It covers three layers instead of one. Glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid support cartilage and joint fluid. Boswellia and cetyl myristoleate support joint comfort and lubrication. A 15,500 mg postbiotic supports a normal inflammatory response that starts in the gut.

Every ingredient is included at research-supported levels, formulated by board-certified equine veterinarians and a PhD equine nutritionist. Many joint supplements list similar ingredients at doses too low to make a difference.

Because joint health starts in the gut. The gut is often called the second brain, and what happens there flows downstream to the joints, the muscles, and the immune system. Postbiotics are the beneficial compounds gut microbes produce. Research shows they support a normal inflammatory response throughout the body, including inside the joint, which helps protect articular cartilage, the smooth cushion at the ends of the bones.

Boswellia serrata is a tree native to India. It was first discovered because Ayurvedic healers noticed elephants chewing its bark and seeking out its sticky resin when their joints were stiff. Modern science has since caught up. The resin's active compounds, boswellic acids, have been studied in people, dogs, and performance horses for their role in supporting a normal inflammatory response and joint comfort.

Cetyl myristoleate is a fatty acid included to support joint lubrication and comfort.

Yes, and you should. An injection supports one piece of one joint. Hyaluronic acid supports the fluid. A steroid calms inflammation. A daily supplement supports the whole joint, every joint, holistically instead of symptomatically.

As our veterinary team says "Injections and supplements go hand in glove." Injections handle an acute injury or a flare-up from hard training. A supplement does the work day in and day out, supplying the building blocks for cartilage and supporting a normal inflammatory response.

Many owners notice a difference within a few weeks. The gut takes about seven days to adjust to a new supplement, and the body about 21 more. Because joints are complex, full benefit can take up to 60 days.
