UltraCruz® Equine Chondroitin Sulfate Supplement for Horses
- May help reduce inflammation associated with training and competition
- Supports connective tissue and joints
UltraCruz® Equine Chondroitin Sulfate Supplement for Horses is a pelleted formula designed to support healthy joints and cartilage in horses. Although cartilage is a very resilient tissue and can tolerate considerable stress and heavy loads, it has no blood vessels or nerves and therefore has a limited healing ability when injured.
