Joint supplementation is something that is usually considered at one point in a horse's life. Horses that typically need additional supplements include those that have been started before their bones, cartilage and tendons reached full maturity, race horses, horses that been used hard and regularly for a long time, horses that have suffered some trauma or injury to their joints, and very old horses.

Most supplements on the market contain glucosamine, which is an amino acid that the body produces naturally and is an active ingredient used in the building and repair of cartilage. You will also find chondroitin, which is an element found in cartilage, and helps form healthy cartilage. It is thought to help prevent or slow the deterioration of cartilage as well. You should look for supplements that also contain hyaluronic acid, which is thought to be related to the production or retention of the natural fluid found in the joints. Additionally, vitamin C and manganese are thought to provide extra nutrients necessary for optimal joint health.

Biomax H.A. contains all of these ingredients and is the ideal supplement for your horse. Recommended serving is one 32gram scoop daily.
