Product Description
Used by champion horsemen to provide their horses with comprehensive joint support. Contains a special low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate more easily absorbed than the common high molecular weight chondroitin sulfate. Backed up by extensive clinical and field testing. Shown to be bioavailable in horses and to improve joint function in published studies in the US. The synergistic effect of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate performing their primary functions concurrently, using manganese and ascorbate as cofactors, is what makes Cosequin® unique and the only product of its kind. Cosequin® may be helpful for a horse suffering from Navicular. In the December 1, 2001 issue of Sidelines Equestrian News Magazine, there was a great article on the benefits of administering Cosequin® to horses with Navicular. The article gave reference to a study done by the College of Veterinary Medicine at Auburn University, in which horses with Navicular were given the supplement for 8 weeks. Results from the testing showed significant improvement with the Cosequin®. Choice of champion 3-day eventer Kimberly Severson. U.S. Patent No. 5,587,363.

We respect and value the importance of your veterinarian as the primary professional

regular veterinary care. Symptoms such as weight loss, diarrhea, sudden change in
behavior, etc. may be signs of a broader issue, so if you have concerns about your
horse’s health, we highly recommend you consult your
veterinarian first. Many veterinarians use our Product Specialists as a resource
in the care of their own animals, and to help them construct optimal supplement
programs for their clients. We welcome calls from your veterinarian, trainer or
farrier.
