Musculoskeletal Defence Joint & Mobility Support Supplement for Horses

Musculoskeletal Defence is a comprehensive joint and mobility support supplement for horses, formulated with a potent blend of nutrients to help support joint health, cartilage integrity, comfort and mobility. It is ideal for horses needing extra nutritional support for everyday movement, training, recovery or long-term joint care.

This advanced formula combines well-known ingredients including green lipped mussel, hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, MSM, grape seed extract, nettle leaf, turmeric, black pepper, vitamin B12 and vitamin E. Together, these nutrients help support the structures involved in healthy joint function, including cartilage, connective tissue, lubrication and normal movement.

Green lipped mussel provides omega-3 fatty acids that help support joint comfort and maintain healthy joint cell structure. Hyaluronic acid supports cartilage health, elasticity and joint lubrication, while glucosamine and MSM provide nutritional support for cartilage and overall joint wellbeing.

Grape seed extract contributes antioxidant support and helps support connective tissue formation, while nettle leaf and turmeric are included as part of the formula’s broader musculoskeletal support profile. Black pepper is added to support turmeric bioavailability, and vitamins B12 and E help support normal metabolism, antioxidant defence, muscle function and recovery.

Musculoskeletal Defence is suitable for horses needing additional support for joint comfort, flexibility and mobility as part of a balanced feeding program.
