People domesticated horses for helping them in many things such as sports, work, transportation and warfare even during the older years. They have different markings, life stages, breeds, colors, locomotion, sizes and behavior with a vocabulary used specially for describing them. When born, young ones could immediately walk and their training starts when they reach two to four years of age.

Because of their many uses in various fields, they could develop illness or their body would become weaker specially in old age. That is why they need equine inflammation management supplements to help them keep their good condition longer. These nutraceuticals have different ingredients with varying amounts in them making their effective vary in each horse.

Studies have been done for these ingredients in the past years to know what their real effects on horses are. This would help you in understanding which supplements could better help your animals as some have labels written with those they do not contain. The following are several components common to have in these nutraceuticals.

Glucosamine has been intensively studied compared to other ingredients for a joint supplement and is considered as the building block basically for all connective tissues. Most products might extract them from cattle trachea and sternum which is its natural sources. Others get from sources like tendons, skins and ligaments a hydrolyzed collagen.

tGlucosamine is effective to relive pain and usually after a short time of ten days to fourteen and could encourage healing and would slow cartilage. Each day, a dosage of six thousand until ten thousand milligram is needed, with the latter amount suitable for working horses best. During the first or second week of treatment, higher level is recommended in giving them this substance for a therapeutic level.

Combining products works best when the recommended therapeutic dose are contained in them of every ingredient. Example of this are glucosamine and chondroitin which works better together than when taken separately. Vitamin C is essential for healthy joints although having much of it is harmful and copper and zinc are antioxidants that can help.

The structural component for cartilage, tough connective tissues and bone is chondroitin although its effects are not as obvious as glucosamine. Horses appear to more fluidly move though as reported by observers when this is taken by them. Formal studies regarding them have mixed results with its greatest benefit is preventing cartilage breakdown further.

Though combining glucosamine and chondroitin both shows superiors results when compared with using them separately. Numerous supplements have combined them though their dosage are lower than the required one when taken separately. These products claim their effects are still the same with a lower dosage when combining them even if no study had proven this.

Some of these products, although not all, that combines these ingredients actually work but no studies have shown the reasons why this happens. The best way is finding a supplement with full glucosamine dose and a closer to the correct one for chondroitin. There are other ingredients for these supplements but these two are the major ones unless they could discover other ones that can replace them.
