FAQ Joint Supplements for Horses

Which horses is Synovium Agility suitable for?

Synovium Agility is a supplement for the horse’s joints, cartilage tissue, and tendons. It is therefore highly suitable for horses that require joint or tendon support, for example, sport horses that train intensively or horses diagnosed with joint osteoarthritis. Since collagen is a structural protein that is produced less or not at all as horses age, supplementing collagen is a sensible choice. Collagen is a key building block found in many parts of the body, including tendons, ligaments, joints, cartilage, and skin.

What is the benefit of a supplement in pellet form?

Synovium Motion JMT is produced in pellet form because this makes the supplement easily absorbable for the horse. Additionally, the pellet does not need to be fed with a ‘carrier’ as is the case with powders and can be fed as a separate pellet.

What are the symptoms of arthritis in horses?

Arthritis can occur in various parts of the body. Some symptoms of arthritis include: lameness, stiffness when moving (for example, during warm-up before riding), difficulty standing up after lying down, and swollen joints.

What is Synovium Biobute a suitable supplement for?

Synovium Biobute provides support for horses experiencing pain due to conditions such as tendon injuries or joint disorders like arthritis. Through a mix of natural ingredients, the product works as an anti-inflammatory, helping to relieve pain.

Why are healthy joints so important for the horse?

The joint is the part of the body where two (or more) bones come together and acts as a kind of hinge. The joint allows the bones to move and is therefore an essential part of the movement mechanism. The joint is designed to absorb and transmit intense forces, primarily during movement. Additionally, the anatomy of the joint allows the bones that meet in the joint to move smoothly and independently of each other. The joint consists of the joint capsule, ligaments, synovial fluid, and cartilage.
