Joint conditions are a daily reality for so many veterinarians and their clients. See how therapeutic nutrition can help support the health and durability of your patients’ joints and connective tissues.

Veterinarians dedicate thousands of hours each year to the challenge of returning their patients to soundness and peak performance when plagued with a lameness. More and more, many practitioners are turning to the horse’s own body to aid in the healing process. With key nutrients, veterinarians are giving their patients the tools necessary for the body to aid its own natural defenses against joint deterioration. Even more, when an injury does occur, therapeutic nutrients can support the healing process for improved outcomes.

  • Inflammation

    Persistent inflammation is a leading cause of equine joint disease, but ingredients like Omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine, ASU (Avocado Soy Unsaponifiables), cetyl myristoleate, antioxidants such as vitamin C and vitamin E, and botanical compounds such as Boswellia help support a normal healthy inflammatory response in equine patients.

  • Excessive Free Radicals

    Antioxidants help offset the damaging effects of free radicals produced as a response to exercise, poor nutrition or environmental factors. Also, hyaluronic acid (HA) can help maintain synovial fluid viscosity, which can degrade as a result of free radical damage, impacting the joints' cushioning and lubrication.

  • Degradative Enzymes

    Omega-3 fatty acids can help decrease the expression of degradative enzymes, which negatively impact cartilage health. Cartilage breakdown can cause friction due to the loss of protection provided by healthy cartilage, making ingredients like glucosamine important due to its roll as a building block of certain cartilage components.

  • Injury or Overuse

    Although exercise is important for the growth and maintenance of healthy joints, overuse or exercise-related injuries often contribute to the development of joint concerns. Ingredients like silicon can help maintain the strength of bones and soft tissues, while ASU supports the synthesis of cartilage and slows its breakdown as MSM provides sulfur, a key component of cartilage and other connective tissues.

  • Natural Aging Process

    Omega-3 fatty acids support healthy levels of inflammation as everyday activity and exercise contribute to normal wear and tear on the joints. In addition, antioxidants help offset the effects of free radicals, which is important as prolonged exposure to free radicals can speed the aging process.
