Various Components Of Equine Inflammation Management Supplements

By Anthony Johnson


People domesticated horses for helping them in many things such as sports, work, transportation and warfare even during the older years. They have different markings, life stages, breeds, colors, locomotion, sizes and behavior with a vocabulary used specially for describing them. When born, young ones could immediately walk and their training starts when they reach two to four years of age.

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.

Studies were done for these ingredients for numerous years now to know more about how the horses are really affected by them. This would help people understand which supplements are capable in helping your animals better because their labels may read something not in them. The following are a few components these nutraceuticals have in common.

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.

tGlucosamine is effective to relive pain and usually after a short time of ten days to fourteen and could encourage healing and would slow cartilage. Each day, a dosage of six thousand until ten thousand milligram is needed, with the latter amount suitable for working horses best. During the first or second week of treatment, higher level is recommended in giving them this substance for a therapeutic level.

Combining products works best when the recommended therapeutic dose are contained in them of every ingredient. Example of this are glucosamine and chondroitin which works better together than when taken separately. Vitamin C is essential for healthy joints although having much of it is harmful and copper and zinc are antioxidants that can help.

The structural component for cartilage, tough connective tissues and bone is chondroitin although its effects are not as obvious as glucosamine. Horses appear to more fluidly move though as reported by observers when this is taken by them. Formal studies regarding them have mixed results with its greatest benefit is preventing cartilage breakdown further.

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 products combining these ingredients, though not all, are effective actually although not studies can show the reason why. The best thing that you could do is finding supplements containing a full glucosamine dose with a chondroitin closer to its proper dosage. There are some other ingredients but these are the major ones for now.
