Nutrition and Supplements
When choosing what supplements you are going to include in your performance horse’s diet, its essential to make sure that: 1) What they say is in the bag is actually what’s in the bag, and 2) There is research supporting the fact that those ingredients actually do what they say they will. There are hundreds of options available, and very few that meet both of those criteria. The following are the ones that we use on our own horses and recommend to our clients:
For Joints:
4CYTE Epiitalis Forte Gel
Epiitalis is a plant seed oil extract that can be used to maintain joint suppleness, provide nutritional support after a joint injury or operation, and maintain healthy joints in high performance horses. It is well supported by strong research showing that it can both improve the symptoms of osteoarthritis and actually decrease the signs of osteoarthritis on x-rays.
Platinum Joint Care Competition + HA
This joint formula contains glucosamine, MSM, HA, Boswellia serrata extract, cetyl myristoleate, and vitamin C to support healthy joints and joint fluid. It can and should be used along with Platinum Performance Equine to support total body wellness.
