Osteoarthritis and Stiffness in Horses

Devil's claw is the go-to plant for treating arthritic pain in horses. Devil's claw helps maintain joints and reduce joint stiffness.
Devil's Claw, a plant that naturally soothes horse joints:

Harpagophytum procumbens or devil's claw, a source of harpagoside, is the go-to plant for managing sensitive joints in horses. Several scientific studies conducted on humans have shown that devil's claw is effective in reducing pain caused by osteoarthritis.
Devil's claw root is recommended to provide comfort and elasticity to the joints of sensitive horses, especially older ones.

What should Harpagophytum be used with?

To strengthen the action of devil's claw, you can integrate it with a chondroprotector such as MSM, a source of bioavailable sulfur, known for its benefits during inflammation of the connective tissue.
For horses with sensitive stomachs, devil's claw can be replaced with Boswellia serrata or Meadowsweet as a pure plant.
We also offer Arthromix, a unique blend of 9 selected plants to soothe and strengthen your horse’s joints, without devil’s claw for horses with sensitive stomachs.
