Location: Montana | I don't necessarily mean brand (although if you want to share what brand you use, that is fine too), but I'm looking more along the lines of what is the best preventative joint supplement ingredient or multiple of ingredients working together, such as MSM, glucosamine, chondroitin, turmeric, hylauronic acid, etc., there's a lot to name, those are just some examples.
My mare is getting older (she's 15 this year, so soon to be 16), and while doesn't show any signs of issues, I know older horses typically become arthritic and have joint changes, damage, etc., just as a fact of life. So I would like to see what you all use and like and have good success with. |

Thanks!, I used to use MSM on my old horse (by old, I meant mid 20's) and I saw no real help, so that is why I'm looking at other options. :-) |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I know people argue against the use of feed throughs, but so much depends on the delivery system. THE uses nitric oxide which carries the supportive ingredients into the horse's system where it can be utilized vs just urinating it out. I like the JointFlex myself. It has 4000mg of gluchosamine & 3000mg of chondroitin & organic tumeric. For a horse with actual arthritic changes I use Flamoxide. It has kept my 2 oldies going greally well.
Oh and Tumeric is a big deal. Studies have shown how well it works against inflammation. |

Location: Montana | Nice! I know my mom used turmeric in the past for her joints, I don't know if it helped or not, but she may have to go back to using it with the studies.
I just want to make sure I keep my mare healthy so she can keep on going, so that's why I'm really looking. Thank you so much! :)
