At VitaMinalia we strive for continuous improvement of our products. Recently, therefore, the composition of VitaMinalia equine SPORT was further improved by adding MSM and glucosamine to the composition. This makes this complete supplement for sport horses even more complete. We would like to explain what MSM and glucosamine do exactly:

• MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a naturally occurring organic sulfur compound. Sulfur is very important as a building block of connective tissue (in tendons and muscles) and keratin (in fur and hooves), among other things, and plays a role in the formation of the body’s own antioxidants. Sulfur is very important for the elasticity of tendons, muscles and cartilage. Because of this, MSM has numerous positive properties such as reducing joint pain, supporting healthy connective tissue, cartilage, bones and hooves. In addition, it also has a positive effect on the coat of horses. Sport horses certainly benefit from MSM supplementation, besides the positive effects on the joints it also contributes to a faster recovery due to its anti-oxidative properties.

• Glucosamine is another substance that stimulates cartilage repair and can reduce joint pain. Glucosamine is a body’s own amino sugar and is an important building block for cartilage as well as a component of synovial fluid, necessary for the lubrication of joints. Glucosamine is also involved in the formation of hyaluronic acid, another important component of synovial fluid.

Since both substances are involved in the construction and maintenance of healthy cartilage and synovial fluid, a sufficiently long supplementation (at least 2-3 months) is important, since this is a process that takes a long time. From now on, by adding these substances to VitaMinalia equine SPORT, you can be sure that your horses get extra protection against the strain that training and competitions bring.
