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.

Pellet vs. Powder Supplement Formulations
UltraCruz® Supplements are now available in pelletized formulations. By using pellets, rather than powder, we have been able to:
- Ensure stability of active ingredients
- Maximize product freshness
- Reduce waste
All San Juan Ranch performance and breeding horses use UltraCruz® Equine pelletized products.
Love having the UltraCruz® Equine Chondroitin Sulfate pure for my horse. You cannot beat the price and the customer service of Santa Cruz!

21 years old and still feeling and looking like an 8 year old. Love Santa Cruz's UltraCruz® Equine Vitamin E, Chondroitin Sulfate, and Pure Flax Oil!

The shipping was fast, the UltraCruz® Equine Chondroitin Sulfate was fresh and my horse loves to eat his food with this product in it, which is hard to find! His joint stiffness is no longer noticeable and he’s feeling great! I will buy my joint products from this company only!
Cecela
I bought UltraCruz MSM, glucosamine and chondroitin so I can mix the precise amount I want for my horse's joint health. She didn't hesitate a bit when mixed into her grain!
I like the product details Santa Cruz Animal Health provides and they're a reputable company I am comfortable purchasing from.
