Omega Equine Glucosamine Extra 3.6kg

Omega Equine Glucosamine Extra – 3.6kg

Three active ingredients doing three different jobs. Glucosamine is an amino-sugar the body uses as raw material for cartilage, and the horse makes less of it with age. MSM is a sulphur source that supports tendons, ligaments and connective tissue. Sodium hyaluronate is the one that goes to the joint fluid itself.

Omega state the amounts per 30g serving rather than leaving you to guess at a proprietary blend: 12,100mg of glucosamine sulphate 2KCl, 2,160mg of MSM and 15mg of sodium hyaluronate. The 3.6kg tub is the largest size and the one that makes sense for long-term feeding — after the loading fortnight it runs at 15g a day, which is around 240 days. It is produced in the UK and Omega describe it as vegan.

Performance & Benefits

• Glucosamine sulphate 2KCl at 12,100mg per 30g serving — Omega state the figure rather than hiding it in a blend.
• Maintains a healthy cartilage matrix and supports the body’s own joint repair processes.
• MSM at 2,160mg per 30g, supporting tendons, ligaments and connective tissue.
• Sodium hyaluronate at 15mg per 30g, for synovial fluid and healthy joint lubrication.
• Vegan, and produced in the UK from natural ingredients.
• 3.6kg tub — roughly 240 days at the maintenance rate.

Suitable For

• Horses on long-term daily joint support, where the largest tub is the economic choice.
• Older horses, and horses in hard or concussive work.
• Horses whose owners want glucosamine, MSM and hyaluronic acid in one product rather than three.
• Yards feeding joint support to more than one horse.
• Not a herbal mobility supplement — Omega Equine Boswellia Extra is the boswellia-based option, and Omega state that one is competition legal.

Feeding

• Loading: 30g daily, two scoops, for the first 7 to 10 days.
• Maintenance: 15g daily, one scoop.
• Mix into the normal feed.
• Omega give a 900g container as about 60 days at the maintenance rate, so 3.6kg is roughly 240 days.
