We often think of joint problems as being the most common issue associated with ageing, and while it is true that joint issues are seen in many older horses, there are other age related concerns that we need to be aware of. Research is showing that older horses, like humans, show evidence of 'inflamm-ageing', that is, a raised pro-inflammatory state within the system which comes from higher levels of the cytokines (cells of the immune system) involved in inflammation. So, providing nutritional support for the body's own anti - inflammatory response is key in maintaining the health of senior horses.

We also consider performance horses' joints to be more 'senior' than leisure horses of the same age, due to the additional workload that they have been subject to due to their lifestyle. Therefore we should look to improve the diet of performance horses from the age of 10, or even earlier in some disciplines, with an emphasis on support for the joints. To enhance the efficacy of joint supplements, we can increase the levels of key active ingredients and we can look to additional ingredients to offer increased support.
