce inflammatory cell infiltration in tendons. Helps hydrate and maintain the elasticity of various tissues throughout the body, including skin.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) provides a bioavailable source of sulfur, which is essential for the horse’s natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant processes, thus supporting joint comfort and mobility. Plays a role in the production of collagen, a vital component of cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. Helps reduce oxidative stress in the body. Supports healthy skin, a shiny coat, and stronger hoof horn due to its role in the synthesis of sulfur-containing amino acids and vitamins (like biotin and methionine).

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is crucial for the synthesis of collagen, which is essential for healthy connective tissues (cartilage, tendons, ligaments), bones, and blood vessels. A powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Supports a healthy immune system. May be beneficial for horses under stress or heavy training, as vitamin C demands can increase.

Strontium hydrogen citrate is primarily associated with supporting bone formation and strength. It may help boost the rate at which new bone-building cells (osteoblasts) are formed and increase their survival. Helps regulate the activity of cells that break down bone (osteoclasts). Contributes to the formation of healthy bone that may be more resistant to fracture.

Magnesium oxide, magnesium sulfate (MOS) is often used as a calming supplement to help horses cope with stress and anxiety, and to reduce excitability and nervousness. Supports proper nerve and muscle function, as magnesium is a critical electrolyte. Can contribute to improved hoof health and may help with stone bruising or soreness. May be beneficial for horses with laminitis, as some laminitic horses show low magnesium levels.

Manganese proteinate, Manganese hydrochloride, Manganese amino acid complex (all forms of manganese, with different binding agents for potentially enhanced absorption) are crucial for the formation of cartilage, specifically as a component of chondroitin sulfate. Essential for healthy bone development and skeletal integrity. A key component of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), which protects cells from oxidative damage. Provide metabolic support through aid in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

Copper sulfate, Copper proteinate, Basic copper gluconate (All forms of copper, with different binding agents for potentially enhanced absorption) Essential for the formation and maintenance of healthy connective tissues, including collagen and elastin, important for joints, skin, and blood vessels. Important for iron metabolism and the production of red blood cells, thus preventing anemia. Supports a healthy immune system. Critical for proper bone and cartilage development, especially in young, growing horses. Involved in melanin formation, which affects coat color and quality, and can help prevent sun bleaching. Supports proper hoof growth and repair.

Vitamin A supplement is essential for good vision, particularly night vision. Plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy immune system. Supports healthy skin and coat. Important for reproductive function. Aids in the growth and development of young horses.

Vitamin D3 supplement crucial for the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for strong bones and teeth. Supports proper bone mineralization and skeletal integrity. Plays a role in supporting a healthy immune system.

d-alpha tocopherol acetate (source of vitamin E), Vitamin E supplement is a powerful fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes from oxidative damage caused by free radicals, particularly important for muscle and nerve health. Supports healthy muscle function and recovery, especially in athletic horses. Essential for maintaining a healthy nervous system/neurological function. Helps boost immune function.

Menadione sodium bisulfite complex (Vitamin K source) is essential for normal blood coagulation and clotting and plays a role in bone metabolism and bone strength.

Choline chloride supports healthy liver function, including fat metabolism and the elimination of toxins. Involved in nerve transmission and brain function, supporting cognitive health and nerve responses. A component of phospholipids, which are crucial for cell membrane structure and integrity.

Vitamin B12 supplement is essential for the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, thus supporting normal energy levels. Critical for the formation of red blood cells and preventing anemia. Supports healthy nerve function. May help maintain a state of calm in some horses.

Selenium yeast is an organic and highly bioavailable form of selenium, a powerful antioxidant that protects cells and tissues from oxidative damage. Essential for maintaining healthy muscle function and preventing muscle disorders. Vital for a robust immune system. Supports normal reproductive function and colostrum quality in mares. Contributes to the health of the brain and nervous system.

Dried yeast fermentation solubles provides beneficial components (like beta-glucans, mannan oligosaccharides, and nucleotides) for gut health that support a balanced hindgut microflora. Can enhance immune response by affecting antibody levels and helping to bind to pathogenic bacteria in the gut. Aids in nutrient absorption by supporting the health and growth of intestinal cells. Can help in neutralizing or adsorbing mycotoxins that may be present in feed.

Brewer’s dried yeast is a natural source of B vitamins (e.g., biotin, B12, thiamine) and trace minerals (e.g., copper, zinc, chromium, selenium), which are vital for various metabolic processes, energy production, and nerve function. Acts as a prebiotic, promoting the growth of beneficial gut microbes and aiding digestion. Often used for horses with behavioral problems due to its B vitamin content, which can support a calmer demeanor. The B vitamins and minerals contribute to healthy skin, coat, and hooves.

Iron proteinate is a highly absorbable form of iron, essential for the production of hemoglobin in red blood cells, which transports oxygen throughout the body. Helps prevent iron deficiency anemia, which can lead to fatigue and reduced performance. Supports overall energy levels and vitality due to its role in oxygen transport.

Ground flaxseed meal is an excellent source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid, which supports a healthy inflammatory response throughout the body. Promotes a sleek, shiny coat and healthy skin. The anti-inflammatory properties can benefit joints and soft tissues. Provides dietary fiber, which aids in healthy digestion and gut function. Supports a healthy immune system.

Flaxseed oil is a concentrated source of omega-3 fatty acids (ALA), offering similar benefits to ground flax seed meal in terms of anti-inflammatory properties, skin, coat, and joint health. Provides a healthy source of calories for weight gain or for horses needing additional energy without the “fizziness” associated with high-starch feeds. Helps support normal gastrointestinal function.
