Description
Why choose Devil's Claw for horses?
Powerful calming properties
Devil's Claw for horses is extracted from the root of the plant Harpagophytum procumbens, which grows in southern and south-eastern Africa. Known for its powerful anti-inflammatory and sedative properties, Devil's Claw is widely used to provide comfort for stiff joints, muscle aches, soreness and inflammation in horses.
Benefits of Devil's Claw for horses
Supports joint health and comfort:
Devil's Claw helps relieve stiffness in joints and provides relief for horses suffering from muscle aches, minor strains and bruises.
Anti-inflammatory:
Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, Devil's Claw works by inhibiting inflammatory cytokines and enzymes, providing a similar effect to bute without the side effects.
Fast acting:
Relief from stiffness and discomfort is usually noticed within 12 to 24 hours of supplementation, making it ideal for emergency situations.
Supports muscle and joint function:
Devil's Claw supports joint health, especially in older horses or those suffering from chronic pain or osteoarthritis.
Non-toxic and safe:
Devil's Claw is a safe supplement with no unwanted side effects when used at the recommended dosage. However, it should not be given to pregnant mares.
What makes Devil's Claw different?
Forage Plus Devil's Claw root powder contains 5% harpagoside, which is the active ingredient that gives this supplement its calming and anti-inflammatory properties.
Many other Devil's Claw supplements contain only 1% active ingredient, making ours up to 5 times stronger than the competition.
