Powerful Ingredients

- Curcumin (the star ingredient in Turmeric) to target equine joint stiffness and skin irritation, and for its antioxidant properties.
- Acacia Catechu has long been recognised by ayurvedic practitioners for its antioxidant properties. It can help to provide joint relief for horses, reduce stiffness, and improve mobility.
