By Anthony Johnson


People domesticated horses in helping them in several things such as transportation, sports, work and even warfare in the older era. They have different locomotion, markings, sizes, life stages, behavior, breeds and colors with a vocabulary specially used to describe them. Young ones can immediately walk when born and starts their training when they reach the age of two or four.

Because of their numerous uses in several fields, they could get an illness or have a weaker body because of old age. This is why they require equine inflammation management supplements in helping their good condition be kept longer. Nutraceuticals like these have different ingredients in varying amounts which make their effectiveness vary in every horse.

These ingredients have been studied for the past few years in knowing what their effects on horses really are. This will help you to understand which supplements could help your animals better as some of them do not contain what is written on the label. The following are various components these nutraceuticals commonly have in them.

Glucosamine has been intensively studied compared to other ingredients for a joint supplement and is considered as the building block basically for all connective tissues. Most products might extract them from cattle trachea and sternum which is its natural sources. Others get from sources like tendons, skins and ligaments a hydrolyzed collagen.

Glucosamine is effective on relieving pain in shorter times between ten and fourteen days and can encourage healing and slow cartilage breakdown. Six thousand milligram to ten thousand of dosage is needed each day, specifically the latter amount of dosage for working horse. During the first weeks of treating them, a higher level is suggested also to give them this substance in a therapeutic level.

Combining components works best when their recommended therapeutic dose is being followed based on what each one should be. Sample of this is glucosamine and chondroitin that works better together compared to taking them separately. For healthy joints, vitamin C is important although too much of it would be harmful, and antioxidants like copper and zinc are helpful.

Chondroitin is the structural component of bone, cartilage and tough connective tissues with its effects being not that obvious than glucosamine. Though observers report that horses then to move more fluidly when they took this. Formal studies about them show mixed results with the best benefit from it is preventing further cartilage breakdown.

Though combining glucosamine and chondroitin both shows superiors results when compared with using them separately. Numerous supplements have combined them though their dosage are lower than the required one when taken separately. These products claim their effects are still the same with a lower dosage when combining them even if no study had proven this.

Some of these products, although not all, that combines these ingredients actually work but no studies have shown the reasons why this happens. The best way is finding a supplement with full glucosamine dose and a closer to the correct one for chondroitin. There are other ingredients for these supplements but these two are the major ones unless they could discover other ones that can replace them.
