Equithrive® Joint is a unique resveratrol-based formula that supports healthy equine joint function during aging, training and competition. Popular with veterinarians and horsemen alike, Equithrive® Joint can be used safely on a long-term daily basis without gastrointestinal side effects and can be used routinely in conjunction with NSAIDs. Equithrive® Joint is compliant with FEI and US Equestrian regulations and can be used in all racing jurisdictions. Equithrive Joint is different from other supplements because its active ingredient, Resverasyn®, is composed of 99% pure resveratrol that has been micronized and encapsulated so it is easily absorbed by the body. Research published in multiple research journals demonstrates that Equithrive Joint is clinically proven to support soundness and a healthy inflammatory response in horses. Similarly, the company’s metabolic product (Metabarol®), which contains a higher dose of Resverasyn®, has been shown to support healthy insulin levels and a healthy inflammatory response in horses. Dr. Patrick Lawless of Biological Prospects LLC, which developed these products, has pioneered the use of resveratrol in the animal health field. “Resveratrol must be in a purified and bioavailable formulation in order to be most effective,” he explained. Without this process, it can be unstable when exposed to light or oxygen and metabolized or excreted before it can reach tissues to exert therapeutic effects.
How can Resverasyn® support both joint health and metabolic health in horses?
