Joints
Poor joint health in horses is a leading cause for pain, disability, and loss of function, and owners will try whatever necessary to relieve this condition.
Joint supplements for horses are the most used supplement on the market. The reason for this is because horses are being worked very hard and expected to perform beyond what they would be doing in their natural environment. Joint supplements are very important in the maintenance and management of joint conditions including arthritis and joint disease, and simply as maintenance to ensure the horses joints are kept in tip-top condition which will result in your horse being able to perform to its potential for longer.

As horses get older, they are more likely to need a good joint supplement. At Amacron Equine we endorse the 4Cyte Epiitalis, as it has been proven over and over to provide excellent joint care.
Most mobility supplements contain Chondroitin Sulphate, which in simple terms acts like a “water magnet” attracting water to the joint, making sure it does not “dry out”. Another common ingredient is Glucosamine, put simply this helps to rebuild the “cushion” that surrounds the joint. It has been clinically proven to aid in cartilage repair. Some joint supplements contain Hyaluronic Acid (HA), which is present in the cartilage and plays a key role in increasing the viscosity and lubricity of synovial fluid. In simple terms, this provides “lubrication” for the joint.
If you have older horses, they can develop arthritis, this causes inflammation, stiffness, and pain in the joints which makes life unbearable for them and shortens their working career. Joint supplements are essential for these older horses.
Arthritis is irreversible and is the deterioration of cartilage within the joint, this means the bones within the joint are exposed which causes immense pain and inflammation. If you use joint supplements like the 4Cyte Epiitalis you will greatly improve the quality of life for your horse and can prolong its sporting career. It is highly advisable to include a joint supplement in the diet of every sports horse as a precaution against future injury, because a healthy joint is more likely to hold up to the strains of exercise and training.
