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 many uses in various fields, they could develop illness or their body would become weaker specially in old age. That is why they need equine inflammation management supplements to help them keep their good condition longer. These nutraceuticals have different ingredients with varying amounts in them making their effective vary in each 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 studied intensively among joint supplement ingredients and are considered the basic building block for every connective tissues. Some products might have them from natural sources like from cattle sternum or trachea. Others have hydrolyzed collagen from sources such as ligaments, tendons and skins.

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.

Components work best when combined specially if their suggested therapeutic dose has been followed for each ingredient. Chondroitin and glucosamine combined is an example that together works better rather than separately taken. Vitamin C for healthy joints is essential although too much is harmful and zinc and copper are antioxidants which can help as well.

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.

Combining both glucosamine and chondroitin shows superior results though when compared to using them separately. Many supplements are combining them although they have lower the dosage of what is required when taken independently. These products claim that when you combine them, you could lower the dosage and still have the same effect even when there is no study that proves 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.
