Tried and tested joint supplements?

[billylula]

Looking for a top quality joint supplement for my two boys, one that doesn't have lots of sweetener in. Anything that you swear by?

Possibly too costly if feeding for two horses but ive recently started bozmerix and im seeing good results so far

4cyte or Yumove seem to work on mine. It seems all work on some but not others, so it's very much trial and error.

Omega Flexology, have had our slightly stiff welsh on it for 3 months...her movement is so much better. Could see the difference in a month with her!

I really rate the GWF supplements, I've used their joint one on all my horses for years and really rate it. I think which you need will probably depend on what you're looking for it to do - prevention/ maintain or help once joint problems have started.

Boswellia, MSM & chondroitin, and green-lipped mussel are all evidence-based supplements that support joint health and/or reduce inflammation, though the bioavailability of GLM in horses is a bit questionable as they're not really equipped for digesting animal products.
I buy powdered boswellia in bulk from Redpost equestrian.

4cyte

I started feeding 4cyte a few months ago now, she doesn't come out the stable stiff at all now. It has proven studies.

I've been feeding Equicure flex. Two key things I was looking for were green lipped mussel and Boswellia and it has both as well as other thiny. I was feeding yumove or maxaflex but vet suggested adding Boswellia

Boswellia is good stuff - not quite strong enough vs bute for mine but got him about 75% there. It also made him super dopey and spaced out so beware (mine's weird though). I thought I saw a difference with GLM but when I removed it from him I didn't really see a difference so stopped. MSM does seem to help though and is cheap as chips.
