I own three horses who need joint supplements:
an off-the-track-standardbred gelding who recovered from a tendon injury
a warmblood mare who sliced her shoulder open and needed three layers of stitches
& a hanoverian filly who had severe OCD in her hock
right now I've been giving them
MaxFlex XR that's about $40.00 average for a little container which lasts about a month per horse
Here's info straight from their site:
MaxFlex™ XR contains:
Active Ingredients per 1/2 ounce:
XR Glucosamine (Marine) . . . . . . . . . . 5,000 mg
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) . . . . . . . 100 mg
Chondroitin Sulfate (Poultry). . . . . . . . . 50 mg
Calcium Ascorbate (Ester-C®) . . . . . . 50 mg
Hyaluronic Acid . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 mg
Manganese Sulfate . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 mg
Inactive Ingredients:
Dehydrated Alfalfa, Dried Molasses, Mineral Oil, Natural and Artificial flavors, XR System™
See label for complete information.
Is this a good supplement? Should I be using something else? Something with a higher amount of Glucosamine or MSM?
Or what's the best joint supplement in your opinion?
