Equus Premium Boswellia Powder (Premium) 1kg

Equus Health Premium Boswellia Powder – 1kg

Boswellia is the resin of the frankincense tree, ground to a powder, and it is fed for the soft tissue as much as the joint itself. Equus Health's own description covers ligament, tendon and joint health to sustain all-round mobility, and they add that it is often used to aid digestion and give colonic support.

The daily rate is low — 15g for a horse, 10g for a pony — which is one of the practical arguments for it: a 1kg tub is over two months for a full-sized horse, so the cost per day is modest despite the price per kilo.

Performance & Benefits

• 100% boswellia powder, with nothing else in the tub.
• Fed for ligament, tendon and joint health, in Equus Health's own words.
• Aimed at all-round mobility rather than one joint.
• Also used, they say, to aid digestion and provide colonic support.
• A low daily rate, so a 1kg tub covers more than two months for a horse.
• Separate published rates for horses and for ponies.

Suitable For

• Horses in regular work where soft tissue as well as joints is the concern.
• Veterans stiffening up, fed as a long-term daily powder.
• Owners who want a single named ingredient rather than a multi-ingredient joint supplement.
• Ponies, at the lower 10g rate, where a tub lasts around one hundred days.
• Where a competing horse needs joint support, check the rules first: for anything containing devil's claw, such as No Bute, a 48-hour withdrawal applies.

Feeding

• Horses: approximately 15g daily.
• Ponies: approximately 10g daily.
• Equus Health give the measure as half a 50ml scoop, or one 25ml scoop, per day.
• Stir into a damp feed — it is a fine powder and will blow about in a dry one.
• 1kg at the horse rate is about 66 days, and about 100 days at the pony rate.
• Equus Health also pack it in 3kg.
