Omega Equine Glucosamine Extra – Horse Joint Supplement 900g

Omega Equine Glucosamine Extra – 900g

Glucosamine Extra is Omega's straightforward joint supplement, built around 12,100mg of glucosamine sulphate 2KCl per 30g serving and lifted with 2,160mg of MSM and 15mg of sodium hyaluronate. The glucosamine is vegan, produced by fermentation rather than from shellfish, which matters if you would rather not feed a marine-derived product.

It is fed at 30g a day for the first seven to ten days and 15g a day thereafter, so the 900g tub covers roughly 60 days once a horse is on maintenance — nearer 40 to 46 days if you count the loading period out of the same tub. Omega describe it as competition legal.

Performance & Benefits

• 12,100mg glucosamine sulphate 2KCl in each 30g serving, at the rate Omega recommend for joint support.
• 2,160mg MSM and 15mg sodium hyaluronate per serving alongside the glucosamine.
• Glucosamine is a naturally occurring amino-sugar involved in maintaining healthy cartilage, collagen, joint fluid, tendons and ligaments.
• Vegan glucosamine from fermentation, not shellfish.
• A dextrose and maltodextrin base on linseed meal, which keeps it palatable in a normal feed.
• Omega state the product is competition legal.

Suitable For

• Older horses and horses in consistent hard work.
• Horses whose owners want a single joint ingredient at a known dose rather than a broad blend.
• Anyone avoiding shellfish-derived glucosamine.
• Yards wanting a 60-day tub rather than a bulk pack.
• If you want boswellia, hyaluronic acid and avocado soybean unsaponifiables in one scoop instead, Omega Equine Flexology 930g is the broader formula.

Feeding

• Loading rate: 30g — two enclosed scoops — daily for the first 7 to 10 days.
• Maintenance rate: 15g — one scoop — daily thereafter.
• Omega state a 900g tub lasts approximately 60 days at the maintenance rate.
• Feeding the loading period from the same tub uses 210g to 300g, leaving roughly 40 to 46 days at maintenance.
• Mix into the normal feed. Fresh clean water should always be available.
• Omega also supply Glucosamine Extra in a 1.8kg refill pouch and a 3.6kg pack.
