Performance Horses: Nutrition for Joint Support

Performance horses put significant stress on their joints from the chronic wear and tear of intense training and competition. Key nutrients can provide essential building blocks to maintain strong joints and also to aid in recovery after injury. Nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, cetyl myristoleate and avocado/soy unsaponifiables (ASU) have been shown to support active joints, which can help keep performance horses moving, training and competing at their best.
