Glucosamine is a naturally occurring substance found in, for example, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. With increasing age or prolonged training, wear and tear of the joint cartilage can occur, which may reduce joint mobility. Trikem Glucosamine contains glucosamine sulfate, derived from shellfish, as well as manganese—both substances that are components of the horse's joint cartilage.

Glucosamine and manganese, nutrition for the horse's joints. Glucosamine is a naturally occurring substance that, together with manganese, can be used for the development of various parts of the joint.

Why glucosamine?

In the joint, there is a constant breakdown and rebuilding of cartilage. The cartilage covers the ends of the bones and allows the joint surfaces to glide frictionlessly against each other.

With increasing age and training, wear and tear of the joint cartilage occurs, which can lead to reduced movement. To rebuild the cartilage, glucosamine and manganese are needed. Older horses have a lower production of glucosamine, and the training horse may have a greater demand than the body can produce.

Trikem's Glucosamine contains glucosamine and manganese and is formulated in a palatable prebiotic drink. The drink promotes healthy gut flora, is gentle on the stomach, and thus supports higher absorption.
