TopSpec Joint Feed Balancer combines Comprehensive Feed Balancer and a joint supplement. It is a superb product for a wide variety of horses, from those on box-rest to those working hard.
Joint Feed Balancer is a very palatable, high protein, cereal-grain-free, low sugar and starch, ‘Non-Heating’ concentrated feed that contains a multi-supplement including the levels of micronutrients and digestive aids normally only found in high quality specialised supplements.
Joint Feed Balancer includes the scientifically/veterinary recommended rate of glucosamine in a daily quantity of feed to support healthy joints, i.e. 10 grams of glucosamine/500kg horse/day. It is also rich in the building blocks for hyaluronic acid (HA) and chondroitin. The complete molecules of HA and chondroitin themselves are too large to be absorbed in any significant quantity from the horse’s gut. These glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are essential constituents of synovial fluid. High levels of manganese and vitamin C are also included, as they are important for cartilage synthesis. Joint Feed Balancer also contains methionine and other bio-available sources of sulphur, which help to maintain optimum function in tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and muscles. Joint Feed Balancer contains a blend of antioxidants, including vitamins A, C and E to help maintain healthy cell function around the joints.
The superb specification of Joint Feed Balancer allows horses to utilise far more nutrients from the forage and straights/blends in their diet, which usually means that their hard feed intake can be reduced. This benefits digestion and is a more natural way of feeding, leading to a more relaxed horse amongst other benefits.
