Equine Mobility SupportDescription
Equine Mobility Support is a scientifically researched formula that can help:
- Promote healthy joint function, flexibility, and mobility
- Supplies antioxidants to help protect against damage from free radicals
- Supports a healthy inflammatory response and full and firm stride*
Key Ingredients
Glucosamine
Glucosamine is an important component of cartilage growth, maintenance, and repair. While research is ongoing in horses, meta-analysis of human clinical trials has confirmed the value of glucosamine in support of bone health1,2,3. In the horse, glucosamine has been implicated in regulation of matrix metalloproteinase expression, an important enzyme working in joint tissue.4, 5
In practice, glucosamine is commonly used to support healthy joints, much the same way that glucosamine is used in humans.
Chondroitin Sulfate
Chondroitin sulfate is an important component of the extracellular matrix of connective tissue. Low-molecular-weight chondroitin sulfate is bioavailable in the horse, although to a limited degree.6 While the mechanism of chondroitin sulfate action in joint health remains to be determined, it is an important component of compounds found in various functional components of the joint.
Wheat Germ Oil
Wheat germ oil provides a rich source of vitamin E. Vitamin E promotes healthy circulation, enhances athletic performance, and helps reduce muscle cramping. Vitamin E is an important lipophilic antioxidant implicated in a number of physiological functions. Tocopherols support immune function and lessen the inflammatory response by scavenging reactive oxygen species.

Flaxseeds
Flax Meal
Flax contains significant levels of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically alpha linolenic acid (ALA) and omega-3 fatty acids, which have been implicated in reducing the inflammatory response. Studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids reduced inflammatory thromboxane and decreased endotoxin-induced TNF production in horses.7, 8

Ginger Root
Ginger
Ginger contains a broad spectrum of bioactive compounds. Several ginger compounds have well-documented effects on the inflammatory response. For example, 6-gingerol and 6-paradol have such activity, while 8-paradol and 9-shagaol have been shown to inhibit COX-2 activity. This action may explain ginger's historic uses.9,10
