UltraCruz® Equine Senior Joint Supplement for Horses is a joint supplement for senior horses that provides key ingredients in a balanced formula designed to maintain joint health. It may also help relieve inflammation associated with normal daily exercise and activity.
Chondroitin Sulfate and Glucosamine work together to support new and existing cartilage.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a component of synovial fluid in the joint capsule and surrounding supportive tissues, and helps to lubricate the joint.
