A Few 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 numerous uses in several fields, they could get an illness or have a weaker body because of old age. This is why they require equine inflammation management supplements in helping their good condition be kept longer. Nutraceuticals like these have different ingredients in varying amounts which make their effectiveness vary in every 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.

Intensive studies have been done for glucosamine compared with other joint supplement ingredients because of them being the basic building blocks of every connective tissue. Some products may extract them from a natural source like the sternum or trachea of catle. Others get hydrolyzed collagen from other sources like skins, ligaments and tendons.

Glucosamine is effective for relieving pain within ten to fourteen days sometimes and can slow breakdown in cartilage and encourage healing. Six thousand to ten thousand milligram of dosage each day is needed, particularly the latter dosage amount for working horses. Higher level is also suggested the first couple of weeks of their treatment to get a therapeutic level of this substance.

Combining components works best when their recommended therapeutic dose is being followed based on what each one should be. Sample of this is glucosamine and chondroitin that works better together compared to taking them separately. For healthy joints, vitamin C is important although too much of it would be harmful, and antioxidants like copper and zinc are helpful.

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.

Though combining glucosamine and chondroitin both shows superiors results when compared with using them separately. Numerous supplements have combined them though their dosage are lower than the required one when taken separately. These products claim their effects are still the same with a lower dosage when combining them even if no study had proven 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.
