What is Joint-Plus?
Joint-Plus is our high strength, joint supplement for horses. It has been carefully created to supply your horse with useful ratios and correct levels of all the ingredients which have been shown to support healthy joints and overall joint health, joint care and joint function.
Joint-Plus is also superior when it comes to helping joint stiffness and cartilage resilience.
Why choose Joint Plus?
Many companies use minimum levels of the expensive ingredients in their joint supplement, like chondroitin sulphate and high ingredients of those which are cheaper in an attempt to make their products more attractive on a cost basis.
We have carefully formulated the levels of each ingredient to support maximum joint health effectiveness at both the loading and maintenance feeding levels. This means you can increase or lower the levels you feed in response to your horse, knowing that you are giving optimum levels of each ingredient for healthy joints in relation to each other.
We believe our Joint-Plus joint support combined with one of our balancers will afford the very best support for equine joint health on the market.
Zinc and copper deficiencies are extremely common in equine diets, both in terms of meeting minimum daily intake and also when levels are compared to competing minerals in the diet, like iron and manganese.
Combining one of our balancers to improve copper and zinc levels at the same time as feeding Joint-Plus will help maintain flexible, healthy joints.
What does it contain?
- Glucosamine Sulphate – An ally of synovial fluid, a key cartilage nutrient proven to support the health of both cartilage and the thick synovial fluid that oils the joint. Synovial fluid will reduce friction, improving joint support. Best used in conjunction with chondroitin sulphate (please note that this ingredient has the potential to worsen insulin resistance).
- Chondroitin Sulphate – Research recommends that feeding a combination of key nutrients allows them to work together more effectively than any single nutrient alone. ( Chondroitin can also be used as a separate equine joint care product for supporting healthy skin with seasonal itching issues).
- Hyaluronic Acid – The combination, ratio and amount of each ingredient are vital, this ingredient is an essential component of joint function, joint support and healthy joints.
- MSM – is essential for the health and elasticity of the connective tissues surrounding the joints.
- Vitamin C – a very useful antioxidant vitamin. Vitamin C is needed to make collagen, a substance that strengthens many parts of the body, such as muscles, joints and blood vessels
If you are looking to support joint health, maintain healthy joints and joint function, we believe our Joint-Plus joint supplement for horses is one of the best joint supplements available.

Feed Rates
You now have the flexibility to choose the feeding rate which suits your horse – high rate, medium rate or low rate, but even at a low rate, your horse is still getting large amounts of each ingredient at the correct ratios. The highest rate can commonly be used when the horse joint presents increased stiffness. The medium rate can be used when carrying out a loading period (30 days) and the low rate used after the loading period as maintenance for all horses.
