Glucosamine is a well-proven joint supplement for horses that supports joint function, mobility, and long-term durability. Glucosamine is a naturally occurring substance in the body, found in joint cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. With increasing age or during prolonged and intensive training, the cartilage in the joints can wear down faster than the body can rebuild it, which can lead to stiffness and reduced mobility.

Trikem's Glucosamine contains glucosamine sulfate derived from shellfish as well as manganese, two important nutrients involved in the formation of the horse's joint cartilage. Together, they help support the structure and function of the cartilage and maintain supple and well-functioning joints.

In the joints, there is a constant process where cartilage is broken down and rebuilt. The joint cartilage covers the ends of the bones and allows the joint surfaces to glide frictionlessly against each other. When breakdown exceeds rebuilding, which often occurs in older horses or horses under hard training, mobility can deteriorate. Glucosamine and manganese are then important building blocks to support the regeneration of cartilage.

The product is formulated in a palatable prebiotic yeast culture that promotes a healthy gut flora and is gentle on the stomach. This contributes to improved nutrient absorption and makes the supplement suitable even for sensitive horses.

Glucosamine is suitable for both older horses with stiffer joints and adult horses that are trained regularly or subjected to high stress. It can also be used for diagnosed joint changes such as osteoarthritis. The product has no competition withdrawal period and can be used as needed throughout the year.

6 ml (5 g) per 100 kg body weight per day.
