Stiff joints and starting lameness

Properties per ingredient:

• Glucosamine (as glucosamine sulfate 2 KCl) is the easily absorbed form of glucosamine and is beneficial for building cartilage in joints. It contributes to smooth movement.
• Chondroitin sulfate: Chondroitin sulfates are building blocks for cartilage production. They are beneficial for the synovial fluid (joint fluid) and thus ensure proper lubrication of the joints.
• Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is an essential nutrient for joint tissue and is therefore important for joint function.
• Calcium citrate is important for bone formation; it regulates the acid/base balance in the blood and ensures strong bones.
• Magnesium citrate is important for bone strength and has a relaxing effect.
• Selenium (as L-methionine) is an important antioxidant; it has a cell-protective effect.
• Iron (as fumarate) is beneficial for many metabolic processes. Iron is good for connective tissue, promoting rapid recovery.
• Zinc (as L-methionine) is good for cartilage synthesis. Horses should not be given this in combination with too much muesli; the presence of phytic acid in muesli reduces zinc absorption.
• Manganese (as sulfate) is a component of various enzymes, particularly glycosyltransferases. These are important for the production of glycosaminoglycans in cartilage. If there is too much phosphorus in the diet, the absorption of manganese is disrupted.
• Copper (as an amino acid chelate) is an essential component of various enzymes, including those important in connective tissue and bone formation. Copper also has cytoprotective properties, as it is a key building block of the antioxidant enzyme SOD, which protects tissue.
• Boswelia serrata (frankincense tree) promotes smooth movement.
• Harpagophytum procumbens (devil's claw) aids recovery and keeps joints supple.
• Ginger (Zingiber officinalis) for maintaining healthy cells and tissues.
