Joint supplements - where to begin. There are literally thousands of them on the market. Each making a different bold claim. There's hundred of ingredients (some you can pronounce and some you can't) and it's really not clear which ones are worth the money (or not).
I set out to review all the common ingredients that were being listed in the equine joint supplements and consulted over 250 scientific papers to decipher which ones are actually bioavailable in horses (this means they can actually absorb/utilise the ingredient) and then which ones have proven efficacy (they actually work!) in scientific trials/research.
I compiled all my research into one chunky 'Joint Supplements for Horses' guide - which you can read here. It's a bit of beast and I won't judge you for feeling overwhelmed when you see that it's 105 steps long 🫨.
In attempt to make the learning a bit more bite-sized I'm going to call out some of the 'winning' ingredients into blogs such as this one. So first up - Green Lipped Mussel (GLM).
Derived from a species of mussel native to the pristine waters of New Zealand, GLM is packed with a potent mix of nutrients that offer a range of benefits for your horse's joints. In this blog, we'll explore why GLM is a superior joint supplement choice for horses, backed by scientific research.
