We're rebranding. Over the next few weeks we’ll be making the move from total pets to puptons. You may receive items in both packaging for a short period. Please don’t worry, they are the same great products.
Thanks, don't show me this again.
What is MSM?
Methyl-sulfonyl methane, or MSM as it's more commonly known, occurs naturally in humans, animals and certain foods. It is a fundamental building block of the tissues that surround the joints, which include tendons and cartilage.
As horses age, their natural levels of MSM decline, which can have a detrimental impact on their joint health. Consequently, joint issues are more commonly observed in older horses – and those who are highly active, which places their joints under constant stress.
Benefits of MSM for horses
Supplementing with MSM can offer an array of benefits for horses, such as:
- Overall joint health – MSM plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy connective tissues, such as those found in the joints, tendons, and ligaments.
- Reducing inflammation – supplementing horses with MSM may help to alleviate joint stiffness, inflammation, and discomfort.
- Improving hoof health – MSM may also improve blood circulation, which supports overall well-being and hoof health.
- Preventing joint deterioration – horses that experience regular joint stress or are highly active may find MSM supplementation beneficial in the prevention of further damage to their joints.
- Immune support – MSM is a constituent of vitamins and antioxidants that are essential for optimum health.
- Lung health – MSM supports respiratory and lung function in horses, making it an ideal supplement for horses in training.
Does my horse need MSM?
MSM has been extensively researched as a joint supplement and has been shown to aid with mobility and overall joint health in horses. So, if your horse is struggling with joint-related problems, or you are looking to protect against future issues, then MSM offers a natural solution to help address these concerns.
MSM is also recommended as a daily supplement for horses partaking in regular exercise or competition, which places significant stress on their joints.
